Ted Cruz: If You Want Someone To Cut Deals, With Reid, Pelosi and Schumer Then Trump Is Your Guy

The Right Scoop ^ | 1/21/2016 | Right Scoop

Ted Cruz hit back at Donald Trump today for his attack on Cruz, that he won't go along to get along to curry favor in Washington.

Of course Cruz accepts this criticism and in turn says that if you want someone who will go along to get along and cut deals with the likes of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, then Donald Trump is your guy.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's clear Trump puts a high priority on his ability to cut deals with people and that's just not something I'm looking for in a candidate. I'm looking for someone who will push back against the DC establishment and push them to the right through solid leadership, so when they do end up cutting a deal, it's better for America.

That's not Donald Trump. He'll kowtow to the media and the establishment like all the other sellouts in Washington. Just look at his position on ethanol in Iowa for the most recent example

Ted is very smart...just not too bright. You cut deals wherein you win and they lose.

A refusal to cut deals leaves a stalemate wherein there is no progress.

Cruz’s pitches are getting increasingly stupid. He’s basically setting himself up to have a position where he refuses to attempt to work any bill through congress, since he won’t “negotiate” in any way. Though he was plenty happy to negotiate over legalization in the past.

It's worked for Obama. Just undoing his Exec Orders would be serious progress. Let the McConnells and Ryans earn the right to be "dealt" with.

[pollywog]

I see Ted Cruz undo-ing Obama’s Exec Orders... not TRUMP.

[D Rider]

Funny, Obama has been very successful in not cutting deals. He always gets what he wants.

[Ajnin]

Right, Trump will win and the American people will lose

[so_real]

Whaaaat? A president that would use "veto" power against liberal democrats and republicans alike ?!?!? This can't be. I like that guy.

[Raycpa]

Yes Ted, believe it or not the president will have to cut deals with the opposition to get things done. Just like Reagan did.

[conservativejoy]

All the Dems have to do is pucker up, flatter Trump a little and he will be putty in their hands. Ask Putin.

[RKBA Democrat]

Booksmart genius. Streetsmart dunce.

In the real world, deals are how things get done. The question is whether you get good deals or the sh!t sandwich the gop has been handing us for the last 30 years and calling it filet mignon.

I'm a Cruz supporter, and I expect Trump to undo some of Obama's stuff, just not ALL of it, like Cruz would. Trump would also come up with a few EOs of his own.

[Java4Jay]

If you truely want to make America Great Again Cruz is your man.

[IMR 4350]

You’re not too bright.

Trump would have a majority in the house and senate he wouldn’t need to cut deals with democrats to advance a republican agenda he would only need to cut deals with the republican majority if his objective is to advance the democrat agenda.

[babble-on]

That’s not cutting a deal, that’s beating someone. Trump doesn’t want to win, he wants to “cut deals” his words not mine.

[conservativejoy]

Trump has done well making deals for Trump, but there is ZERO evidence he knows how to make deals for the country. So far, his crowning policy is a Huge win for Democrats since he will bring back millions of new Democrat voters with his Touch Back Amnesty plan.

[conservativejoy]

Cruz is THE Man, accept no substitute.

[pollywog]

Has TRUMP said that he will resend some of these EO’s?

[FourPeas]

Liberals, like GOPe, like candidates that compromise their principles. They're flexible. Just like Obama with Putin.

[The Iceman Cometh]

Is Cruz saying he wouldn't cut a deal where he got 95% of what he wanted and had to compromise on 5%?
