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.
