Mark Levin Lashes Out at Donald Trump: 'Might as Well Vote for Jeb Bush'
The Blaze ^ | January 25, 2016 | Fred Lucas

Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin said that Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump was similar to an establishment Republican compromiser after the real estate mogul pledged earlier to work closely with Democratic leaders in Congress.

"You might as well vote for Jeb Bush," Levin said. "I bet he would get along with Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer. Lindsey Graham gets along with them great. Marco Rubio got along with them great."

In an interview Tuesday on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Trump said, "I've always had a good relationship with Nancy Pelosi. I've never had a problem. Reid will be gone." He added, "I was always very good with Schumer. I was close to Schumer in many ways. It's important that you get along."

While speaking well of House Minority Leader Pelosi of California, the likely next Democratic Senate Leader Schumer of New York and retiring Senate Democratic leader Reid of Nevada, Trump called his Republican primary opponent Texas Sen. Ted Cruz "nasty."

"He just talks up Reid. He just talks up Pelosi. He just talks up Schumer and he trashes the hell out of the most conservative member of the United States Senate," Levin said.

"It's not a matter of getting along with people and cutting deals," Levin said. "It's a matter of moving the country, persuading the country, persuading the Republican party to follow you," Levin continued. "That's what a statesman does. That's what Churchill did. That's what Thatcher did. That's what Reagan did. That's what you have to do, or you might as well vote for Jeb Bush. I bet he would get along with Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer. Lindsey Graham gets along with them great. Marco Rubio got along with them great. For some people this is perfectly fine. I'm troubled by it."

Jan 19, 2016: - Trump pans Cruz's 'temperament'

"..Ted has got a rough temperament, you can't call people liars on the Senate floor when they are your leaders. Not a good thing to do if you want to curry favor and get the positive votes later on own," Trump said.".....

Jan 25, 2016 - Trump: Establishment rallying behind me to stop 'nasty' Cruz

..."Look, at a certain point, we got to make deals," Trump continued. "We can't have a guy who stands in the middle of the Senate floor and every other senator thinks he's a whack job. You have to make deals, you have to get along, that's the purpose of what our founders created, and Ted cannot get along with anybody. He's a nasty person."

There's a legitimate answer to this, but perhaps you're not ready to consider it.

LEVIN: “He just talks up Reid. He just talks up Pelosi. He just talks up Schumer and he trashes the hell out of the most conservative member of the United States Senate,” Levin said.....

************************

Jan 7, 2016 - Chuck Schumer: “...Donald Trump is the only Republican candidate who says don’t cut Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, he’s the only Republican candidate who’s against free trade,” Schumer explained. “He’s the only one who voices clearly this idea that ‘well if very wealthy people aren’t paying their fair share of taxes, they ought to.’”

June 16, 2016: “....Trump defended his donations to New York Democrats in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that April, proclaiming that in the state, “everyone is Democratic” and implying that to donate otherwise would be waste of his money.

“So, what am I going to do, contribute to Republicans? Am I going to contribute to, I mean, one thing I’m not stupid. Am I going to contribute to a Republican for my whole life when they get, they run against some Democrat. And the most they can get is one percent of the vote,” he said, noting his “good relationship” with and donations to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). Trump last donated to Schumer directly in 2010, though he had made donations ranging from $250 to $2,000 since 1996.

“I mean, I’ve contributed to Schumer, I contribute - I’ve known Schumer for many, many years. And I have a good relationship with him. The fact is, that I think it is time maybe that we all do get along,” he told Hannity...

I agree with Levin. The mask is coming off of Donald Trump and underneath his mask Trump is a bigger liberal than even Jeb Bush.

Honestly, If anyone other than Donald THE ONE Trump had said that about working with Pelosi and Schumer then they would have caught Hell from everyone on this forum. But it appears that about half the freepers on this forum will give THE ONE a pass because he has promised to build

THE WALL!

"....That $100,000 gift from Trump to the Boehner-allied super PAC was twice as big as his next-biggest contributions.

[Trump's] given $50,000 .. to Karl Rove's American Crossroads (2010)

[and $50,000 to] the pro-Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) Kentuckians for Strong Leadership (2013)..." FR THREAD

Then Trump gave the pro-Mitch McConnell another 10K Oct 2014.

Trump is the champion chain-puller of all time.

I always get a kick out of Levin when he starts shouting too, he’s funny.
