WTF? NBC 4: Clinton ENCOURAGED Trump To Run For President...

[AzDar]

NOW, they're gonna call him 'Dangerous Donald'? Tell the Electorate that the GOP candidate is a threat, so vote for $Hillary? Something STINKS about this...

1. Smart move if true.

He's the GOP's worst case scenario.

[CorkySt.Clair]

4. This is old news, Trump has even talked about it

But the OP knew that already. Just another slur before the TOS kick in.

[JCanete]

37. And the DNC's best case for scaring the shit out of people into voting for Hillary,

no matter what her policies are or how far right she goes.

[djean111]

2. IMO the Clintons figured that Trump as the GOP nominee was just another way to stack the deck for

Hillary. And who knows what else is waiting in the wings, in this brutal determination to be president.

[Purveyor]

40. Well you know...

[JRLeft]

41. LMFAO!

😂😂😂😂😂

[NCTraveler]

3. The Clintons might have guaranteed us a victory and destroyed the Republican party at the same time.

It might go down as one of the greatest moves in history.

[virtualobserver]

8. and if Trump wins? How will it go down in history?

[NCTraveler]

10. About the same as if Cruz, Kasich, or Rubio would have won.

The only difference is that we have much better odds against Trump.

I didn't know anyone was denying that it will suck if a republican were to win. Trump perfectly represents the base of the party.

[virtualobserver]

14. I think that it will suck more if Trump wins....Cruz would never have been in the running w/o Trump.

Bush would have been the nominee if not for Trump.

[NCTraveler]

15. I can't make sense of your last two sentences.

I don't delve into that level of crystal ball reading.

[AzDar]

11. Right. Unless Hillary loses to him and we get President TRUMP. Talk about DANGEROUS!

Seems they'll risk ANYTHING to WIN.

[NCTraveler]

12. We need someone willing to risk a certian amount for our progressive cause.

Of course a Trump Presidency would suck. Just like a Cruz one would. Didn't know that was in question.

[AzDar]

16. Jesus. Hope you warmed up before twisting and spinning liken that... don't want to pull a hammy.

The Clintons CONTINUE to put the country at risk with their greed, ambition and poor judgment.

[NCTraveler]

17. I stretch every morning. I think you should try it. Might help to clear up your words.

It's also a great and healthy way to start the day.

[AzDar]

20. Well, you stretch *something* continuously-I'll give you THAT. Hard work, defending the indefensible

[NCTraveler]

23. It pays well. Nt.

[AzDar]

26. Thirty shekels of silver...

[NCTraveler]

28. Skinner tells me he is going to use his connections with the Clinton campaign...

To get me a star as a bonus. How cool is that? On top of my regular check. Yes!!!!!

[cui bono]

36. "our progressive cause"

Hillary is not progressive and she is not fighting for progressive causes.

.

[treestar]

29. Somebody has to risk something

wins are not guaranteed.

But they are certainly more likely where the opponent has no experience and is a clown.

[AzDar]

34. Most polls show her losing... and the numbers keep getting WORSE .

[uponit7771]

43. You may be right but that's a big chance to take

[LanternWaste]

5. I'd encourage Palin as Trump's running-mate as well, as both are simply so beatable in a general.

I'd encourage Palin as Trump's running-mate as well, as both are simply so beatable in a general; though no doubt, some dogmatic political-hack would see my encouragement as a sinister cabal, conspiratorial even.

Imagination is a fine thing... as long as we see it for the fiction it is. Should we accept the creative speculation as concrete though, we hold hands with the moon-landing deniers.

[Lil Missy]

6. Old news.

[think]

7. Bill Clinton claimed he never brought it up. Typical dirty politics from the Clinton campaign.

[felix_numinous]

9. To be the fall guy

which makes total sense.

[lumberjack_jeff]

13. Isn't that special? The Clinton family isn't content to simply pick the D nominee. n/t

[seabeyond]

32. Voters picked D. As much as Sanders people like to pretend otherwise. Voters.

[uponit7771]

44. Really LJJ!??!! 3 million more people had nothing to do with it? Come on man

[Tarc]

18. Works for me

Let's face it, Trump as the GOP nominee will cripple their party for a generation. If that was the long con being played by the Clintons in getting Trumpy to run, I'd celebrate it as the greatest Machiavellian move ever.

[Waiting For Everyman]

19. Exactly. It certainly blunts the "he's so terrible" argument.

Which is pretty much all she's got.

[Jester Messiah]

35. They're two sides of the same coin.

And that coin is only good at the company store.

[BootinUp]

21. Nothing unusual about wanting to run against the worst candidate. nt

[AzDar]

22. The Candidate who BEATS Hillary? REALLY? You're going with that?

[Doctor_J]

24. He's literally the only candidate she can beat

So once again president Clinton outsmarted them

[MisterP]

27. not with those head-to-head poll numbers ...

she has a history of smart and clever snap decisions blowing up in her face hard

[AzDar]

30. Yeah. Unless she can't. Then once again the Clinton's greed, arrogance and poor judgment put the

whole country , if not world, in DANGER.

[Dems to Win]

25. Reality TV, directed by Bill Clinton. Bill and Donny working together to elect Hillary.

If Hillary is nominated and we really do have a Trump-Clinton race, I'm going to try to develop new hobbies and give up on following presidential politics. I hate reality TV, and I'm convinced that's all a Clinton-Trump race would be -- a reality TV show that ends with Hillary in the White House.

The more outrageous Trump is, the more he pushes people who 2 years ago would have said they would NEVER vote for Hillary into voting for her in the fall. It's the only way she can plausibly win, so that's the theater show Bill and Donald are producing.

I'm also convinced that the powers that rig the voting machines will do so on Hillary's behalf. She's the Establishment choice, by far. The outcome is not in doubt.

I'm so certain of my cynical views that if Hillary actually becomes the nominee, it won't be worth paying attention anymore.

[cui bono]

38. You know, I think you actually might be right.

And that's a disgusting thought... that politics have devolved to that.

.

[seabeyond]

31. Same way GOP encourages Sanders and then would call him Commie Bernie.

[woodsprite]

33. This has been talked about for MONTHS. I guess the MSM is just catching up. n/t

[Dem2]

39. It's only the 50th time this has been posted

Every time with the fake "I'm shocked!" effect - it's pretty amazing though.

[PADemD]

42. Can't Donald keep any campaign contributions that are not spent?

[oasis]

45. "If we nominate Hillary, it'll energize the GOP to flock to the polls".

Where are those posters now?
