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?
Trump is a master manipulator, that’s it.
The Republican Party. We own it .

Yes wendle, Trump’s got you stump broke, we all know that.
