Trump: When I get to Washington, I’m Going to Become Part of the Establishment...
Redstate ^ | 1/22/16 | Leon H. Wolf

I am not making this up or exaggerating what Donald Trump said. These are his words and you can see the video for yourself. Via the Blaze, Trump literally says that when he gets to Washington he's going to become an establishment politician so that he can get some really great, super huge, classy deals done.

Here he is speaking in Las Vegas last night.

***snip***

Trump: And you know what, there's a point at which, let's get to be a little bit establishment, because we gotta get things done, folks, okay? Believe me, don't worry, we're gonna get such great deals, but at a certain point, you can't be so strident, you can't not get along, we gotta get along with people. You know in the old days, Ronald Reagan, and I remember it so vividly, I was a young guy, I helped Ronald Reagan, I really liked him... so what happens, Ronald Reagan would get along with (Democrat) Tip O'Neill, and they'd sit down, and they'd make great deals for everybody. That's what the country's about, isn't it? I mean, we can all be tough but at some point we gotta get our country back on track.

Donald Trump right now is actively taunting his supporters to see if there is literally anything he can say that will make them stop supporting him. He really is. He's trying to see if there's any 180 degree turn he can pull off that's so completely different from what he was saying even a couple days ago that you'll turn around and say, "holy cow, this guy is no different from the rest of them, and in fact maybe he's a bit worse."

You've all been had, and Trump is daring you to notice.

So funny. Is this the fifth, or sixth Leon Wolf bash-Trump article this hour?

I don’t care if he calls himself establishment or Whig. Get it? When he builds the wall and gets control of immigration and stops the Muslim invasion, I DON’T CARE about the rest.

We can talk at that point. Then you can wheel out your GOPe candidate of the month. In the meantime the rest of us are going to save the republic while you and ol’ Leon write more anti-Trump articles.

Nope. They are fully emotionally invested. They will never lose face over admitting a mistake. Just like the Romneybots. Same people for the most part. They would rather America burn than elect the hated conservative Ted Cruz.

Wait... Trump “really liked Reagan?” So is he lying now or was he lying in 1987?


Advised by the notorious Roger Stone, a Nixon-era GOP trickster, in 1987 Trump took out full-page ads in the New York Times, the Boston Globe and the Washington Post blasting Reagan and his team.

There’s already plenty of evidence. Video evidence, written words, contribution dollars... the man six years ago said he’d have no problem if Obama nationalized the banks, for crying out loud. There’s as much evidence that Trump is a fraud as there was of Obama being an anti-American Marxist sociopath eight years ago.

Doesn’t matter. The cult of personality looks like other way. Ugly truths simply aren’t processed anymore.

I don’t care if he’s a liar, he’s going to build a YUGE wall!

He wouldn’t lie about that...

With a majority in both houses of Congress Trump’s deals should pretty much go his way. :-)

You're assuming that the great Donald is actually going to follow through on this point. Based on the Donald history, no sane person would make that bet.

A more sane bet is to look at another candidate who also says he's going to build that wall. Yes. There is one.

An unprincipled NY LIEberal is not going to do squat about a wall or purge the Muslims.

I don’t think Trump truly understands how utterly and completely corrupt DC is....

I can see Trump will have a huge learning curve understanding how to deal with congress and not be used like a rented mule...

But if Trump is part of it, it will be a GREAT establishment.

You see, up until now, the only problem with the establishment was not its liberal big government anti Liberty policies, it has been Trump was not part of it.

Once he joins, It will be GREAT!!! ( lots of great deals coming our way too! )
