"I've always had a good relationship with Nancy Pelosi. I've never had a problem," Mr. Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "[Harry] Reid's going to be gone. I always had a decent relationship with Reid, although lately obviously I haven't been dealing with him, so he'll use my name as the ultimate ... of the billionaires in terms of people you don't want."
"But I've always had a great relationship with Harry Reid," Mr. Trump said. "Frankly, if I weren't running for office, I'd be able to deal with [Pelosi], I'd be able to deal with Reid -- I'd be able to deal with anybody."
"But I think I'd be able to get along very well with Nancy Pelosi and just about everybody," he said. "Hey look, I think I'll be able to get along well with Schumer, Chuck Schumer. I was always very good with Schumer. I was close to Schumer in many ways."

Trump is trying to say he does not harbor personal animosity toward those who differ in philosophy and aims. But then, Trump has a way of expressing himself in terms of animosity, in the first place. So . . . it’s a wash.
Trump should arrest both of them.
"But I think I'd be able to get along very well with Nancy Pelosi and just about everybody," he said. "Hey look, I think I'll be able to get along well with Schumer, Chuck Schumer. I was always very good with Schumer. I was close to Schumer in many ways."It's not true.
I don't even know what most of his goals are - do you?
I know, I know, the "wall." And immigration.
Do you really think crippling trade practices are going to grow the economy? Jacksonian-Democrats-turned-Republicans should at least study their own history and find out about ensuing depressions after trade sanctions.
Did Trump say he would repeal Obamacare in favor of free-market principles?
Has he spoken out about big government being a problem?
Has he even bothered to say taxes are too high?
Just three years ago Trump called Mitt Romney "too harsh" on immigrants. He evolves faster than a peppered moth.
When McLame and the DUmocrats are leading the charge, its a good bet that it is politically motivated.
And Cruz has good relationships with...
pretty much nobody
even after flip flopping on immigration and H1 B Visas.
I remember those days. And that picture.
When accountability was demanded. When even the smallest foot fault was immediately pounced on. When questionable associations were relentlessly condemned.
What is going on around here?
He sure looks like the 3rd democrat in the race I don’t trust him.
HELLO!!! That outfit does not need to be in the majority to have their way with Ryan and McConnell.
OMG 20 people who work at Credit Suisse Group are Cruz supporters.
I better pull my backing now.
Maybe.
Time will tell.
Cruz plays for Them. I really don’t think that any election is going to reverse the direction of merica.
Hedge fund manager super donor and married to an investment banker.
No trends to see there, move along.
Crony capitalism at its best, all the while decrying it in others.
Just like so many other things with Rafael.
Deeds not words.
From Reagan and Bush, the elder, on it's slowly gotten harder for the viewing audience to know what is real, make believe and pure illusion.
You're right about the "Before Trump" picture, too. Utterly predictable and boring. The conservative ride is over. Vote all you want to, donate all you want to, nothing is going to change.
Then, BOOM! Trump shows up and he's like the cannon shot that trigger's the avalanche.
We can debate about which side of Scripture Trump might be coming from and why, but what he's actually done since showing up has answered more than a few prayers...and all Trump did was open his mouth!
Cruz, the acknowledged master debater/Supreme Court arguer extraordinaire, has been talking and talking non-stop since being elected as a Senator and he can't claim anything like that.
Whatever Trump may be, I am grateful for what he's done so far.
If that's his sales pitch/demo, it's very compelling!
Lol, that’s rich! Coming from someone who supports the candidate whose deeds are opposite of his words...especially on the corruption issue with paying off politicians through bribes and kickbacks. Yeah, hang your hat on that.
Noooo! Not a whole ninety-six thousand dollars! My goodness!
$100,000 from the worst crony capitalist company on the planet. Nice to see Senator Principled Conservative (TM) supporters are as “principled” as he is.

The sad thing is that he thinks this is an asset.
Here is what Reagan said about their "working relationship":
"Until 6:00, I was the enemy and he (Tip) never let me forget it."
Absolutely, Coolidge may have been the only small government conservative we’ve ever really had.
This is definitely anti-Establishment.
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.........
as told to you by Donald Trump
