Some, even here in DU, have averred a "deal" between Bill Clinton and Donald Trump . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . to kill the Republican Party.

Do you think this is possible? Do you think this is, in fact, underway now?




MODS: This post is about what it says it is about. It is NOT about the Dem primaries. Again, for clarity, it is NOT ABOUT THE PRIMARIES.

I do not think there is any deal or quid pro quo between Clinton and Trump, but am open to the possibility there is.

1. Yes I do. Maybe a deal... maybe a bet... maybe a dare.

2. The GOP is already dead

They won't reinvent themselves until Hillary is in office

Trump is probably just a sideshow because they had no intention of running a credible candidate

3. While I acknowledge that Trump's off-the scale narcissism is able to explain a lot...

this entire episode and his role is truly enigmatic to me. If some plot between the two ends up being the case, I will forever be in awe of the ability to pre-plan and manipulate in such a masterful fashion.

The alternative, that Trump is "for real" and so much of our population so ignorant, bigoted, and unthinking of consequences, is frightening to believe... and makes one begin to understand how a Hitler/Mussolini/Stalin can take hold--perhaps even here.

4. I know I would like to hear a recording of the phone conversation Clinton and Trump had...

5. It's certainly not impossible

I have to admit, I'm waiting for the punchline of the joke.

6. Would such a conspiracy be illegal?

I'm not big on conspiracy theories, and this one seems to me as far-fetched as most of the other CTs I've heard, political and otherwise. All it would take would be one insider to reveal the truth.

Nah. In my opinion, there's no Ciinton-Trump deal.

8. A deal between the two, No. A dare...

One will really never know.

7. Since it cost a lot to win, and even more to lose

You and me better spend some time, wonderin' what to choose.

9. It goes to show, you don't ever know...

11. Ridiculous

Just because he donated to Democrats a decade ago doesn't really mean anything now.
