Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump used a Tuesday appearance on MSNBC to tout the fact that, as president, he would work with Democratic leaders in Congress to get things done.
He specifically talked about House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and asserted he was "close" to Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who is expected to replace outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)
"I've always had a good relationship with Nancy Pelosi. I've never had a problem. Reid will be gone," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Tuesday. He continued:
"I always had a decent relationship with Reid, although lately, obviously, I haven't been dealing with him, so he'll actually use my name as the ultimate -- you know, as the ultimate of the billionaires in terms of, you know, people you don't want. I always had a great relationship with Harry Reid and frankly, if I weren't running for office I would be able to deal with her or Reid or anybody. But I think I'd be able to get along and work very well with Nancy Pelosi and just about everybody."

ON SCHUMER:
Trump went on to speak well of Schumer, saying, “I’ll be able to get along well with Chuck Schumer — I was always very good with Schumer. I was close to Schumer in many ways. It’s important that you get along.”
Since 1996, Trump has contributed more than $10,000 to Schumer’s campaigns for House and Senate, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
The more he speaks, the less I trust him.
Not a winning strategy with which to win over conservatives.
We don’t need a whole lot done. We need to get things undone.
DQ!!
How comforting.
8 years of Obama and now this chump is going to save the republic???
The PT Barnum of the new millennium.
Well, that eliminates him for me.
No one talks to that ignorant sl*t.
Period.
Wealth does not convey intelligence upon anyone.
reaching out to those two, just wow. Trump is a closet Dim.
But what he says is a shadow game..... /sarc
You just don’t get it, do you.
You got it. If “getting things done” means ripping out giant chunks of fedgov and hurling them on the trash heap, then I’m on board.
Go Cruz!
Oh goody!! Can’t wait for a McConnell/Boehner/Ryan clone as president!
Talk about a big tent!
I do get it and that’s why I don’t trust him.
neither do I, enlighten me, if you can.
This great man got along fine with Fox and Cruz and “Been” Carson, and perry and etc until they attacked him. Now they are gone and he is there. He will crush Schumer!!
Please explain it to all of us. He’s a snake and not to be trusted.
He’s lulling them in ..Trump will dominate them . The fact that Trump can pull this off in a primary is astounding ..
OK Trumper Freepers. Let’s see you spin this one.
