When I was growing up in New York, I wanted to be a professional boxer, but was smart enough to know that if I entered the ring with Muhammad Ali -- then heavyweight champion of the world -- they'd have to bring out the smelling salts within seconds and the ambulance would soon arrive to cart me away on a stretcher!
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump should consider such thoughts as he ponders his plan to go mano a mano against Bill Clinton, the most popular living former president and the heavyweight champion of American politics today. So might Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who is widely despised among his GOP Senate colleagues, could well be defeated for reelection to the Senate from Texas and runs for president as the "Trump Lite" candidate. Bill Clinton is the heavyweight champion of American politics because his presidency is fondly remembered as a time when the nation was blessed with rising prosperity and tens of millions of new jobs and a widespread optimism that America was on the right track and tomorrow would be better than today.
While Clinton was promoting the policies that created the prosperity that lifted the national economy -- with current Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton by his side as his first lady and closest confidant -- Trump heaped lavish praise on the highly successful president and the policies he advanced.
After President Clinton left office and Hillary Clinton entered the Senate and won praise on both sides of the aisle -- including respect from GOP Senators that Cruz could not dare to dream of -- Trump heaped extravagant praise on Hillary Clinton, whom he supported in her campaigns for the Senate and the Democratic nomination in 2008....

That was then. This is now.
There are no second acts in politics.
So the Dems should be encouraging Republicans to nominate Trump, right? Why are they so afraid of him?

Yes. It’s clear that Budowsky has a crush on Clinton.
Tell that to Dick Nixon.
No point in reading past that line.
LOLOL...oh I needed a good laugh right now, it’s been a long day...thanks for posting this idiot’s article...LOLOL!!!
See ya on the Trump thread during his rally tonight in Iowa!!!
Bill Clinton won’t crush shit with or without a smile. He may have Trump killed. That he could with a smile. If you don’t believe that, ask Ron Brown, Vince Foster, Jim McDougal, or many, many more.
Gosh Brent!
Good thing you warned Trump about that clown-shoe-wearing, red-nosed, bent richard rapist.
My dad can beat your dad up!
Clinton had sex appeal to men and women. Now he is a creepy old man who no doubt has a pocket full of penis pills and a fat lesbian wife who can’t get off the toilet seat without her muslim assistant. I doubt America is still wowed with the Clintons.
Nobody has ever had the balls to go against the Clintons, at least the way they deserve. Guess what? That time is gone. Say buh bye to the 2 grifters.
I doubt that I’ll be on that one unless he insults Cruz, which is highly unlikely.
My dad can beat your dad up!
Leftists will always defend their rapist in chief..he goes to Orgie Island and has sex with who knows how many children but hey the left doesn’t care, pedophiles are their voting block
A ‘BARF ALERT’ would have been nice...
