Trump: “Let’s get to be a little establishment. We’ve got to get things done folks, OK?”

I can see the "buyers remorse" from here.

And look forward to the "I Told You So's" sure to follow in the next 4 years...

“You’ll see a lot of debate on whether Trump is a true conservative or not. That is argument by definition. It is the linguistic equivalent of throwing your gun at a monster because the clip is empty.”

**We can work on rehabilitation after.**

Cruz has my vote in the primary, with Trump getting my vote if he makes it to the general.

I’m worried at what he’s saying here and would like to believe you have the missing piece, the unsaid part.

The reality is, I’ve heard the we’ll-work-on-it-after-we’ve-won scenario too many times to count.

And when it’s over and done, we’re always the ones getting clobbered with rehabilitation.

I remember 1932 Germany.

Oh put a sock in it.

Trump is going to destroy the GOPe and overhaul Washington DC by going a little establishment.

I'm sure his sister will make a fine Supreme Court Justice.

This kind’ve throws the “He’s not a politician” meme out of kilter.

Is Trump a McConnell-Rove Establishment Tool?

the answer is yes.

I can give you 3 reason why, that happened just this week.

1) He supports the Ethanol subsidies, thereby supporting big government.

2) Cruz called out McConnell for lying, which McConnell did.
Trump sided with McConnell, saying he had to make deals with Congress, just like the Establishment wants him to do.

3) He said “Cruz would be worse than Hillary”, proving that he thinks higher of Bengazi-email-scandal-ridden-big-government Hillary Clinton than he does Ted Cruz.

Trump is becoming a louder version of Lindsay Graham-John McCain right before our very eyes.

It only took a week.

I am afraid this is the biggest rope-a-dope scheme I have every seen. I always thought conservatives thought with their brains not emotions....not this election.

There are lot a knobs that a president can turn that have the same effect as money, including the bureaucratic (or executive order )control of land rights, import-export policy, etc.

A classic example is the Obamunist's use of EPA pollution guidelines to drive down the value of coal mine property, thus allowing bundlers such as George Soros to come in and buy up the properties, and/or mining rights at intentionally suppressed prices.

If a petulant man-child , such as as Hussein Obama, can learn how to do this, I'm sure that Trump, or any other expericienced businessman can do the same.

We could use a few Larry McDonald’s these days, he was a rock solid conservative that could have kept this country from going off the cliff. Ted Cruz has to swim upstream against the current every single day of his life with little help from the so called conservatives that squander what little freedoms we have left.

[GOPJ]

If any of us were stupid enough to want a “ comprehensive immigration deal” we would have voted for Lindsey Ghaham or Jeb Bush...

Why on Earth would Trump want to imitate the total losers of this race?

[Dick Bachert]

Not too many McDonalds out there these days. Mostly QUIZLINGS!!

[kjam22]

You’re right

[Aquamarine]

I always thought it was the Russians that took him out because of his anti communist stance at the time. Was it worse than I thought?

[don-o]

As you might remember, days ago I was still defending Trump. Most of my posts have been sympathetic to Trump over Cruz. Not anymore.

Welcome to the real world.

“Imagine waking up two years from now with President Trump reverted to his true, liberal self, and realizing that we had a chance to put a real anti-GOPe president into office, but didn't. “

And conservatives who don't support it when he compromises principals away; will be the enemy.

We have heard this song before by Romney and his friends; just a different singer this time.

Trump is the battlefield surgeon.

List worthy?

One thing about the whole "Art of the Deal" aspect of a Trump candidacy - Trump supporters seem to think he will be able to deal with Congress the way he deals with businesses.

They also don't realized that he is negotiating with them--his voters--and he intends to be on the upside of the "deal".
