(Breitbart) – Republicans in Washington are caving to the Democrats on every major issue, real estate magnate and potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump tells Breitbart News in an exclusive interview.
Trump says if he were president of the United States and leader of the Republican Party, he’d end this kind of horrendous negotiating by Republicans.
“It would be a lot different than it is now,” Trump said.
SPECIAL: Modern Day Patriots, this is the time to stand shoulder to shoulder with our forefathers in Lexington and Concord. We need the Tea Party now more than ever.
I’m a conservative Republican, but I’m in many respects a lot more disappointed in the Republicans than I am in the Democrats. Democrats want what they want, and Republicans cave at every corner. Nobody understands why. They have the cards and they don’t use them. So many different things are allowed to go by whether it’s the vote from the other night [the doc fix bill] or many of the different votes over the last few years.
Over the course of this week, Republicans in Washington have caved on everything fromthe Iran deal legislation from Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) to the national debt with the “doc fix” bill to gay marriage to trade promotion authority. Just a few short months into 2015, Republicans have caved on everything from abortion to Obamacare to immigration and more. And they’re currently looking for a way to cave on the Loretta Lynch nomination for Attorney General.
“The Republicans fold at every corner and nobody really understands why,” Trump said.

We all know why:
1. The NSA 2. alliance with the democrats in their hatred for conservatism
Pretty good summary explanation.
While I agree, and I hope this new wave of young Republicans can change this. I’m getting sick of Trump. What does he do in politics other than run his mouth all the time?
These guys are lifers. There is no way they would ever favor term limits.
Did his “investigators” take time off from digging up “unbelievable, stunning” dirt on the kenyan long enough to discover this for Trump?
"Fold? We, the EXEMPT, support our first Moslem Indonesian King ...
and are behind the IRS attacks on the TEA PARTY and conservatives."
Another important reason is that as long as it costs near to nothing to borrow and spend and be in debt, the Party of Government will continue to kiss up to their Chamber of Commerce buddies who want to use the U.S. taxpayer as their unlimited credit card. The Senate and Congress in turn continue to rake in generous donations. Therefore, no need to really listen to voters or what else is really going on in the real world.
I can remember about three years ago, in highlighting one facet of DC culture, John Lott discussed the cruise ship that is always fully stocked with alcoholic beverages that Senators and Congressmen use very often to discuss and negotiate over things (including Pat Toomey’s cave on gun control following Sandy Hook). Forgive me, but this seems to stick in my mind concerning the culture of government.
This guy is nothing but a stalking horse.
“What does he do in politics other than run his mouth all the time?”
Spends money. That gives him a say.
In some ways, Trump reminds me of Palin. Both are sensible people, with really good ideas. These ideas resonate strongly with the middle class. And both are very willing to call it as they see it. But both just can't quite put it all together. And in Palin's case, the MSM was, and is, a vicious enemy.
Ah...what might have been.
The NSA has a record of everything that anyone in Congress ever said or posted on any electronic device and the tools for extracting much more information about movements and meetings extractable from that. There is blackmail material on every member. The bar for what constitutes “damaging” information is set extremely low, besides. ALL of the members are subject to blackmail. That is why so many of our tea party young bucks become cowed sheep within minutes of taking their seats after election. There is no cure for it. The situation is permanent. We live in a dictatorship. It will get worse before it gets worse.
For whom?
Trump is a PR whore, that’s all. For him, nothing is more valuable than free news coverage.
I’m getting sick of Trump. What does he do in politics other than run his mouth all the time?
I’m thankful that he IS out there “running his mouth” about the spineless Pubbies. He’s one of the very few who are sounding alarms. Keep at it, Donald Trump!
What does it hurt?
No idea, but if he gets in the race, he is going after Cruz’s votes.
Face it, most politicians LIE about what they believe to get elected.
The reason it's so easy for them to fold... is because they are not folding. They are like brer rabbit saying:
Please Dont Throw Me In Dat Briar Patch!
They make a show of it to make it look like they tried to fight it and promise to fight on in the future, but in reality they are honestly relieved.
Wasn’t it Margaret Thatcher that said “Compromise is the absence of leadership”?
That kind of sums up the problem in a nutshell.
It is imperative in 2016 that we find someone who truly believes in conservative principles and is willing and able to fight for them.
Cruz definently fits that bill, and possibly Walker.
The rest either are pretending and dont truly believe, or are unwilling or in the case of someone like Perry unable to competently fight for them.
The Donald is just a joke and a distraction.
Like him or not, Trump calls it as he sees it and correctly.
