Trump: When I get to Washington, I’m Going to Become Part of the Establishment...

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.

Not at all. Your post clearly put your desires over your country. You said it yourself. You don’t care. You want what you want regardless of the consequences. Thats a leftist position. Leftist positions are forwarded by leftists.

You are a leftist. I have nothing to be embarrassed about.

Lol, the same Trump bashers who bash him because he’s an autocratic businessman - used to giving orders and watching folks jump - now that he acknowledges that he’ll have to use some different tactics as president, those same bashers whine and squeal because he says he’ll use appropriate tactics to get results for his programs in Washington.

Hey, hypocrites, you can’t have it both ways. Is he an autocratic businessman who can’t succeed as president, or an an individual who can adopt new tactics to get his programs enacted in DC?

Let us not forget that just a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart!

Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t.

The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle.

Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”.

Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates (Cruz excepting of course) and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.

Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb.

Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”.

The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs.

And our nation wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin.

And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice.

President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.

So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.

I think Trump KNOWS exactly how CORRUPT DC is he truly believes he can clean out the cesspool and I am going to give him that chance!!!

I never knew the POTUS had the constitutional prerogative to clean out Congress...

Last time I looked at the constitution, it was the peoples prerogative...

Trump is used to doing "deals" in the business world vetted by lawyers

Congressional "deals" are vetted by bureaucrats...Yeah...that's the ticket..

Trump will have a learning curve on DC corruption after the democrats hookwink him a few times where he gives away the house and gets nothing but empty promises...

The thing that Trump can do that so many of our recent candidates and politicians CAN’T is...sell it. That’s what Reagan did. He could sell the deal. Our current batch of political leaders have no clue how to put together a coherent argument for the American people and that is what puts pressure on politicians to do the right thing.

I am NOT talking about cleaning out Congress, have a LITTLE bit of common sense, I am talking about incompetent government staffers, useless departments, wasted money, stolen money by contractors! I am talking about things like the 40 million dollar gas station in Afghanistan NEVER , EVER to be used by anyone NO ONE knows where the money went!!!!

Pretty broad statement...nothing in there about government staffers, government contractors etc...

I presumed since all funding is Congressional approved, you meant Congress...

Obviously, my error...

‘you are a leftist, you are a leftist, you are a leftist.”

Are you auditioning for the role of “one trick pony?”

Surely after all the years you have lived and the experiences you have had, you must be able to make at least one interesting comment. They again maybe not.
