CNN ^ | October 25, 2015 | Jeremy Diamond

Donald Trump believes he would "absolutely" be a force for bipartisanship, but in an interview this weekend neither Republicans nor Democrats escaped a barrage of attacks from the GOP presidential candidate ...

And he lamented the House Select Committee on Benghazi's questioning of Clinton, a hearing he called "very partisan" that "hurts both parties" and "hurts the country."

"The level of hatred between Republicans and Democrats was unbelievable. The level of -- I've never seen anything like it," Trump said. "I'm going to unify. This country is totally divided. Barack Obama has divided this country unbelievably. And it's all, it's all hatred, what can I tell you. I've never seen anything like it...I've gotten along with Democrats and I've gotten along with Republicans. And I said, that's a good thing."

Tapper asked Trump if his presidency would result in an era of bipartisanship.

"I absolutely think so," he said, adding, "I will be a great unifier for our country." ...

I don’t like it when politicians talk about “disunity” or “partisanship” as though those are evils.

When one party has turned Communist, and the establishment in the other party is complicit, it’s time for disunity, rancor, suspicion, and “partisanship.”

FIFTY-EIGHT MILLION BABIES have been murdered, in the U.S. alone, because of the Democrats and the Republican establishment.

I worry that Trump, while sincerely “pro-life” in some sense of the word, does not comprehend that we either end abortion, or we have no country. I think he does understand that we either end the alien invasion engineered by the Uniparty, or we have no country.

Roe v. Wade—and a lot of other USSC decisions—cannot co-exist with the U.S. Constitution.

Put Trump in THIS category ...

Successful Sales Manager

THINK about the people he motivates to accomplish his ends

TRANSPOSE all that to politics ...

and instead of some Senator yelling "YOU LIE" at the SOTU address ... I think you got a PRESIDENT calling out the SC and or the democrat party publicly !

When I think of political "unity", I think of Boehner and the Turdle uniting with the Democrats.

Agreed. I'm waiting to hear Trump say he'll crush the Democrats.

Me too. Right now he’s only spent his time ragging on all republicans. There are plenty of things wrong with republicans, but I want to hear him begin to rag on Hillary.

He’s done wonders for unity right here at FR. We’re all just one big happy family during this primary season.

In Trump's world deals are achieved because both sides get something out of it. In politics today both sides get something out of not reaching deals.

If you're not for Trump, you're a communist.

The people who voted for Obama wanted this division.
I say give it to them.

Everyone's world is an endless series of deals. Even yours and mine.

He's simply recognized it, and made the most of those deals.

I sincerely hope he is a unifier. There is no way to fix this country without the support of all.

He’ll unite American-Americans. I don’t know about the globalist “citizens of the world” and other foreigners with foreign loyalties.
