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.

You said...
“If you question what Trump did or said, you are attacking him. You have TDS. You are a Troll. When Trumpers question Cruz, they are merely pointing out weaknesses he would have in the General or trying to get an issue resolved. When presented with a notebook full of past problematic Trump statements they pull out postcard full of Cruz sins.”

I actually had a Freeper tell me that what Trump said about issues in the past or donations he made and to who didn’t matter it’s what he’s saying now is what counts

What's all the "Conservative" conserved ?

Not a damn thing, not even the definition of marriage that has been the same throughout all of recorded history.

To most people who claim to be Conservative it really means, "go along to get along" with a big chunk of "I got mine, screw you" thrown in.

lol - I thought that looked rather odd as well. I believe she is clutching a black purse, which is difficult to see because of her black dress.

Well, just reading this thread, someone being exposed to conservatism for the first time might look at a few takeaways:

1) establishment good

2) Trump's comments about healthcare, taxes, governmentt subsidies, Pelosi, Obama, the Clintons, abortion, and doing his daughter, are normal conservaty things we can overlook.

3) if you bring up Cruz's history of calling out Republican leadership or mention that he was called an ass by GWB, it's merely because he's doing the Bushies bidding. (Or because he's owned by Goldman Sachs. Never mind Trump has taken loans from Goldman Sachs and of the two men, only one has failed to pay back creditors)

We are going to have to negotiate better deals and that means we have to be realistic.

What happened to all of the "true conservatives" who stayed home rather than vote for Romney or McCain?

I’m a bit concerned about the Senate myself. Rubio is leaving next year. Fla could go either way on that vacant seat.

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!!! He will NOT be beholden to ANYONE and that is a HUGE start!!!!

I didn’t hear it the way Redstate did. When he says we have to get a “little establishment” I take it to mean you have to work within the framework and way things are done otherwise you’re hitting a brick wall.

I don’t see this as newsworthy at all.

They would rather America burn than elect the hated conservative Ted Cruz.

Now that, would make an excellent tagline!

Frustrating was ten years ago. This is just depressing as hell now.

Norm, who do you call anyone who disagrees with you a leftist? Don’t have anything interesting or articulate to say? Are ad hominem attacks your only means of expression.

I’ve taken some of Trumps stupid beliefs in stride like emminent domain and tariffs (killed us in the 1920’s) but pandering for Ethanol?

I’m done. Cruz or lose.

Do I have to translate Trump-speak? All Trump is saying, that now he is an outsider, once elected he will be part of the “establishment” Aren’t all outsiders, once they gain entry, part of the “Club”?

Calling someone a leftist is still an ad hominem attack. Don’t you have anything interesting to say, or at least something to add to the conversation without further embarrassing yourself?
