The Clinton's and Trump's are good friends. Is this all a hoax?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by one_voice (a host of the General Discussion forum).

The master of marketing, who can do TV. Trump can do this, we know. Is he running to protect Hillary so that she is really the only candidate to vote for?

Because the media and corporations are involved, in creating Trump the front runner it smacks of a real conspiracy.

Because of ALL of the media, print, TV, radio, and zero candidates on the republican side, this smells like one big game for them. Powers to be like Goldman Sachs said they'd be happy with Hillary or Jeb. Jeb doesn't want to be the prez, so it's Hillary. Trump is there to protect her. Say whatever you want, this is how I see this race.
The funny thing, is they may get what they didn't expect.

them for years! Along with many other democrats. So what's the come to republican jesus moment with Trump? The media could have gotten rid of him before Iowa! Who own who here? I see right through this. The big don has no intention of being preznit. He'd hate every minute of it, being run all day long with handlers telling him what he's doing, and when's he doing it every damn day. Trump could never ever accept that. This is a hoax. Another reason Clinton, any Clinton will ever again get my vote. I've seen enough!

Wed Mar 23, 2016, 04:54 PM

to drive reluctant voters to Hillary.

Bill Clinton urged Trump to run (a move that DU's Hillary faithful call "Genius&quot . Debbie Wasserman Schultz's strategy has been to keep Hillary out of the press as much as possible, because she tends to put her foot in her mouth when she opens it, and the last thing that she wants is people asking her about the issues (wants a war with Iran, more fracking, more GMOs, cuts to SS and medicare, less Wall Street regulation, the TPP etc). They don't want the public to know anything about Bernie because the more they know, the more they like, hence the "Bernie Blackout". So how does the establishment get the Left and centrists to vote for a deeply unpopular right wing candidate who is running as a Democrat? Create the ultimate boogyman with Trump to scare people into the polls for Clinton. Voting for "the lesser of evils" has worked for them for a long time. They hope to take it to extremes this time around. Well, with that and the help of rigged machines (exit polls show that Bernie won MO, NV, IL, and MA, the last by double digits) and flat out election fraud in AZ. Calling an election for both Trump and Hillary with only 1% of the vote in? Are you f*cking KIDDING ME????

they called Arizona for Clinton AND Trump with only ONE PERCENT of votes tallied while voters were still in line and election fraud was being reported. They've never done such a thing before, so why now? Because their heist won't work without Trump; they need to keep the focus on him until the end. Look for his statements to get crazier and crazier as NY and CA begin voting. He's our own electorial 9/11.

Wed Mar 23, 2016, 05:17 PM
Mar 2016

BC: The republicans love Putin Don, they are racist and angry, they would vote for Adolph Hitler if he was a republican. They love an angry rude bully. Look at Rush.

DT: No way. The business arm of the party would put their foot down if the candidate was too extreme. Rush is just a paid actor to get the crazies to the poll to give them the winning margin. They are a minority in the party.

BC: They might TRY Don, but the crazies have taken over the party. We have the internet now and the media is too diffuse for them to control the message. The grassroots is in control now. They have for years managed to get them to vote their fears and prejudices rather than their pocketbooks.

DT: You are nuts bill. Tell ya what. I'll run on that and watch me go down. I'll say some of the most angry racist stuff I can and I'll dangerously swagger on military issues a la Putin, and I'll lose. Bet you a thousand.

Bill: You're on. But give me one handicap.

DT: What's that?

Bill: Let me prove to you that it's all about race and hatred and not about policy. You pimp some semi democratic economic positions. If you allow them to vote their pocketbooks AND their prejudices you will for sure win.

DT: Oh I'll take that! That will be sure to cause me to lose!

I don't think they realized Trump could actually win the GOP nomination though. He was just supposed to drag them to the right, the bigoted, terrifying right. It's a very dangerous game being played.
