Trump is Reid’s kind of guy.

I’m sure Trunp has greased Reid’s palm a few times in the casino biz. They get along fine.

I know it’d difficult for you to believe but sometimes things ARE as they appear.

‘Kinda pulling for Trump’ means Harry will stick a slightly shorter knife in his back.

Reid's comment seems to be an acknowledgement that Trump gets along with people.

They're all big government operators. That's why they get along. That's why Trump donated to the Clintons. That's why he backed De Blasio. With Trump you'll get endless "deals" with Reid and Pelosi.

Peas in a pod.

You are 100% correct, and Lib-Lickers put it best: They have changed their tune quite drastically from just a few months ago, now that they realize he's going to win.

A deal to a republican has smeant giving everything democrats want in exchange for one or two compliments from a democrat during an MSNBC interview.

Correct. I've said before, the voters of California thought they were electing The Terminator, but they got Kindergarten Cop.

Ditto this

Did you read the full quote? Reid is saying that he personally finds Trump more likeable, but is totally opposed to his policies.

Reid’s comments should be ignored. He’s been pulling something alright. He wears contact lenses.

I'll try to convey why I support Trump in a way that gets through.

The US is in a mess....we're way down that slippery slope to the trash heap of failed civilizations. Trump gets it. He's seen all that's bad that has happened since our age group grew up in the 1950s and 1960s. In the interim, he's had a successful career building beautiful things and being a loving and dedicated father and grandfather. My take from all that....Trump really does want to "Make America Great Again".

To do that, we all have to agree on that goal, even though we have different definitions of what "Great" means and even when we agree on that, how to get there. We need someone who can prioritize and persuade others. We need someone who knows which things cannot be compromised.

That's Trump. We'll never save the nation with someone everybody who is involved in governing despises or with someone who sells out to the highest bidder before they even unpack in DC.

Trump is that unlikely hero that occurs at critical times in history. Someone who can change the course of things, by sheer force of will. Who comes to mind? Lech Walesa, Eva Peron, Caesar Chavez, MLK, Ghandi. We're staring at a real opportunity, and folks will throw it away for their political agenda. What's the point of choosing a pol to undo the mess we're in?

No thank you. Fascism and national bankruptcy are not things to which I aspire.

I’m not saying I agree with their philosophies. I’m saying they are unlikely heroes and patriots who came along when their people needed a leader and they changed the course of things.

This is misdirection. Reid knows how much we loathe him.

This is misdirection.

Rather glaringly obvious, isn't it?

Trump hasn't been part of the eGOP "scene" in DC and those that have spent their entire lives climbing the social ladder in the eGOP are scared they won't retain their positions if Trump wins. Period. THAT is why they oppose Trump.

"Don't look now, but while our best conservative is running a political campaign, Trump is leading a rebellion. Not as a liberal or a conservative politician, but as a successful red-blooded, can-do American capitalist.", Jim Robinson

Very revealing. So Reid likes Trump and wants him nominated. And yet he’s anti-Establishment? Whatever!
