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?
Scroll up a few fisherman/woman. ;-) I love insightful people. ;-)
WHAT? Is he claiming to be RICH? Who knew?
You are so conditioned by pansy Republican leaders that you can’t imagine winning at politics.
The Republican congress never gave Obama a dollar more than he asked for.
When you read your replies remember they drank the koolaid. DT is the one and only perfect - they defend everything about him. They have thrown away all logic, the ability to look at his past history or present actions with clear judgement and for what? A progressive who will work with the liberals and proudly says so.
Awesome! Assuming they have a mutually GREAT relationship, I think Ms. Pelosi will endorse him as the Republican nominee.
Negotiate = Schlonged
Trump isn’t smart enough to hide the con except from people that want to be conned.
Be a chump with Trump.
We have RINO on the left and RINO on the right.
If you actually think Donald "THE ONE" Trump can use his magic powers of persuasion to convince Nancy Pelosi to go along with repealing Obamacare, then you are living in fantasyland.
why do trump supporters think we will not back Trump in the generals?
it’s not true. at least not for me.
Cruz isn’t a bad man. Sessions is well respected here. He endorsed him.
Soon it will all be over and we can get behind Trump
(I’m not stupid. he’s up 25 points)
to get what he wants.
There’s nobody I would rather have negotiating for me.

I am not sure I want results. I’m always getting screwed.
I want the guy who negotiated Giancarlo Stanton's contract with the Miami Marlins.
Trump gave campaign money to Chuck Schumer and the Democrat Senatorial Committee. Why would he do that unless he thought there might be something in it for him. He cowers to democrats and tries to play both sides of the fence. Not too strong on the conservative principles I’d say.
Stunning, isn’t it ?
LOL!
