Trump to huddle with influential Republicans in D.C.

Confab ahead of AIPAC speech meant to improve relationship with congressional GOP.

Donald Trump will host a group of nearly two dozen influential Republicans on Monday afternoon for an off-the-record gathering that his allies hope will improve his relationship with the congressional GOP and the party’s Washington establishment, according to two attendees.

The meeting is Trump’s first major meeting with lawmakers and key Republican figures since last fall, when he met with a smaller group at the Capitol after his speech at a protest against the Iranian nuclear agreement.

Several members of the House and Senate are expected to participate, plus a bevy of consultants and veteran power brokers, the attendees said, requesting anonymity to discuss the session.

Trump isn't an "insider". Cruz has ALWAYS been one; starting when he worked on W's campaigns!

Oh Geez. Shall I post all the quotes of GW criticizing Cruz and Cruz criticizing GW?

[nopardons]

Kabuki dance!

Whilst that all went on, Cruz was helping George P. win a low level elected position in Texas, to begin his climb up the political ladder.

W was POed at Cruz, because, as usual, Teddy was an arrogant POS and wanted a high level position with W, when he was president.

That still doesn't mean that Cruz ever was an "outsider" !

[nopardons]

Nope............EVERYONE in the Senate doesn't care for Cruz.

Left/right, everyone was blaming Trump for something he wasn't responsible for.

[TomasUSMC]

More like the Art of Unconditional Surrender.

Trump will tell them that the unprecedented increases in turnout of 300 and 400 percent ensure he will bring a tidal wave to D.C., they can either ride the wave or be destroyed by it.

[nopardons]

You misquoted Trump....he NEVER claimed that his supporters would riot.

He said that IF, nefariously, he was denied the nomination, there could be riots. That's very different from what you had claimed.

[wiseprince]

Keep your Guard up Donald. These people are snakes and they’ll be recording everything you say

Right...we believe you. Perhaps the ‘RATS will riot out of anger at losing the opportunity to have Him (Praise His name) as their opponent in the general election?

[Windflier]

Let us PRAISE HIM!

Who? Ted?

I don't believe in that Dominionist malarkey.

[right way right]

I sometimes wonder if the whole GOPe is being set up by both Trump and Cruz.

[GLDNGUN]

Are you Cruzers (whoever of you this applies to) really going to pretend that Trump's meeting with these GOP officials is no different than what Cruz has done? Either (A) you lack basic skills of discernment or (B) you KNOW it's vastly different but want to hope that you can paint them as the same color and hope nobody else has basic skills of discernment. Either way, you make yourselves look pretty sad and pathetic.

One person (Cruz) is meeting and working with the GOP-e for the SOLE purpose of destroying the GOP frontrunner and likely nominee. I will repeat that. Cruz is meeting and working with the GOP-e for the SOLE purpose of destroying the GOP frontrunner and likely nominee.

While it may benefit Ted Cruz (he thinks), it does not benefit the republican party, the voters or ultimately the country.

Is Donald Trump having conversations and meetings with GOP officials and office holders for the sole purpose of destroying one of their own?

No. Not even close.

Trump is meeting with them for the sole purpose of unifying the party for the general election to BEAT THE DEMOCRATS (remember when Republicans actually liked doing that sort of thing?) and for governing when he is President.

This benefits the party and ultimately the country.

See the difference between the two, kids?

Ted Cruz is pretty sad and pathetic himself, playing the game he is with Romney, Graham, and the Bushes. They can't stand him, yet they are willing to cozy up to him to use him as a weapon against Trump. Is it because they want to see Cruz became President? HA! What a joke! They just want to use him as an ends to a mean - keeping Trump from getting the nomination. The very second they accomplish that goal, they will throw him away like last week's garbage.

Look at Mitt Romney. He flies off to Ohio and campaigns with his "buddy" Kasich. "Oh, what a great guy Kasich is! Why he would make an excellent President! Vote for Kasich!" Kasich wins Ohio. Mittsion Accomplished. Time to drop Kasich like hot potato. Now Romney tells everyone to vote for Cruz in Utah. Kasich is ticked because he thought Mitt really meant it. LOL Now, he feels like a used tramp the morning after.

Now, they are simply trying to use Cruz in the same exact way. They don't want Kasich. They don't want Cruz. They want to pick for YOU. For US. Whether it be Jeb or Mitt or Ryan or whoever, they know what is better for you than you do. They are using Ted Cruz to that end. And Ted Cruz can't get enough of it. When they kick him to the curb the moment they no longer need him and they prop up whoever it is they really want, will poor Ted play the part of the jilted lover like Kasich has? Will he pretend to be flabbergasted at their double-cross?

WILL YOU?

Either Ted Cruz is too stupid to realize it, OR he knows exactly what they are doing and he doesn't care. Either he is dumb as a rock and blind as a bat OR he has such a lust for power that he is a willing partner in the attempted political assassination of the GOP front runner and likely nominee on the outside chance that it might benefit HIM in some way.

Can you think of anything more selfish?

One final question for you Cruzers. IF Ted Cruz were the leading nominee at this point, do you think the GOP-e would be colluding with Trump to knock Cruz off the perch? Do you think Trump would allow himself to be used in such a way?

The answers are NO and HELL NO.

[House Atreides]

Oh, NOW I see!

Trump = Angelic, altruistic, benevolent, font of ALL that is good and pure

Cruz = Demonic, self-centered, self-serving, malevolent monster conspiring to destroy the savior of civilization and spread never-ending evil upon our land

Why the hell didn’t you make that clear to we doubting Thomases before?

[GLDNGUN]

Thanks for demonstrating you are unable to make a coherent point.

[BigBobber]

LOL! When Cruz does it it’s called “selling out”. When Trump does it they call it “outreach”.

[catbertz]

I support Donald, and I will vote for him. I can only pray that there is a true drive within him to restore our country the right way. I think he will require some latitude to achieve that goal, but those bastards in D.C. will try to corrupt his agenda constantly. God speed Mr Trump.

[InterceptPoint]

Trump wins and they don’t own him. That’s how this works.

In your dreams maybe. But not in real life. There will be deals. Just like there is now.

[Ann Archy]

Good sign!! He WILL have to work WITH them, unlike Obama who rules OVER them.

[N. Theknow]

The Untouchables dinner scene with the baseball bat immediately comes to mind.

[ronnie raygun]

Make friends with those who are on your side and get rid of the parasites we know are against you

[trebb]

The Art of the Deal?

Probably - and no doubt softening them up, for when they have to deal with him, by showing them that he is competent and capable.

Levin’s FB post regarding this...

“And so it begins ...”

Whatever that means.
