Donald Trump: I'm Wasting Time On Republican Rivals

Donald Trump's main focus is the end of the primaries so that he can begin the fundraising for the GOP as well as the down-ballot races.

"It's really important that we win because, if we win, you know, we want to raise money for the party," Trump said at a rally Sunday. "We want to do - raise money for the senate races and for the congressional races and do a lot of things."

Trump has made "self-funding" a vital part of the campaign, spending most of his time railing against the Republican National Committee's nominating rules and delegate system.

But now, not wanting to waste more time, he speaks to a full house in Indiana a few days before its crucial primary and says he is "wasting time" taking out a drive against competitors like Cruz and Kasich who are "hanging on by their fingertips."

"They have no path," he reiterated once again.

He also made huge promises to women. "Nobody will be better to women and nobody will be better to women's health issues - a big thing - than Donald Trump," Trump said. "That I can tell you. Nobody."

However, he did not specify the particular health issues that he would focus on, even though he pointed out some he felt had helped him earn female voters in states such as New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.

"I won with women because you know what? Women want to see a strong country. Women want to see a strong military. Women want to see strong borders."

He went off on another tangent when he linked "Crooked Hillary" to the Iraqi government.

"How stupid are we?" Trump asked rhetorically of America's past foreign policy choices in the Middle East. "I said when we left [Iraq], we shouldn't have been in, but when we left I could see it was a crooked government. In fact, Hillary could have run the government. Crooked, it works for her. No, it was a crooked government. That's where we should put Hillary."

As he outlined the impending GOP convention in Cleveland, Trump again doused the idea of a second round of balloting. "We don't play the second ballot game," he said. "We're only playing to win."
