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."

as opposed to Cruz who can’t even work with Republicans.
On the surface it’s troubling, unless you know Trump the businessman. When Trump says he’ll “work with someone,” it’s on his terms and as a winner. The Dems have never encountered a winner. All our guys lose.
The undercurrent here is subtle, and Cruzers/Trump haters will not like it, but it has to be understood in the context of Trump’s “deal making” . . . except he wins in his deals.
You have worked with and donated to Marxist Democrats all your life, Donald. Why should you stop as President? I give you credit for a rare moment of honesty!
He’s not going to have a choice. Deals will have to be made to get this country back on track. The trick will be keeping the important stuff off the table. There are obviously things that can’t be part of any deal.
Democrats won’t work with him.
This is not Tip O’Neill’s Democrat Party.
They are hard-core and thoroughly Alinskyized.
But can work with employers who really like those H1B employees.
“as opposed to Cruz who can’t even work with Republicans.”
***************
You said it. Close the thread. Hammer already hit nail, *see above.
Trump is more like Wendell Wilkie than any former Republican candidate I can find. Turns out that Wilkie was more a progressive than FDR, a real one-worlder.To be expected, of course, he was a Democrat before he was a Republican.
true and Cruz can raise money from gay New Yorkers
Who were until very recently better and more accurately called Vichy Republican or Democrat Lites around here.
How soon we forget.
Mind boggling.
I won’t vote for that. I want someone to tell them no.
Cruz ain’t the topic.
This is a good thing? Are there any non-negotiable principles, in your opinion? Why *should* Cruz “work with” sell-out Republicans if they are joining Democrats in fleecing future generations and destroying our nation? Please explain!
