Clinton explains why she went to Trump wedding
CNN ^ | August 10, 2015 | Dan Merica

Posted on 08/11/2015 10:33:09 AM PDT by McGruff

"I happened to be planning to be in Florida and I thought it would be fun to go to his wedding because it is always entertaining," Clinton said. "Now that he is running for president it is a little more troubling."

Clinton tried to distance herself from Trump, saying, "I didn't know him that well."

Donald and Melania (in Jean Paul Gaultier wedding dress).

And the cake.

What did bridegroom Donald say to regale the Clintons?

"I actually have a helicopter bigger than my bride's hair."

Every calculation this woman makes is thoroughly political.

Every word out of her mouth is a baldfaced lie.

What did she and her "husband" get Bill as a wedding gift? I mean, after all, they were "dead broke".

More than 450 people attended Donald Trump’s lavish 2005 wedding to Slovenian supermodel Melania Knauss. The guest list included Billy Joel, Katie Couric, Kelly Ripa, Simon Cowell and Tony Bennett. But it was another guest who got prime placement at the Trump nuptials — then-U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton.

According to a People magazine write-up at the time, Clinton watched the ceremony from the front pew of the Episcopal Church in Palm Beach, Fla.

Clinton’s attendance — and top-billing — highlight a political imaging problem for Trump who, to the shock of many, announced on Tuesday that he is running for president.

I’m sure Hillary’s been ‘bought’ for more than a wedding invite... take one look at the Russian uranium deal... that’s telling.

Trump knows he might be going back to business if this doesn’t work and he’ll have to buy the congress people all over again. I think that’s why he gave the Hillary excuse... he could have given hundreds of examples... everyone in the world knows our congress is ‘for sale’ - and to keep it from looking like bribes they ‘sell books’ or ‘give speeches’ no one attends.

It’s a croocked bunch - but they’ve made it ‘legal’ for themselves.

Ask yourself - if drug gangs were paying police chiefs $400,000 for a 45 minute speech - AND the police chiefs were looking the other way on drug dealing after the
speech’ - wouldn’t we all KNOW IT WAS A BRIBE?

Just for his guests. He doesn’t drink alcohol or coffee. Nor does he smoke

So when is Carly coming forward with her relationship (possible payment) from the Clinton Foundation?

He has a $9 billion dollar industry in New York.

He has to get permits, jump through hoops, try to pull land together to develop,...

Thousands of people rely on Donald Trump for a living. Cities, counties, states, and the Federal government counts on his businesses and employees paying taxes.

When he builds a development, it improves the area since other people invest nearby to capitalize on visitors to the area, and the money they will spend.

You can’t understand this, so you trash him for donating to people so he can have access. And access is all it is. He can’t force someone to do what he wants, but he can are least present his case.

Who was the Senator from his state, a Republican? No, it was a Democrat. Who knew?

Do you donate to candidates? If so, do you believe that prevents you from contacting their office and trying to seek help with a problem?

Since you think donating to Democrats makes him 100% Liberal, what does donating to Republicans mean? Is he 100% Republican too?

From a business standpoint, it was reasoned to donate to Clinton and Democrats as well as Republicans.

It still doesn’t mean that he shares the Clinton outlook on things.

It simply means he wants access.

The problem with some of you folks, is that you can’t grasp these dynamics. You don’t have the slightest idea what’s on the line when you run a $9 billion dollar enterprise.

That’s why he would make a good president and some of the others wouldn’t. They don’t know what the dynamics are of truly big business, meeting payrolls, and having to remain in the black.

For heaven’s sake, we wouldn’t want someone with the experience would we.

“You can’t understand this,}

well thats might be just a tad presumptuous....

“That’s why he would make a good president and some of the others wouldn’t.”

lopsided logic does not make for a good analogy BTW

...and unning a Business is Not Leading A Nation.

No, why would we want a person who actually ran a $9 billion dollar enterprise and actually understood real world economics?

That couldn’t help us in our current situation at all.

LOL

you really think trump covers all the bases involved in RUNNING a 9 billion dollar business??

Why would a Presiden....... need to Know.... how to run such a business??

Hes to execute the LAWS of the US..according to the Constitution....not RUN a Business.

Trumps entertaining.... but no Ronald Reagan....

Why would a Presiden....... need to Know.... how to run such a business?

As a chief executive of an organization, he does not handle every job in his organization.  None the less he is familiar with how each postion contributes to his overall success.  He is where the buck stops, as it ultimately relates to the bottom line.

Chief executives don't know everything, but they do know how to delegate, pull together a team, and accomplish things.

Trump has experience taking projects from the conceptual stage through to completion.

He understands how to utilize large sums of money.  He knows how to cut expenses to increase the bottom line.  He's done that sort of thing for decades.  Who better to try to get our overspending under control?  It's in his nature to reduce spending.

You honestly can't see how a person with this type of
expereince might be valuable to us?

He's to execute the LAWS of the US..according to the Constitution....not RUN a Business.

Why would him having been a Chief Executive present a conflict with him operating according to the U. S. Constitution?

He already grasps Article IV Section 4 better than any president in the last 25 years.


Trumps entertaining.... but no Ronald Reagan....


None of us knows exactly what Donald Trump is.

I can tell you he isn't the same old milk-toast Republican we've been having to deal with.
