Trump Hits Cruz: We Want To Make Deals, Not Sign Executive Orders
RCP ^ | January 21, 2016

Posted on 01/22/2016 10:30:52 AM PST by Red Steel

Donald Trump said electing Senator Ted Cruz would mean no deals and more executive orders at a campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada this afternoon.

"He looks like a nervous wreck," Trump said of Cruz. "He's going down. He had his moment. He had his moment and he blew it."

DONALD TRUMP: ... here's a Senator, and by the way, if it weren't for Sarah Palin, he would not be a Senator. He was at 2% and then she came along and then he did fine. Honestly, Sarah brought him over the line.

Deals with who? That’s all we’ve had for six years is deals.

Bingo, although Cruz will be one of the good guys, I feel he’ll end up being the other side of the coin from Obama.

We do not need another Executive order Presidency that Cruz would bring to washington.

We don’t want rule by executive order and neither does Trump.

We won’t a political where our elected officials are engaged, not bought by foriegn countries, and working in our best interest.

We need to ban foreign stock ownership by congressmen, or at least limit it to a small portion of their portfolio,.

Again Trump is wrong. Ted Cruz, being the guy who is all about the Constitution, I’m quite sure he’s going to be following the proper channels to get things done. And if he does sign an Executive Order, which he has every right to do, I’m quite confident, it’ll be a constitutional one, unlike the many UNconstitutional ones Obama has signed.

The whole idea of “making deals” is exactly why we’re so screwed now....it’s all those backroom deals that have been done, behind closed doors, in the secret of the night, after the Friday document dump, etc that Obama and his pals have done, that have grown government and usurped the Constitution in so many places.

We DO NOT NEED another deal maker! Hell NO!

Trump might even make a deal to get the votes in the Senate
to put Cruz on the Supreme Court. I’m sure you deal haters would
love that deal.

Do “deals” to significantly decrease the US Federal budget down from a high of $3.8 trillion dollars. These type of “deals” we need to do.

Oh, I bet Trump will come out on top.

But what about those he will representing as President? They could very well come out like those he represented in the four bankruptcies (what Trump supporters call “restructuring”).

Deals? How about restoring the Constitution?
Anyone including tyrants can make deals; Putin and Iran make “deals”.

“Deals are fine as long as you come out on top. You think Trump wont? :-)”

That’s what some people are afraid of - since he advocates what he admittedly are anti-conservative, big government ‘solutions’ to problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRQgAEqLUmQ&index=2&list=PLJcbhHQDR9da0H3-Qs-7WEEj6tam9vlh3

Why would we want to support that? Quit giving generic answers. This is a legitimate concern and just pretending it doesn’t exist doesn’t make it go away.

Trump:” We've got to make deals. We don't want to sign executive orders. We want to make deals. We want to make the right deals.”

Deals?? We can just imagine his deals with Reid and Pelosi.

This is the same Trump who promised to impose a death penalty with one of his first executive orders.

He will say anything that he thinks that some sucker will think sounds good, even if it contradicts what he said yesterday.

>> Deals with who?

Trump will deal: Ten million wetbacks stay in the US, in exchange for a Trump Plaza in Mejico City.

Whereas Cruz will sign an executive order repealing all of Obola’s executive orders. And another executive order underscoring the current immigration law, outlawing sanctuary cities, and clarifying US support for border security and deportations.

I know who I trust, and it ain’t Mr. “Lets make a deal”.

I doubt he even remembers what he said yesterday.

Because winning! That’s all that matters.

Bend over, America. Here Comes Donald

Problem is those proper channels means congress.

How will Ted get anything through the senate, or a majority of the house for that matter?

Dealing to reduce the gargantuan federal budget and reducing goooberment regulations is good deal making. ;-)

Would you support a deal that put Cruz on the Supreme Court?

It is a simple yes or no question.
