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."

Yes, I don't know why Trump doesn't run as a Democrat. He's still emotionally one and his values are those of New York Democrats. Great clip for you.

Donald actually agrees with the Democrats. He's just been bamboozling the naive and gullible.

Wanna bet that this photo was not taken BEFORE he became President, and HAD to pass HIS policies over overwhelming Rat majorities? Reagan went over the heads of the Dems and press and spoke directly to the American people. Tip had to suck up to HIM!

Our country is in such a steep decline its going to take all Americans to get us out of the mess Obama and Bush left us in.

We need to build Keystone, and never go to war to protect Muzlims oil anymore.

We need to Repatriate foreign held assets, the best low cost stimulus we could get.

We need to stop companies leaving America by getting our business taxes down.

We need to lower the trade deficits with China, Japan, Korea and Mexico.

We need to send back to the states many functions the Feds have assumed. We need to slim down the government size, and cut regulations.

We need a dealmaker not a preacher. We need to get things done and fast.

You ignore his core values, which are Democrat values. They're his real instincts. He's not a movement conservative like Reagan. How absurd. Here is Trump in his own words, which for his supporters is unfair, I'm sure.

It seems he has been able to work with Mike Lee, Jeff Sessions, Rand Paul (on occasion) and with several other more conservative Senators. The McConnell, Graham and McCain type Senators are the ones that he thankfully has trouble working with. Obama doesn’t have any trouble working with them though. Apparently Trump will follow in the shoes of Obama.

So the party that hasn’t stood up to Obama once, is now worried that Trump wouldn’t stand up to Democrats.

Now there’s a nothing burger.

What else ya got?

Really? When has Donald triumphed in negotiations with the Congressional fiends? Cruz has triumphed before SCOTUS on several occasions. As executive, they will be forced to deal with HIM.
What in God’s name make you think that Donald is on YOUR side? Did you ever say nice things about Al Sharpton? Trump has!

this is going to be red meat for the anti’s that are principled and self righteously oppose on the surface any thing they perceive as a glimmer of disagreement with their very narrow views

However think don Corleone. He worked very well with those he opposed. He made them offers they dared not refuse.

And perhaps more importantly, to prevail he needs to pick off perhaps 6 or 7 Rats to get stuff passed in the senate.

Trump is not giving the Far Left Democrats any indication they need to change. He will work with them. Happily so.

It’s unreal actually. Freerepublic? Ethanol, Pelosi, Reid, bashing Scalia, multiple brackets of a crap tax plan, price controls, Alinsky campaigning against the Republican field, eminent domain and continued support and probably expansion of federal lands. What’s not to like. It’s extremely sad to see the con man fool Freepers, and even worse to hear their lame and stupid reasons for their support.

Cruz was unsuccessful at leading them to do the right thing.

Donald has far better negotiation skills. He will be able to lead them.

And he'll pick them apart along with what is inside their pockets.
