Trump has been boasting of late about how great his relationship with Nancy Pelosi is. Apparently, he still thinks she's "the best," as he wrote in his fawning love letter to her in 2007, when Pelosi took over the House and set about sabotaging the U.S. economy.
Maybe some FReepers are (to my surprise) of the notion that if you have to have to negotiate with liberals, so be it. But why does Trump think he will have to? After all, the Republicans hold a solid majority of the House of Representatives, and there's no hint of a tide turning towards the Democrats in the local level.
And how exactly does he expect to win her -- and Chucky Schumer -- over? He's aped Cruz's promise to repeal Obamacare; he's aped Cruz' promise to rescind Obama's executive-order amnesty.
Given that budget-cutting bills only need 50 votes to pass in the senate, and any bill only needs 50% to pass in the House, surely his safer bet would be trying to keep conservatives happy. So what makes him think he'll need radical leftists to join him? Why does he think radical leftists are more likely to vote for his plans than conservatives?
If he's so confident that Pelosi, Schumer and the open-borders lobby will love his plan, why should conservatives be so confident in him? Are we really winning to sell off our country just for the tingle of glee shooting up our leg that Trump is being politically incorrect?
Well all that’s left is for Trump to buy the world a Coke and sing in harmony.
why, i did spell check. Dont tell me i spelled something wrong!!
that’s all i need!!
like i said, i should love the guy, fellow NYC resident.
i’m just always looking for the angle or the con.
Why did Slick Willie team up with Republicans in Congress to pass NAFTA?
Why did Obama team up with Republicans in Congress to pass TPA, and the same would be the case with TPP.
If President Trump begins to turn back some of the one-sided trade deals and oppose any new one-sided trade deals, it will probably be almost the reverse of the above two cases.
It's Republicans who are most responsible for all the bad trades deals and equally responsible for open borders and little immigration law enforcement.
Lose with Cruz.
he seems to get quite the pass on a number of things.
i sure hope the the times he was telling the truth were the times he was talking conservative.
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

HOPE!
Have another cup of Brawndo and chill wendle.
i’m not a trump guy, but maybe you’ve never played poker which is mostly about “negotiation.” in poker, you “negotiate” to win or lose less when there is no winning option. i think any politician, including pelosi, can be had. it remains to be seen if that’s what trump has in mind.
negotiate....Is this another word for surrender? Or a rare species of victory in which the dems get everything and the conservatives get it in the ass again.
maybe.
then i’ll vote for trump in the generals.
you dont just stop supporting someone because they’re most likely not gonna win.
Reduced to trite slogans, eh?
I know its painful. I hope you join us on election day but if you don’t— it doesn’t matter at all.
I think Donald should offer to connect her labia to her toes, that way she will be able to swim with Dolphins. I am not sure the smell will scare off fish, but it is more than likely. Don’t tell her. #114 Art of the Deal. (he is playing them all and you don’t see it)
By negotiating Trump means he will them around by their nose rings just like he does the press. They will do what Trumps wants - that’s what leaders do. We haven’t seen that kind of negotiating or leadership for so long we don’t remember what it looks like.
He was specifically asked about democrat leaders.
Getting along doesn’t mean caving.
The republicans in congress cave to democrats every time. Cruz is right there in the middle of it.
They fully funded planned parenthood, obamacare and the relocation of Syrian refugees to US soil.
Frankly, it can’t get any worse.
Will it have a GRAND GATE with the TRUMP name on it?
Just curious if anyone knows.
Maybe because she might be in a position to give him something he wants, and the way normal sentinent beings conduct business is through negotiation.
And historically, the party in control of the WH loses votes in the midterm election which would be in 2 years, so it’s not inconceivable that President Trump may need to work with Speaker Pelosi in the future.
But you know this, and just felt the need to post a pointless vanity.
