Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump says he will seek to get along with House Speaker Paul Ryan and other party leaders for the general election, Ed Klein writes in a blog post to be published Tuesday.
"I first thought I might be better off without Ryan and the support of the party," Klein quotes Trump. "I've done great as a rebel up to now with fantastic crowds everywhere, and for a time I was going to play the meeting in Washington as a rebel."
But Trump told Klein that while being a rebel in the primary season is fine, the general election is different.
"So I've decided that getting along is better," he said. "I think it will play well in Washington."

Trump knows what he’s doing.
Yep ...rope a dope ...
Yep....He knows EXACTLY what he’s doing....
In the meantime, he sure exposed the party for the hold they have over the American people.....
I think he’s right. Donald will go farther with more GOP support. He doesn’t have to sell out all that makes him Donald, but some compromise on demeanor is appropriate.
Some degree of being a Team Player is essential to open support.
This may be due to a civilizing influence from Paul Manafort or Chris Christie. Trump may not have paid much heed to Lewandowski, even though Donald thought well of him personally. Lewandowski looked and (impulsively) acted as though he were one of Trumps adult sons.
Stupid, if sincere.
BRILLIANT, if simply a feint to get them off-balance for some additional pummeling, later.
REBEL HAS WORKED, REBEL *WILL* WORK.
Knocking off Ryan would play better.
Except for immigration enforcement there’s not much violently disputed between him and the GOPe. Most of their differences can be glossed over.
Perhaps he can do fund-raisers for RINO candidates that will suffer from the loss of their Open Borders donors.
I think he’s done for.
This ball is rolling and picking up speed.
He most assuredly did!!!!!
Smoke and mirrors.
He makes nice and keeps his policies.
Folks like the kinder gentler Trump, and he implements the same exactly plans.
People on the Left are lead to believe he has changed. The GOPe tells everyone he has to save face.
Gotta love this guy...
It took Trump 2 weeks to bury Joe NBC, who was his biggest “insider” & “Florida” supporter.
Trump’s brashness and ego is a good thing. I don’t think he is going to tolerate much crap.
The GOPe will never make nice with Trump unless he abandons his “America First” message and embraces their globalist, one world government agenda.
This is why the GOPE will support Hillary. She is a globalist, one world government person as well.
If members of the GOPe make nice with Trump, I will be very suspicious of what agreement took place.
Who would have thought trump would engage the GOPe? I’m shocked.
1. “Lying Ted..” (groans)
2. “Senator Cruz..”
3. (jumps up with hair helmet) “OMG, he sounds so different and PRESIDENTIAL..! OMG I’m going to have a media ORGASMmmmmmm...!!!”
4. “LYInnnnNNN TED..!!!!!!”
Thaaaaaat’s my boy..!!!!
Hey, I like your new tagline.
Good job...
Thanks!!!!....:o)
“I’ve decided that getting along is better,” he said. “I think it will play well in Washington.””
GOPe money is green like any other.
