Trump: I'll work with Democrats
The Hill ^ | 26 Jan 16 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 01/26/2016 9:45:02 AM PST by elhombrelibre

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."

This is ABSOLUTE PROOF that Ted Cruz has been telling the truth the entire time, and Marco Rubio and his supporters are absolute liars. 2013 interview with Rush Limbaugh, where Ted Cruz submits to America, what Rubio and the Gang of 8 was doing AT THE TIME IT WAS HAPPENING. This was recorded BEFORE IT WAS VOTED ON. So Rubio and his lying supporters can’t claim Ted changed his view, when here he is, live on Limbaugh, in 2013, saying the SAME THING HE IS SAYING NOW. https://youtu.be/sLjBG3EE0G4

“Win or lose, my biggest fear with Trump as the POTUS is what I’ll work with Democrats actually means when the time comes. A sensible person, whether a die-hard Trump supporter or not, should harbor the same fear.”

When McCain,Bush, ect say this, everyone freaks and rightly so.

Trump says it, it’s all good

Two more...

He made the comment to motivate the other candidates to better themselves.
Trump’s brilliance just makes it more possible for him to make it happen.

Trump supporters think Trump's own words do not matter. Like Trump, they're comfortable with situational "conservatism" and Trump's moral relativism. Link is to Trump in his own words.

Exactly my point. Trump and Bush are both inside liberals who will cut deals to make “government work”. Turns out the same way. Wake up America.

"I always had a great relationship with Harry Reid."

And Reid has a habit of being nasty and saying nasty things. Which, will provide hours of great entertainment if he was ever stupid enough to take a swipe at Trump.

Here’s another angle Cruzies may not get. “Genius” is putting this out there right before the debate to see who takes the bite in the debate? Maybe some other ‘genius’ will challenge Trump on it? Teddy perhaps?

Paul Ryan has already been making deals with Democrats. How is that working out for you?

Right. Because working with Nancy Pelosi has always been a "win" for America.

Kool-Aid, Kool-Aid.
Tastes Great!
Trumpbots love it.
Can't wait.

Check in with Bart Stupak. He'll tell you how dealing with "Stretch" Pelosi worked out for him.

So Ronald Reagan was an “inside liberal” because he cut deals with Tip ONeil?

Hardly.

Don’t forget the next CIC might just be putting in up to 4 SCOTUS members....and THAT is a big thing to consider for who should be making those nominees.

Ya gotta wonder what “deals” will be made, and what Dems will be worked with, if Trump is making the SCOTUS nominees.

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.

Exactly... a bond that is emotional and nearly spiritual. This is very reminiscent of the Obamalove that swept the country in 2008.

Equating Tip O'Neil with the douchebags who lead today's democrat party is folly. They're not even close.

We were all ticked off when W did it.

You don't get it.

We we're all horrified when the Democrats hailed a secular progressive as their Messiah, as well.

Trump is not Bush. Trump is not 0bama. Trump is Trump forever and ever amen. Drink of his Kool-Aid. Eat of his Dealmaking. Trump is The One they have been waiting for.

RE:”Yeah but Trump is gonna make great deals for the country..lol”

He will ‘make America great again’ with those deals. It will be fabulous.

Palin Endorsement of Trump best lines
:
They stomp on our neck, and then they tell us, ‘Just chill, O.K., just relax.’ Well, look, we are mad, and we've been had. They need to get used to it.”

How about the rest of us? Right-winging, bitter-clinging, proud clingers of our guns, our God, and our religion, and our Constitution.”

Mr. Trump, you're right, look back there in the press box. Heads are spinning, media heads are spinning. This is going to be so much fun.”

Well, and then, funny, ha ha, not funny, but now, what they're doing is wailing, ‘Well, Trump and his Trumpeters, they're not conservative enough.’ “

Trumpeters HAHA
