I suspect that is precisely as Hillary intends. Bill Clinton is known to have counseled and encouraged Trump to run. The distracton beats talking about her private server in their view, but does NOTHING to promote substantive debate in this election cycle. It's pointless blustery bomb-throwing that the MSM is eager to cover.

As to their daughters, they are rich girl BFFs and I doubt campaigning for their parent will impact the election or their relationship.

what is the Cocktail Circuits,is it is who you know and not what the outside 99% ers care about. Our Election turnouts suck the way it is and if the real world folks heard the Circles conversations,well,the turnout would be even less. And we wonder why the apathy of the public. The system is so rigged against the outsider. Example:Spent Monday at the Minnesota State Fair,checked out the DFL booth,Labor booth and then over to the GOP booth. Bumped into a old acquaintance from the Star and Trib how just happened to be hanging around the GOP booth doing a story about Trump and who was and was not checking out his table. Found out the real story he was doing was a fluff piece about Trump because it was the Bosses Orders. Asked about why he was not covering the DFL or Labor Booths,response was,are you kidding,the Boss wants this Tea Party part two garbage. BTW,Star and Tribe is owned by Glenn Taylor who also owns Carlson Craft Industries,the Timber Wolves and is one of the largest Ag Land owners in Minnesota. Sick. And to think this guy was one of the toughest News Guys in the Twin Cities,and would not even waste his time on this type of stuff.

I hadn't heard that they were candidates for anything.

Who cares if they're friends? Why on Earth would that matter to anyone?

Stinky post, I think. You might want to consider self-deleting.
