Trump, Bush square off over casinos in Florida

GOVERNOR BUSH, IN ADDITION TO THE FACT HE'S AN OUTSIDER, ONE OF THE REASONS MR. TRUMP IS A FRONT RUNNER, REPUBLICAN VOTERS SAY IS BECAUSE THEY LIKE THE FACT THAT HE IS NOT BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY WEALTHY DONORS. MR. TRUMP HAS REPEATEDLY SAID THAT THE $100 MILLION YOU'VE RAISED FOR YOUR CAMPAIGN MAKES YOU A PUPPET FOR YOUR DONORS. ARE YOU? >> NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. PEOPLE ARE SUPPORTING ME BECAUSE I HAVE A PROVEN RECORD OF CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP WHERE I CUT TAXES $19 BILLION OVER EIGHT YEARS. WE SHRUNK THAT, PEOPLE KNOW WE NEED PRINCIPLE CENTERED LEADERSHIP, DISRUPTOR TO GO TO WASHINGTON D.C. THE ONE GUY THAT HAD SPECIAL INTEREST THAT I KNOW OF THAT TRIED TO GET ME TO CHANGE MY VIEWS AND GENEROUS AND GAVE ME MONEY WAS DONALD TRUMP. HE WANTED CASINO GAMBLING IN FLORIDA. >> NO I DIDN'T. >> YES, YOU DID. >> I WAS OPPOSED TO CASINO GAMBLING BEFORE. >> I PROMISE I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT. >> I'M NOT GOING TO BE BOUGHT BY ANYBODY. >> I PROMISE, IF I WANTED IT, I WOULD HAVE GOT IT. >> NOT EVEN POSSIBLE. >> I KNOW MY PEOPLE. >> IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT THIS? >> NO, I'LL TELL YOU THAT JEB MADE THE STATEMENT. NOT ONLY REFERRING TO HIM. A LOT OF MONEY WAS RAISED BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND THE DOW NAR NORS, SPECIAL INTEREST HAVE STRONG POWER. I'M SPENDING ALL OF MY MONEY, NOT SPENDING, NOT GETTING ANY, I TURNED DOWN SO MUCH I COULD HAVE RIGHT NOW FROM SPECIAL INTEREST AND DONORS, I COULD HAVE DOUBLE AND TRIPLE WHAT HE'S GOT. I'VE TURNED IT DOWN. I'VE TURNED DOWN LAST WEEK $5 MILLION FROM SOMEBODY. SO I WILL TELL YOU, I UNDERSTAND THE GAME. I'VE BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE ALL OF MY LIFE, AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF CONTROL OVER OUR POLITICIANS AND I DON'T SAY THAT FAVORABLY AND NOT SURE IF THERE IS ANOTHER SYSTEM BUT I SAY I AM NOT ACCEPTING ANY MONEY FROM ANYBODY, NOBODY HAS CONTROL OF ME OTHER THAN THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY. I'LL DO THE RIGHT THING. >> YOU GOT, ACCORDING TO WHAT YOU SAID ON ONE OF THE TALK SHOWS, YOU'VE GOT HILLARY CLINTON TO GO TO YOUR WEDDING BECAUSE YOU GAVE HER MONEY. >> THAT'S TRUE. >> MAYBE IT WORKS FOR HILLARY CLINTON, IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ANYBODY ON THIS STAGE. >> I WAS A BUSINESSMAN. I GOT ALONG WITH CLINTON AND EVERYBODY. THAT WAS MY JOB TO GET ALONG WITH PEOPLE. >> THE FACT IS -- >> EXCUSE ME, ONE SECOND -- >> NO. >> MORE ENERGY TONIGHT. I LIKE THAT. [ LAUGHTER ] >> I WAS ASKED THE QUESTION -- >> I DIDN'T WANT -- IT WAS MY OBLIGATION AS A BUSINESSMAN TO MY FAMILY, TO MY COMPANY, TO MY EMPLOYEES TO GET ALONG WITH ALL POLITICIANS AND I DID A GOOD JOB IN DOING IT. >> SUPPORTING PELOSI, SCHUMER, CLINTON. >> GOT ALONG WITH EVERYBODY. >> WHEN HE ASKED FLORIDA TO HAVE CASINO GAMBLING,
