Donald Trump and Bill Clinton: Behind the ‘Bromance’
Daily Beast ^ | Aug. 4, 2015 | Michael Daly

Posted on 08/06/2015 10:34:48 AM PDT by Twotone

Bill Clinton already had Donald Trump's cellphone number.

The two have been buddies for years, which means Clinton also had Trump's number in a larger sense.

Clinton knew exactly who he was talking to when he and Trump had a phone chat back when The Donald was deciding whether to run for president this time around.

Would Reagan reach out to Bill Clinton before Clinton launched his presidential bid?

Do tell.

And why would Trump give to DEMOCRAT Ed Rendell in Pennsylvania? Was that to build buildings in New York, as some say that he gave money to Hillary in order to get things done (build buildings) in New York?

Do tell.

Is Bill Clinton supportive of the conservative base?

Do tell.

Bill Clinton has never appeared to want Hillary as president. He has “inadvertently” sabotaged her on more than one occasion, and this Foundation stuff will raise its head again, as Bill will see to it.

That’s why I believe it was probably Bill who called Trump, not the other way around.

The only reason for Trump to call Bill would be for reasons of protocol, between public friends. imho.

Lol. Can’t even answer a very simple question? Because you know there’s no answer, which entirely invalidates these ignorant accusations. One more time: What does Trump stand to gain that he doesn’t already have by playing straw man?

Now I understand just how dangerous Donald Trump is!

Exactly. Thanks Daily Beast for letting me know I should stay away from Donald since he talks to Clinton!

Go Trump!

I know they talk, but anything further than that...I think it ‘before the debate’ dirt throwing....


True.. Trump is indeed republican this week...
Speaking the truth about Trump is un republican..

as;..... republicans MUST be “ Fair “... and other juvenile words and concepts..
While being FAIR can and probably will get you SLIMMED..
Which republicans are very comfortable WITH..

Democrats are NEVER “FAIR”... they are serious at POLITICAL WAR...
Republicans can be APATHETIC and LAZY... oh!.. and “Fair”..

*** Juvenile concept: “Thats NOT Fair”..

No one knows what anyone will do when actually elected, but their previous writings are usually very instructed. Both Hitler and Obama told us, in their pre-election writings, what they would actually do when elected, even though they campaigned saying something else to get elected.

Well trying to prevent America from imploding into outright communist totalitarianism might have something to do with it...

Or is that naive? After all, even a billionaire might find one or two uses for the continued existence of something resembling the original Constitution.

"He does appear to have a temper if he doesn’t get what he wants or expects."

Is that what your RINO GOPe brethren have decided is their next tactic in Operation Stop Trump? Tell everyone he has a temper then slander and attack him to try to get a rise out of him on debate day. Are you part of their coordinated attack? When you go back to your GOPe buddies, tell them we already know JEB! and Billy Jeff are brothers and best buds. Jebby proved it when he gave Hitlery a medal after Benghazi.

Well he says as much.....and may be so....at this juncture I just want someone who will do the job and isn’t the general established politician....Cruz has been operating in Washington for awhile now trying to “move” the electorate to DO they have to do, and ‘proven’ unwilling to do so.

I know Cruz has ‘a base within the Congress’ who are prepared to take this country back should he win the presidency, and he has the path marked to so so.... Trump will have to “build” that in WAshington and time just isn’t plentiful to do so.

Can you imagine how much better Bill’s life would be if Hillary got locked up? We are talking like winning the lottery better.

True, unless Cruz and Trump join forces, which seems like it’s already happening.

Its funny, its Trump’s very volatility that makes him both a possible Rat-breaker AND Rat-enabler, depending on his intentions.

Fascinating, actually.

Yes. I agree....I think what we’re watching between Cruz and Trump, and those we don;t see enabling them like Coutler,Palin and many other conservatives working it behind the scenes.....is a very real ‘orchestrated plan’ to take back our government... the establishment is well aware this is now in swing.

The counter moves by Hillary, Jeb and demorats, and others behind them, are also playing out with the full knowledge this is a breaking up of their hold on our country. That IS what this election is about.

Why they want Trump and Cruz stopped?...They’ll stop their gravy train...Trump and Cruz will surely investigate the corruption and bribery and prosecute the criminals that are ripping Americans off.....Nothings off the table in bringing Trump or Cruz down as I see it.

OMGOSH, YES! The entire nation would embrace Bill after being detangled from that shrew, who used him to claw out her own future, from. the. beginning.

Read where Hillary is considered “America’s Ex Wife”!
How fitting.

Trump is a man of action and he knows how to get things done.

When it comes to government approvals for projects the fastest and most efficient way is always to start by bribing the Clintons. That is why The Donald has Bill on speed dial.

The Bushs are big pals of Bill Clinton, too. Babs called Clinton her third son. Bush Sr. joined up with Clinton to raise funds for Haiti and I think the Clinton Foundation sucked off most of that money.

No body is friends with Hillary much.

I apologize for my response. Clearly, Donald was just joking when he threatened to run against the GOP nominee if he was not the winner. He is such a breath of fresh air.
