'But I've always had a great relationship with Harry Reid," Mr. Trump said. "Frankly, if I weren't running for office, I'd be able to deal with [Pelosi], I'd be able to deal with Reid - I'd be able to deal with anybody.'
'But I think Id be able to get along very well with Nancy Pelosi and just about everybody,' he said. 'Hey look, I think I'll be able to get along well with Schumer, Chuck Schumer. I was always very good with Schumer. I was close to Schumer in many ways.'
No doubt. Even before Bernie Sanders.
And people think Trump will wipe the floor with the Dims if he is elected?
I think not.
They think Trump hurts the Republican ‘brand.’
That’s what the consultants are telling them.
Can anyone imagine Cruz saying he could deal with Schumer, Reid and Pelosi?
Trump is total wolf in sheep’s clothing for the conservative movement. This is a New York Values liberal down to his bones. You can take the politician out of New York but you can’t take the New York values out of the politician.
When Harry Reid likes someone......everyone that’s a true Conservative...should run like the wind in the opposite direction.
yes, we know
Don’t throw me in the briar patch.
They are looking around and just short of Obama hanging around for another few years, they may be concluding that Trump might be their only option.
They want deals.
this is kinda like us pulling for Bernie. Those on our side, the pollsters, the consultants believe he’s easier to beat
Democrats have their own establishment class who think Trump is easier to beat like GOPe
Well that sells me. If Harry says Trump is the guy, that’s all I need to know. BTW Freepers: Could you tell me the best knife to cut my carotid artery?
Yeah, kinda figured Harry wouldn’t be “pulling for” that “nasty guy” Ted Cruz.
Reverse psychology. Trump is the one the Dems fear most.
Of course he is. Trump’s helped keep him in office and is more than willing to work with Reid. They’ll be strong allies.
The sharis have a good view of the bottom of Trumps water skis.
Sure
Why is this surprising? Most of America is pulling for Trump.
Duh? I honestly don’t know any democrats who aren’t voting for trump. Even hardcore feminazis. I don’t know any Constitutinalists voting for him either. Remember 2000 elections when he was a fan of single payor.. For some reason, only 1 in 50 ish people I talk to don’t remember either. These are limited numbers of people mind you.
Good, Reagan was forced to compromise with Democrat leaders the whole time he was in office - it looks like Trump will be too as there is a good chance that Dems will take the Senate, or at least easily filibuster whatever they want.
Given that, I’d prefer someone that knows how to NEGOTIATE AND WIN, to someone that will simply give up and walk away.
