When Cruz and Rubio start with the crap about Trump negotiating and making deals with democrats, I would love to hear Donald respond that one cannot stay in business by making deals contrary to one’s goals. You’d go out of business. Deals made by businessmen are different than deals made by politicians. Only a politician can consider just talking an accomplishment and consider themselves successful by giving everything to the other side. In the real world, a businessman has to accomplish something for the good of their company or be fired.

Good point. He seems rather a-political in many ways ... willing to work with whomever he needs to in order to get what he wants. I think if he were president, he'd be above the R and D fighting and be a president of all Americans. I'm tired of having an ultra-political president.

I do not think one can effectively govern by not winning over the other side to one’s opinion. Our republicans have never tried to win over democrats, they just lay down or dig their heels in. If you dig your heels in, I don't see how you can expect to convince anyone — which makes it seem more like show than a sincere desire to achieve a legislative outcome.

If I recall Trump has already explained at the debates why he has donated to both parties, individuals etc. When in business, as you said, you make deals for the success of your company. GO TRUMP!

Well stated. Businessmen need to produce a profit to stay in business.

Politicians make deals using other peoples money, and they have a safe zone of X years where they can’t be voted out ..... None can be fired...
