Trump: When I get to Washington, I’m Going to Become Part of the Establishment so I can Make Deals With Democrats (VIDEO)

I am not making this up or exaggerating what Donald Trump said. These are his words and you can see the video for yourself. Via the Blaze, Trump literally says that when he gets to Washington he’s going to become an establishment politician so that he can get some really great, super huge, classy deals done.

The dems will absolutely dig-in on any of their pet issues and can be fully expected to balk at Trumps immigration and border security agenda.

Most likely, the Dems and the GOPe will make a deal with Trump and give us a deport and expedited return, touchback, legalization amnesty for the 10 or 15 million non criminals.

[The real issue is specifically which deals Trump would seek to make. Right now I trust that he would focus on the border, fair trade, the military, the budget and healthcare. ]

Well said and has the ring of truth. We have elected many so called conservatives to Congress in 2010 and 2014, and what have they done but join the left wing wackos in spending and hogtying our Constitution. DC dems and rinos need to be deported and go to Europe and live in the caliphate they love over there.

Except for the Social Security deal. Is one enough to refute “never”?

“The Donald is altogether contemptuous of any and all lobbies,”

I hate to be the bearer of bad news for you but Trump with his bragging of owning the politicians who’s palm he greases is bragging about being a lobby all by his little lonesome.

Such eloquence. Calling something BS does not change the facts. I was working with the Party at the time and heard first hand from a couple of congressmen what occurred behind the scenes after meetings between the two. Loved Reagan and hated O’Neil’s Massachusetts politics. That did not stop them from talking in civil terms.

Fast forward to Obama who’s only time is my way or the highway. He was never faced with strong Republican House and Senate leadership that would stand their own ground. They also could not communicate effectively directly to the people.

I believe Trump, while not as socially conservative as I, can take his case directly to the people. He is a leader and we have not had a leader who believes in the values of this country since Reagan.

What you believe is that Trump will build a wall. The rest of his inconsistencies you are willing to ignore or to justify because you believe he will build a wall - period.

Reagan did not make deals with Tip O’Neill. Reagan got things passed in the House through conservative democrats in the South,

Reagan made deals with O’Neil. O’Neil was forced to the table because Reagan effectively went to the people and enough Democrats knew they had to side with Reagan’s position or potentially lose their seat in the next election. Right now the Democrats have enough Republicans along with leadership that is bought and sold by the National CoC to protect Obama. Trump will not be a pushover. I believe enough Democrats would be scared that they will support his ideas. The Republican “leadership” will go along.

My fear is who will be the VP.

I have Cruz as my second choice but he will be totally out-maneuvered by the GOPe without Trump in the race.

Ryan was maneuverd into the Speaker slot. Everything was great except Trump threw a monkey wrench into the works. Cruz would have been a sacrificial “conservative”. Trump is not bought sold or controlled. If he wins he picks the GOP chair and runs the apparatus. The old GOPe will be damaged much as when Reagan was President.


Exactly. The Chamber runs the RNC because there is no GOP POTUS. First thing Trump does as POTUS elect is fire Rinse, guaranteed. Then he’ll fumigate the RNC building. Maybe install a few gold faucets in the place. But the Chambers run is over there, that’s for sure.

It’s true about Reagan and Tip.

It was the same way in Texas with Bush and Bob Bullard.

But Pelosi and Reid ain’t Tip or Bob. And that’s the difference.

What kind of deals? Now if it’s a sort of deal that diverts funds from entitlements to infrasturcture then I am for it.

If it’s a deal to allow trans bathrooms in public schools in exchange for less union control, I’m against it.

I think he’ll make good fiscal deals. Cultural impact deals I’m not so sure about.

If Trump wins and returns a certain degree of formality to the White House, ie professionalism, the media will scream how he is looking down at the little folks. I for one want a certain decorum and professionalism in the White House that has been missing for over twenty years.

that is quit a different context.

i might point out that i wish Reagan had fought harder for cuts, but i guess that was not possible with a majority dem congress.

and i dont know why trump made that “empty suit” comment about Reagan.

I think he supported him and i think he just talked so much over the past 30 years and if you talk enough, some foolish things are gonna come out.

Lord knows that applies to me :)

This made up quote by GOP establishment mouthpiece redstate redstate has now been posted at FR about fifty-five gazillion times in the past two days.

Can’t you Trump-haters find some ORIGINAL garbage hit-pieces against Trump? It’s getting REALLY boring seeing the same ones over and over again, particularly the ones from redstate, which is nothing but ALL Trump hit-pieces ALL the time.

BTW, let us not forget that just a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart!

Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t.

The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle.

Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”.

Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates (Cruz excepting of course) and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.

Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb.

Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”.

The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs.

And our nation wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin.

And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice.

President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.

So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.

When The Donald does it, it’s not a lobby.

It is just a part of “The Art of the Deal”.

(Aw, hell, do I HAFTA say that was a sort of poke? People tend to overthink these things.)

>>In short, I see Trump making the “establishment”his establishment.<<

Why not? Trump’s political philosophy is a blank canvas. You can paint anything you want on it.

Just don’t be too disappointed if it turns out he has other ideas.

This is so discouraging. It’s clear evidence that Obama was not a one-off, but rather that his election was a sign that our country has deteriorated to the point that it’s beyond saving. Now we get to elect our own demagogue, a man who says what people want to hear and they believe him despite his recent past. No different than Obama, just elected by a different bunch of people also willing to believe in Hope and Change.

Well what they want to hear is he is the master of the Art of the Deal........hoorah hoorah..,

He started himself out as being Anti establishment...., something happened on the way to his next YUGH rally. He has them hooked and now says he is for the lets make a deal establishment.

I get the feeling now that the GOPe really wanted him, so they played the game of hate Trump..., so we would say well if the GOPe hates him, he's our guy....Now the mask has come off.

Mitch McConnell now is ok with Trump. And is also putting up a bill that says the Pres. will have martial law power anytime he wants. Was this for Obama or the power to be?

It is something to consider.
