The Clinton's deal with Trump

[dudeabides]

I figured out the deal between Bill & Hillary and the Donald.

Bill Clinton knows that if Jeb Bush became the Republican nominee for President, it would be very difficult for Hillary Clinton to win. When he heard Donald Trump was considering a run for President, he decided it was time to encourage Trump to destroy Jeb Bush. So Bill made a deal. If Trump agreed to attack Bush, Hillary Clinton would stay away from attacking Trump for the most part. Hillary would have an easier time in the general election and Donald Trump would get publicity for a book or television show after the campaign was over. Jeb Bush is no longer the GOP front-runner and yet, both Trump and Clinton attack him far more than each other.

Now, there is one major flaw is Clinton's logic. Jeb Bush isn't the only electable Republican. Marco Rubio has emerged as a strong potential general election candidate. He has the same ability to reach out to demographics that have not been great to Republicans lately, yet he has a fresh face and a last name that isn't Bush. Recently, we have seen Trump go after Rubio. But he has stayed away from Ben Carson for the most part, his strongest opponent in the polls.

Carson is not a serious candidate, regardless of his poll numbers. He's not going to win the nomination for a huge host of reasons, nor do I think he even wants to. If, by some strange quirk of fate he were to gain the nomination, he would be destroyed in the general by his lack of experience and literal religious fundamentalism, among other things.  An indicted Hillary could likely win handily against Carson.

You explained Carson. How about Fiorina, Kasich, and Cruz? He's going after the two who have the best chance in a general election - Rubio and Bush.

lololol

Whatever helps you cope with the fact that Jeb Bush will never be President.

This conspiracy theory has been going around areas of the internet for some time now actually. From what other sources I've seen Trump's plan is to ruin the GOP's appeal among hispanics and women. Then Hillary Clinton will woo them over with promises of breaking the glass ceiling and add on a hispanic running mate.

All of this implies that Trump is not actually running to be president, he's running just to bring down the image of "his" party.

Just gonna let this one sit.

It actually makes sense Trump is running to hurt the GOP as he's based on his past likely a closet liberal SJW.

Great material! I'll be sure to bookmark this page whenever I find myself in need of a good laugh.

I misunderstood of your post. (I blame the late hour and a long weekend.) I thought that you were saying Carson was a serious candidate, and I think that its important for objective analysis that we understand he isn't. That was all.

This isn't about me, it's not about Jeb Bush, it's not about any person. Our country is in very serious trouble. We have an economy in stagnation, our leadership standing in the world is being diminished, we have unsustainable debt and entitlement programs in need of reform, the next President of the United States is going to take office in a time of great challenge. The reason I am supporting Jeb Bush is because he's not a Washington politician, he's someone with experience as a Governor and in the private sector, and I believe he has the knowledge of the issues and leadership skills and experience to govern in a very challenging time. But if my fellow Republicans nominate another candidate, I will support that candidate so long as it's not Donald Trump.

I don't believe that Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton should be entrusted with the toughest job in the world. I think both have a history of supporting socialist policies, both have been involved in criminal activity, both have no real core convictions, and both lack the skill set to lead. I also happen to believe that Donald Trump is mentally unstable.

To the point you make about me accepting that Jeb Bush won't be President, I have acknowledged time after time in recent months that I think Marco Rubio will be the next President of the United States most likely. But this is the most crazy election cycle I can remember, and anything can change between now and both February when the voting begins or next November. I still believe Jeb Bush has a chance of winning the presidency, though I do acknowledge that his chances are considerably lower than they were six months ago. While I believe Jeb Bush is better qualified to be President than Marco Rubio, I do believe that Marco Rubio would be a leader who would exercise good judgement and I think he's right on the issues. He's been a thoughtful legislator and he's shown a willingness to study issues. I also think both Bush and Rubio scare Bill and Hillary Clinton because they know that the GOP can probably only win with one of those two as their nominees.

It actually makes sense Trump is running to hurt the GOP as he's based on his past likely a closet liberal SJW.

Well said

This makes no sense.

Trump was a big celebrity and had a good reputation before he ran.  Now, most of the country hates him, and he's lost many of his deals.  He was already the biggest star in America, what star power do you think he's gaining from this presidential run that's going to make him sell more books?

Bush isn't Hillary's worst nightmare at all.  As Trump has shown in abundance, Jeb can be had, and quite easily.

Why would Trump care whether or not Hillary attacks him, he's getting attacked on all sides anyway and Hillary's not exactly shielding him from attacks from the left.

If Trump was being told to go after the most electable Republicans, he'd be annihilating Ben Carson right now, since Carson is crushing Hillary across the board in current polling.  Trump's not going after Carson because he wants Carson's supporters to like him.

Interesting baseless hysteria and drivel.

I hope Marco Rubio becomes the guy to take it to Hillary, what does Bubba do then, try and get Rubio's wife to do a porno?  He's basically shafted his wife if Rubio comes as the GOP nominee or say Trump decides he likes the idea of being President and does of a double cross on the Clinton's,  Hillary thinks one good debate performance has gotten her out of the woods, there are plenty of people in the Obama administration and don't be surprised if the Benghazi committee has a gotcha piece of material that scuttles Hillary's hopes. What does Bubba do then? Go after Trey Goudy?

What's going on here? Have we truly descended to poll trutherism and crazy conspiracy theories?
