Bill Clinton called Trump ahead of his 2016 launch
By Robert Costa and Anne Gearan - August 5, 2015

Former president Bill Clinton had a private telephone conversation in late spring with Donald Trump at the same time that the billionaire investor and reality-television star was nearing a decision to run for the White House, according to associates of both men.

Four Trump allies and one Clinton associate familiar with the exchange said that Clinton encouraged Trump’s efforts to play a larger role in the Republican Party and offered his own views of the political landscape.
...
The revelation of the call comes as many Republicans have begun criticizing Trump for his ties to Democrats, including past financial donations to the Clintons and their charitable foundation.
...
Those with knowledge of the call in both camps said it was one of many that Clinton and Trump have had over the years, whether about golf or donations to the Clinton Foundation. But the call in May was considered especially sensitive, coming soon after Hillary Rodham Clinton had declared her own presidential run the month before.


...
At Trump’s 2005 wedding, Hillary Clinton sat in the front row for the ceremony, and Bill Clinton reportedly joined her for festivities later. The Clintons were photographed laughing chummily with Trump and new wife Melania Knauss at the reception, with Bill Clinton clasping Trump’s shoulder.

Trump also donated to Hillary Clinton’s New York Senate campaigns and to the Clinton Foundation.

Good comparison.

Trump is a conservative and has a good lookin' woman to demonstrate the fact.

Meanwhile,..old communist Bill is hangin' out with a woman who has a head like a puddle of mule piss.

Good comparison.

Trump is a completely principle-free money grubber and has a good lookin' late model gold digger to demonstrate the fact.

Meanwhile,..old communist Bill is hangin' out with a woman who makes more money than he does.

Fixed that for you.

I'm sure it went something like "Sure Bill I can enter the Republican primary and say a lot of crazy things so the others go so far right trying to out crazy me that Hillary will win even easier"

They sure fucked that plan up.

I'm sure it went something like "Sure Bill I can enter the Republican primary and say a lot of crazy things so the others go so far right trying to out crazy me that Hillary will win even easier for a nice six figure price tag, including expenses."

Fixed that for you.

I don't see the slightest fucking problem with that plan yet.

Hell, I strongly suspect ten percent or more of the adult population of this country won't vote Republican this round no matter who they nominate, because they can't bring themselves to pull the lever for the Party of That Asshole Trump.

The call went something like this:


Bubba: So I hear that you're moving into my former field of expertise?

Trump: Maybe? Feeling Nervous [a hearty laugh ensues]?

Bubba: Those days are behind me. I have trouble keeping it up, never mind working the stump. But let's get back to business. If you are serious, I have a proposition for you. That damn hag Hillary is bugging me night and day about this presidency thing and I need her off my back. This woman is relentless. But here goes..........Would you be willing to be branded a racist, lose a ton of business, irreparably harm your brand, and become a public pariah for a political favor down the road?

Trump: Of course. I'm an idiot who fell into my money.

Now tell us the Clintons don't have enough to pay your price for all of that.

They sure fucked that plan up.

Not at all. In a hypothetical matchup, Hillary has the biggest lead over Trump compared to any other GOP candidate in the race.

Meanwhile, Paul and Walker have fared the best against Clinton:

Yeah, a lot of us figured so. Shame how conservatives can be such fools.

And Hillary visited Obozo in the White House, for a very brief meeting right after her announcement. The anointed Obozo told her to f'k off, and ever since Obozo has been looking for another candidate to take her down.

Trump is a Bush place holder. Jeb is even dumber than his brother and father... no way he can carry his own weight; without a circus clown diverting all attention from him for the next few months.

Alternate ending ...

Trump: "Okay, but what's in it for me?"

It would be interesting to know who leaked the story.
