Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin said that Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump was similar to an establishment Republican compromiser after the real estate mogul pledged earlier to work closely with Democratic leaders in Congress.
"You might as well vote for Jeb Bush," Levin said. "I bet he would get along with Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer. Lindsey Graham gets along with them great. Marco Rubio got along with them great."
In an interview Tuesday on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Trump said, "I've always had a good relationship with Nancy Pelosi. I've never had a problem. Reid will be gone." He added, "I was always very good with Schumer. I was close to Schumer in many ways. It's important that you get along."
While speaking well of House Minority Leader Pelosi of California, the likely next Democratic Senate Leader Schumer of New York and retiring Senate Democratic leader Reid of Nevada, Trump called his Republican primary opponent Texas Sen. Ted Cruz "nasty."
"He just talks up Reid. He just talks up Pelosi. He just talks up Schumer and he trashes the hell out of the most conservative member of the United States Senate," Levin said.
"It's not a matter of getting along with people and cutting deals," Levin said. "It's a matter of moving the country, persuading the country, persuading the Republican party to follow you," Levin continued. "That's what a statesman does. That's what Churchill did. That's what Thatcher did. That's what Reagan did. That's what you have to do, or you might as well vote for Jeb Bush. I bet he would get along with Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer. Lindsey Graham gets along with them great. Marco Rubio got along with them great. For some people this is perfectly fine. I'm troubled by it."
Trump’s Howard Dean moment. Hope Trump keeps talking nicely about Pelosi and Schumer during the primaries :))
Thanks for taking the time for a well written commentary. This piece by the Conservative Treehouse echoes your well thought out points:
Levin is motivated by money. You’ve figured this out. And You’re under the impression that Trump is an altruist?
And the funny thing is, he’s doing better with those groups than the other candidates, and yet he’s not pandering to them like Jeb, and all the other establishment RINO’s have been insisting on.

Then Trump gave the pro-Mitch McConnell another 10K Oct 2014.>>>
my forced contribution to the democrat party via property taxes is $3600 dollars so what
The Donald is pulling away the curtain to the deceivers who talk the talk but work behind the scenes to do the opposite. He knows the game because he has dealt with the enemies of America in order to make a successful business empire. They are the gatekeepers who will run capitalists through the Catch 22 machine if they do not toe their liberal line. They are corrupt to the core and will sell their mother and The Donald knows them and how they sell America down the river.
I am sick and tired of comments like yours and similar comments. Obviously, you have never owned a huge company and have never had to deal with the public on the scale that Trump has. And, you have no clue to the history of Ronald Reagan, this century’s best President. Trump will be this century’s next best President.
However on Trump primary concerns, border security and illegal immigrates Trump does not need the Congress. He can secure the border and deport illegals on his own authority. He can send the refugees home on his own authority and he can stop Muslim immigration on his own authority. Which is why I am still on the Trump train.
Then you can hear the second guy cheering for Megyn Kelly by claiming a hit piece is journalism. The girl that had nothing of interest to say. Why do you subjugate yourself to that?
Telling someone who posts an article you don’t like to “STFU” is not very polite or articulate. Freepers don’t win arguments by trying to silence their opposition like a little kid who thinks they can win a debate by sticking their fingers in their ears and yelling niener, niener, niener.
Knock off the personal attacks and language towards Cincinatus’ Wife.
Trump is on CNN almost every day.
Of course Giuliani would endorse Trump. They share the same big government republicanism with no use for social conservatives.
The girl that had nothing of interest to say.
That "girl" is Katrina Pierson, Trump's spokeswoman.
Oh Please, Trump just talked about how great he gets along with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. Trump is running to the left so fast at the moment that if he kept it up at the same pace, and somehow still managed to win the nomination, then by the time November rolls around he would be attacking Bernie Sanders from the left.
bttt!
“... and has blinded 50% of the people on this forum.”
You, really should take some credit, for the unblinded 50%.
Yes, in post after post, on this forum- the underwhelming expressed sentiment is about- the Wall.
Perhaps, you’ll be able to climb it one day.
Trump is the only shot anybody has at a president who isn't owned by Wall St. fat-cats. The rest, both parties, are totally owned as Bill Bennett notes and, in my view, one more Wall St. owned presidency would finish the country.
