If Trump is elected President, does anyone think he will work with the Democrats to enact his agenda? Maybe he will need the Democrats more than the Republicans?

He is getting flack for supposedly being to chummy with Dems in his previous life before the race to the presidency. People are wanting the left and right to work together so why isn't his previous contributions, friendships and alliances seen as a GOOD thing

A lot of his policies actually lean left.. Wait, not even lean left, but far left...

I have a feeling he'll fight with the GOP more than the Democrats..

Because the ONLY 'compromise' he's ever demonstrated a willingness to go along with is to do things HIS way.

Because he wants to protect the border from illegals, and the left needs the illegals and people living in poverty to win other elections.

I'm sorry, but people are really Stupid....Ron Regan's son, wrote an article about Trump, downing him for his liberal tendencies...
Well, how long ago was that? I was a registered dem, then changed to republican, then back to dem, then back to republican....an educated monkey would or should realize, that our priorities change as we grow older....or they should...in any case....

people, no one man is perfect....and believe me, yes, Trump is a blow hard....but I'd rather take a chance on him in office then Hillary or any other GOP candidate....reason being is, he is a good man at heart....and Obama never said in his campaign speech that he was closing the borders and building a fence. He never said, enough with the PC, and he did promise to fix the economy while laughing all the way to Hawaii, how many times on our dollar?

What I'm saying is, I voted for Obama in his first term, but when he did nothing, but run up our debt, I certainly didn't vote for him in his 2nd term. And, BTW, he is just as much of a narcissistic as Trump is, he is just a tad slicker.....

I don't know if Trump is the answer, what I do know is, I'm voting for him....I'm not fond of the way he attacks people....he lacks refinement, but, in the same, some of your most refined people can be scum....so?

There is a Trump for all seasons. Of course Trump will be a great compromiser. He'll be the greatest in fact! The greatest everything -- he should probably just change his name now to Triumph, and we should change the name of America to Triumphica. Triumph will be such a magnificent president that by the 2040s, well into his sixth administration, we'll be wondering how we ever got along without him.

OMG, you are sooo right! Why didn't I see it before? Now that I've gotten my lobotomy, I see it all so clearly.

He is a great negotiator. That is what we need. Both Trump and Sanders have a lot on their wish lists and this allows for negotiation and compromise, wiggle room.

Trump understands "give and take" or he would be the success that he is.
