Trump will get along with them - on HIS terms.


If he goes all the way I hope you are right, but I expect to be disappointed. Trump overstates things in a bombastic style, but what if he is simply yelling for 100’ of rope when all he wants or expects is 50? It’s a common negotiation strategy found in his own book. The crowds cheer the 100’ promises, but what if they end up feeling like they are 50’ short?

On top of that what are the odds that congress (both sides) simply cave to everything he demands? D.C. does not work that way because our government no longer sets priorities - everyone gets most of what they want and we continue to explode our debt because nobody wants to set priorities or make hard decisions. You can’t do much without congress or you do the same thing people criticize Obama for.

I expect we are going to find out.... hope I am wrong.

If we only got 50%, it would be more than Boehner, McConnell, Ryan and two Bushes ever got us. And a good negotiator gers mire than 50%.
