Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is stressing his bona fides as a dealmaker who'd be able to enter the White House and work with congressional Democrats to hammer out agreements.
"I think I'm going to be able to get along with Pelosi — I've always had a good relationship with Nancy Pelosi," Trump said Tuesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," referring to the House minority leader.
"Reid's going to be gone. I've always had a decent relationship with Reid," Trump said, referring to Harry Reid (D-Nev.), the Senate minority leader. "I always had a great relationship with Harry Reid."
Trump said he thought he'd get along with "just about everybody," including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), likely to be the next Senate Democratic leader, who Trump said he was "close to ... in many in ways."
Your taxes are being cut under his plan just like every other tax paying American so, no, you won’t paying for more free stuff for anyone. thank you for playing though.
GREAT...more going along, to get along. Just what we need.
Can’t people see it’s the same thing we’ve been fighting and trying to get OUT of office?? Ugh
I agree with you and I think Donald trump understands that the Democrats are not going to be coperative .....Donald trump defiantly has his faults but I suggest those that are concerned take a look at the back episodes of the apprentice. Most of it is dribble but what is interesting is the end of the show when they do the boardroom shtik. watch how he zeroes in on those that end up before him. he spots weakness immediately and he can spot some one trying to game him. he wont be able to fire Pelosi or any other democrat but he will be able to manipulate them into doing what he wants because I believe he understands there motives and how there own personnel interest supersedes everything.
Do you think the Left sees it that way?
Presumably the Republican has the Republican vote. So who is Trump reaching out to here?
The Left belches about nothing getting done, and he says he will get things done.
He has a platform he is running on, and I expect him to act on it. The Republicans will be in the majority.
We’re not going to elect Trump in a landslide and then turn Congress over to the Left.
We won’t have to worry about him dealing with Pelosi and Ried.
If he even speaks with Pelosi this country is done. Wake up America.
If Rubio had said this, we’d hear “RINO!!” “TRAITOR,” and “SELLOUT.”
But when it’s Trump... ah yes... it’s just the brilliance in him speaking.
Right as Rain. Trump 2016
Thanks. Let’s be proud and honest conservatives. Trump is going to bend because he has no core values. It’s sad that he’s fooling so many people.
An autocrat is what they want; an autocrat is what they’ll get.
Not to the cultists.
Their excuses are already lined up. And when former Democrat Donald Trump knifes them in the back, they'll have a new set of excuses for why it's a "Terrific, terrific deal. Wonderful deal!" already lined up.
See post #115
Do you remember the George W. Bush administration? Did we have majorities? His philosophy and ideology are everything! Leaders lead.
Bingo
There once was a time when we wanted someone to stand up to the establishment/cartel.
Get a clue. This is excuse making for the leader of your cult. He's telling you you're going to have to drink the Kool-Aid, and you're already telling the rest of us how great it's going to taste.
For four to six years he did have a majority in Congress both or one body.
What did he accomplish with it. Did he avoid the 2008 meltdown with it?
Yikes.
Hardcore Cruz supporters:
Trump said he could shoot someone and his supporters wouldn’t care. He knows them best. He’s developed a bond with them that defies facts. Cognitive dissonance about his past and present they can deal with quite well. It’s the guy who says, “Look. The king has no clothes.” That upsets them. Telling the truth about Trump has become a real sin to his supporters.
Trump can do a 180 on his values and positions and not lose the Trump supporters.
FOR How many YEARS have we gotten NOTHING?
I’ll go with Trump who I know can get us SOMETHING. Maybe it won’t be perfect, but it WILL BE one Heck of a lot better than what we’ve received for all the worthless promises since 2010. What have our majorities produced other than an advancement of the Obama wrecking ball? Well, I want somebody to make a wrecking ball work for US! Go Trump!
