Trump: 'Everything is negotiable'
cnn.com ^ | March 1, 2016 | Theodore Schleifer and Jeremy Diamond

Posted on 03/01/2016 12:26:20 AM PST by Berlin_Freeper

Donald Trump on Monday did not refute a report claiming he told The New York Times editorial board in an off-the-record meeting that his immigration views are in fact more flexible than he has made them seem throughout his presidential campaign.

"Everything is negotiable," Trump said Monday on Fox News, responding to a question about whether the report, which undermines Trump's hardline stance on immigration, was accurate.

Shh!

Don’t mess with their biases:

“Read art of the deal. It is his main strategy. Usually gets you what you really want but does freak out your opponents. Next four (eight?) are going to be fun and refreshing.”

I believe he will do what's in the BEST interest for ALL AMERICANS and the Country itself.

He didn't in 2010. He donated to some of the very same leftists that are destroying us from within. How did he 'magically' change from 2011 to now? Answer: He didn't. He's just pretending a la Art of the Deal style.

“Funny how all of a sudden the media is for the most part silent regarding Trump. They are just salivating hoping he is our candidate.”

Are you living in a cave without electricity?

The mediots are going nuts just like you with their anti Trump lies like Trump being backed by David Duke!

Oh, for heaven’s sakes. “Everything is negotiable” means he’ll sit down and talk about how to implement his programs, and determine who’s on board.

“Everything is negotiable” - If you stand for nothing.... you will fall for anything. And after you have fallen... you still stand for nothing.

I'm glad you posted this without comment. Because it is so completely slimy. He was interviewing with Hannity and this is where the "everything is negotiable" quote was cut out of:

“They said it’s negotiable on the wall,” Hannity said in reference to Trump’s stance on Mexican immigration and his oft-stated promise to build a border wall.
“By the way it is negotiable. Things are negotiable,” Trump said. “I’ll make the wall 2 feet shorter or something.”

Trump was quick to add that the negotiation does not include nixing the idea altogether.
“Building it? Not negotiable.”

But at least then there were certain principles that were non-negotiable. Apparently Trump doesn't have any of those.

And neither, apparently, do his ever-loyal amateur and professional parsers.

Cruz is a punk and a puke, a total reprobate and a disgrace to his faith.

Except for the part about "disgrace to his faith"...that more aptly describes Trump. Trump's only faith is making deals with the devil, and in that category he excels greatly.

But go on, fall for all of Trump’s lies. He knows you’ll fall for them. As he said in October to Larry King, he couldn’t tell the truth about his real stand on immigration, because “I wouldn’t be doing as well in the polls.”

Right. Trump is playing these people like a fiddle....and the really astonishing part is.... they're letting him. A New York liberal being allowed to snooker so many formerly conservative, rightie, Christian, anti-lefties. It is positively surreal.

> And by what means is president trump going to build a wall anywhere? Or do the checks and balances of our government mean nothing to you and trump. <

Reagan got his tax cuts. When a president has the will of the people (political capital) he can exert great pressure on the opposition to advance his proposals. Obama and the GOP has governed against the will of the people, resulting in what we have now, a rebellion, a movement to take down the ruling class (establishment).

He donated to Cruz too.

In retrospect that was not wise.

Amen Brother!

I obviously do not share those fears, not because I summarily dismiss them, but rather because they cannot be substantiated. I work with the known and not fear. Donald has always exhibited a love for this country, and that reality is what I am placing my support upon. Not some hyped up case to invoke and play upon fear.

Anyway, think long and hard about your well intentioned, but badly misplaced commitment. It is neither conservative not the correct commitment to have. That commitment should be with regards to ensure the best for this country and your family, period.

There is a group of Trump-Haters, just as they are Cruz-Haters.

I am not a Trump Hater, just question his authenticity as he has not always been a Republican nor always held Conservative values.

Your tagline is great! I borrowing it and modifying it a little!
