maybe they should complain to Bill since he may of encouraged this Fascist to run.

Report: Bill Clinton May Have Encouraged Donald Trump to Run for President

What if the Clintons were playing chess … against themselves?!
BY TINA NGUYEN
Whom does the country have to blame for Donald Trump’s ascendancy in American politics? The Republican Party, for cultivating conservative populism to score short-term victories against Barack Obama? The media, for covering Trump’s every utterance at the expense of all other candidates? Celebrity culture, for thrusting him into the public consciousness? Capitalism, for making him rich? Tall buildings, of which Trump has many?

Wrong, says The Washington Post, which revealed the supposed truth on Wednesday: it was former president and candidate spouse Bill Clinton all along.

According to several Trump sources (and one Clinton source) who spoke to the Post, the two men spoke over the phone in late May, shortly before Trump announced his run in June. During the call, the Trump sources said, Clinton “encouraged Trump’s efforts to play a larger role in the Republican Party” and “analyzed Trump’s prospects and his desire to rouse the G.O.P. base.”

That conversation, said the anonymous Trump sources, certainly didn’t discourage the billionaire to run: while Clinton never outright told Trump to enter the race, he reportedly told Trump that he was “striking a chord with frustrated conservatives and was a rising force on the right,” and his tone was supposedly “encouraging.”

1. Been wondering about that, myself.

It is almost like a plan has gone rogue.

3. In an earlier

thread about this subject many Hillary supporters were boasting that it was a brilliant move by Bill.......

15. BIll Clinton, adding more shit to his resume by the moment.

[UglyGreed]

17. Some enjoy the aroma

it seems.....

2. Another reason to not trust the Clintons.

4. Not unlike the Frankenstein monster.

5. Why would the Clintons be worried about Trump at all? They appear to like him, socially.

8. The Clintons also aren't of the classes a President Trump would come for

Taking America back 20 years as Trump has suggested, would place the Clintons just where?

Yep.

6. It appears the Clintons...

Might have destroyed the Republican Party and guaranteed us victory with one short phone call.

[UglyGreed]

7. Well if that is the

case why so many "pledge" threads????

[NCTraveler]

10. Pledge what threads? Nt

[UglyGreed]

11. All one has to do is look

in GD P and those who plead to those who support Bernie to vote for Hillary if she ends up in the GE. Then we have another thread telling people that a vote for Jill Stein is really a vote for Trump.... If Bill has destroyed the GOP with his ill advised move to get Trump to run why are so many scared? Let people vote the way they would like to without being "Nadered" because IMO this one of the reasons we end up having to vote for the lesser of two evils.

12. This is a political discussion board...

That details supporting democrats in its purpose. I don't find this discussions to be out of place in such a forum. Not sure why anyone would. My only concern about Trump is keeping him out of the WH. But that seems to be a certainty. I do think he is our best opponent. Just another reason to thank the Big Dog. In one short phone call the big dog dismantled the Republican Party and has all but ensured the next president will be a democrat.

It's a great time to be a progressive.

[UglyGreed]

13. Just saying

why the worry??? Bill Clinton has sabotaged the GOP as you stated and destroyed the party with his Trojan Horse which is Trump. IMO No need for such threads, all is fine and good and the little people will prosper once again, it's been a long time coming.

9. I have wondered if there hasn't been an arrangement

between Trump and Clintons. Get the nomination of the GOP so HRC looks good in contrast and comparison. There is enough baggage and dislike out there for her that you really have to run against a real doozy. And there he is.

Both Trump and Clinton are equally disliked.

The 1% wins with either of them. Not at all surprised at all the antics. It is about as real as professional wrestling and voting public is being played. They didn't expect Sanders would run and do as well as he has.

14. As soon as Team Hill started panicking and calling for party unity under them to fight Trump

This is immediately what I thought of. Either this went further than the Clintons had calculated, or they are using the fear bludgeon to shore up their failing campaign.

In either case, they invited him to the party. They can deal with him.

16. They are not REAL about anything

They aren't REAL-ly worried, it was just a convenient meme they thought up one week to smear Bernie with. They don't really care or they'd understand the polls.
