"I'm not in the gang. I'm not in the group where the group does whatever it's supposed to do,” Trump said, citing his prowess at alienating his fellow party members. "I want to do what's right for the country — not what's good for special interest groups that contribute, not what's good for the lobbyists and the donors."
