Donald Trump said that he has always had a great relationship with Nancy Pelosi in Congress and that the two will work together if he is elected to the Oval Office.
"I think I'll get along with Nancy Pelosi," Trump said Tuesday on "Morning Joe" when asked who he could make deals with in Congress.
He added, "Ive always had a great relationship with Harry Reid and 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."
The GOP front-runner, who has been shunned by much of the Republican and Democratic establishment alike, also insisted that he'd be able to get along with Sen. Chuck Shumer, D.-NY, saying that he was "close to him in many ways."
"It's important to go along. It's wonderful to say that you're a maverick and you're going to close up the country and all the things. But you've got to get somebody to go along with you. We have a lot of people, we have a system," Trump said as he went on to condemn his opponent, Ted Cruz, for his lack of likability.
With less than one week until the Iowa caucus, Trump and Cruz remain close contenders for first place.

Simply click each policy or issue to read the back-story.
Of course, he can!
Trump will take them both to the cleaners too.
Sounds like more of the same.
That right there is the a big issue for me. I do not want deals. I want someone to say no to stupid crap and not offer a more improved version of crap. The GOPe does that already.
The difference is his deals will favor the nation, not the Democrat Party.
Great. That sure beats surrendering as our Republican Congress has done.
Too bad he doesn’t show that same kind of affinity and respect for conservatives

That’s EXACTLY what conservatives fear! He won’t go to Washington to break the destructive policies of the political left— he’ll simply break our hearts.
Let no one say they had no idea.
Living on yesterday much?
The desperate are grasping for anything, believing no one can wise up and change opinions, with age and life circumstances.
You forgot a couple of real biggies.
Voted for Corker Bill Trump NO Cruz YES
Voted for TPP Trump NO Cruz YES
“Cut deals”—Trump’s deals—not bow and scrape and kiss their toes like Mitch and Boner and the GOPe.
Any time you deal with the devil, the devil wins.
Will he make deals with islamists too?
I hope this warms all the Trumpeteers’ hearts! What will it take for people to wake up, and realize that this man would be a disaster as President?
Perhaps Pelosi and Chuckles Schumer will love Trump as much as they loved Boehner and McConnell.
Haven’t you noticed, Trump always says nice things about people until they cross him? It’s the Art of the Deal.
Pelosi needs to be destroyed not gotten along with.
Don’t try to present facts about the NY liberal flip-flopper conman.
