While a slew of GOP presidential contenders ranging from Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex) to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush have gotten endorsements from sitting members of Congress, Donald Trump had come up empty until this week when Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) gave him the nod.
"When you look over who the Republicans are considering as their nominee its a sorry bunch," Reid observed. "None of them possess the visionary leadership exhibited over the last seven years by President Obama. However, one of them stands out as a man of perspicacity and guile. That man is Donald Trump. Not only has he had the good sense to help fund a few of my campaigns for office, but I believe he also has the flexibility to be able to reach across the aisle and work with Democrats for the greater good of the country."
Reid hastened to clarify that "of course, I will be supporting the Democratic nominee in the general election. Trump is a hateful demagogue that I urge voters to reject. However, if he wins in November I'm confident that we can make mutually beneficial deals with the author of The Art of the Deal."
For his part, Trump cited Reid's remarks "as proof I'm the one candidate in either Party who is best situated to make things happen. I've always had a good relationship with Harry. I've been very close to his likely successor Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). And I've never had a problem with Nanct Pelosi (D-Calif). No other Republican can say the same. So, yes, I think we can do business with the Democrats after I'm elected."
In related news, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was endorsed by Ted Kaczynski, who called her "the least of the evils available. Total anarchy would be my preferred ideal. None of the Republicans would get us an inch closer to that. On the other hand, her lawless flouting of national security gives a tiny ray of hope that we might move in the right direction with Hillary in the White House." In 1998, Kaczynski was convicted of crimes related to a notorious nationwide bombing campaign that earned him the nickname: "Unabomber."

PLEASE GAG ME!!!
Chucky Schumer has praised the NY liberal Trump too and that’s not satire. The Democrats want to face him in the general. He is the most disliked of anyone running, is the only GOP viable candidate running behind Hillary Clinton and will push more GOP voters to stay home then Romney did.

Your an idiot and you don’t understand business politics. Business people do things to further their business goals, not necessarily their ideology goals. If you were a business owner and were building a new construction site and wanted to avoid any regulation hassles with the local politicians or city councils, you would be a fool not to add a few bucks to the head politician in that area no matter what party they were aligned with. And keep in mind, Democrates are NOTORIOUS for holding business people hostage for campaign contributions! My dad was a business owner in Los Angeles and ran into this problem all the time and he no liberal!
