Trump to Ed Klein: Being 'Rebel' Won't Work, I'll Make Nice with GOP Establishment

Newsmax ^ | May 9,2016 | By Greg Richter

[Hojczyk]

Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump says he will seek to get along with House Speaker Paul Ryan and other party leaders for the general election, Ed Klein writes in a blog post to be published Tuesday.

"I first thought I might be better off without Ryan and the support of the party," Klein quotes Trump. "I've done great as a rebel up to now with fantastic crowds everywhere, and for a time I was going to play the meeting in Washington as a rebel."

But Trump told Klein that while being a rebel in the primary season is fine, the general election is different.

"So I've decided that getting along is better," he said. "I think it will play well in Washington."

Trump will make them an offer they can’t refuse.

[BigEdLB]

An offer they can’t refuse? Or someone will wake up with Lindsey Graham’s head in their bed?

Who is Joe NBC?

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Former Congressman Joe Scarborough from FLorida. circa 1990s. Now hosts "morning Joe" on MSNBC. Was "shilling" for Trump up until a fortnight ago. Destroyed Rubio like Christie did, a big part of Christie's Narrative. Co host Mika Brezinkski wears the pants.

I’ve said all along that Trump will say whatever he needs to behind closed doors.

He will tell them whatever they want to hear, under the proviso they keep it quiet until after the election.

Then he will screw them!

A world class businessman know how to play to win.

“I’ve said all along that Trump will say whatever he needs to behind closed doors.

Right out of The Prince by Machiavelli. I am sure that Trump has read “The Prince”.

Knocking off Ryan would play better.

That might have already happened but won't come to fruition until the November elections when Ryan loses to his opponent....

[Tucker39]

There are people already working on dispatching Ryan to the unemployed rolls; one by the name of Nehlen, for openers. Trump has his own campaign to run.

“I can assure you Trump isn’t in this to get cash from some fund raising.”

LOL it’s ALL about the money. He knows the economy is going to tank and he is already losing his own money with golf memberships dropping ($35k+ country club memberships), vacationing is down, and of course no more casinos? So he runs for president that he talked about for 35 years and didn’t bother to learn about delegates.

As of March 1 2016 his campaign is $36mil in debt. He doesn’t want to spend his own money, but he has spent $47mil of the $49mil in donations.

Reality has set in.....let’s see if it is too late.

[GOPJ]

Trump's flexible. If this is what feels right, fine. If the situation changes Trump's smart enough to change with it...

[dragnet2]

Trumps golf membership is down? So he got into this for some extra cash?

Just brilliant!

[Rebelbase]

Get the nomination, get the Presidency and it’s a new game by his rules.

Remember how the liberal MSM tendency is to put up a false portrait of a person, allow it to stay in the news cycle briefly, then makes a retraction on page 10?

What if one manipulated that system, based on the different response patterns-—liberals having developed a Pavlovian acceptance response to MSM screeds-—everyone else reserving acceptance because once past the immediate news cycle, there will come confirmation of a false narrative?
