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."

Sorry, not a Cruz supporter. Not an anybody supporter at this point because I don’t need to be until later in the primary cycle. Trump is an unqualified arrogant, egotistical loudmouth, most of whose accomplishments are imaginary themes from his own endless, shameless self-promotion. We tried that route eight years ago; no need to make that mistake again.

yes it is a TV show and it is entertainment but at the time he was doing the show he was not thinking about how it would look when running for president...I am guessing you have not looked at it....I know that these shows are half scripted and a lot is done in editing to manipulate the audience. the only thing interesting in the board room sequences and the logic he uses in his decisions.

Trump supported the detestable Terry McAuliffe for governor here in Virginia.

How about explaining that one? Tell us all about the redeeming qualities about McAuliffe that justify a $25,000 donation.

He admitted those deals were a mistake.

If you liked John Boehner, you'll love The Donald®

“What are we willing to negotiate away to get what Trump is promising?”

He’ll nominate his sister for SCOTUS to replace Ginsberg. The Dems will go for that and he’ll tell the GOPe it was a wash anyway so the Dems really didn’t get anything.

Trump is way more qualified than that mere Obama street organizer.

Let's put this in the context of the Trumpster's comments. He was bashing the "nasty" Cruz. Why? Because Cruz has held strongly to conservative values. Cruz hasn't gone along to get along. He's borne the brunt of the scorn of the Republican leadership for not giving in to the Democrats. So in that context Trump bashed Cruz for not caving in, for standing up for conservative values. Trump is again using liberal talking points to bash a real conservative. Now, I don't care if people want to be a liberal. They're just wrong. It's a free country. But be a liberal. Don't be a pretend conservative, like Trump. See the link.

Inheriting a fortune and driving one business after another into receivership isn’t a qualification.

So we have a majority in the House and a majority in the Senate. They ALL campaigned on STOP Obama but instead they gave Obama everything he wanted and according to Pelosi even more than they asked for. So what would you suggest? Voting for another sure fire slick tongued lawyer-politician instead of taking a chance on a proven winner. You must be one of those fools who bet against Secretariat.

You sound more like paranoia is flying, not red flags. Very shallow understanding of Trump and his stands on making America SOLVENT again if you think he is going to cooperate with Dems on things that matter. He’ll negotiate... and he’ll win, for us.

I am certain he has poll tested everything he says

I'm pretty sure he has NEVER poll tested anything he says.

Paul Ryan hasn’t been making “Deals” with Democrats, he’s been throwing them a Birthday Party. Deals are a totally different thing. A good deal is when you get what you want and the other party gets a little of something too. Otherwise they won’t deal with you again. We’ve been giving away the country and getting nothing in return. Time to change that and only one person has the strength, intelligence, and talent to do it. TRUMP! Like it or Lump it.

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.

Exactly. It's like saying "I can work with a car salesman". And then proceed to buy the car for well below cost.

Well, if you support that, then you must be happy with the GOPe.
