"....In 2012, as Obama was running for re-election, Trump called Clinton "terrific" again in an interview with Fox News, saying she performed well as Secretary of State.

"Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman," he told Greta Van Susteren. "I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she's given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her."

And on Fox and Friends on Wednesday, Trump explained why he donated to Clinton's campaigns.

"I'm a businessman. I contribute to everybody," Trump said. "When I needed Hillary, she was there. If I say 'go to my wedding,' they go to my wedding."... When Donald Trump Praised Hillary Clinton

Trump Doesn't Represent the Conservative Base - ".........Which brings me to Donald Trump, the new leader of a very loud "silent majority." I keep hearing that Trump poses a grave threat to the GOP because he pits "the conservative base" against the presumably more liberal "GOP establishment."

The first part is true: He does pose a threat to the GOP. But are the labels right? For starters, the so-called "establishment" is more conservative than any time in GOP history.

Until Trump descended his golden escalator, the "conservative base" generally referred to committed pro-lifers and other social conservatives. The term also suggested people who were for very limited government, strict adherence to the Constitution, etc. Most of all, it described people who called themselves "very conservative."

While it's absolutely true that Trump draws support from people who fit such descriptions, it's far from the entirety of Trump's following. According to polls, Trump draws heavily from more secular Republicans who are more likely to describe themselves as "liberal" or "moderate" than "conservative" or "very conservative." Ted Cruz draws more exclusively from the traditional base.

And I would argue that his "very conservative" followers aren't supporting Trump because he's a conservative but because he's a walking, talking thumb in the eyes of "elites" in the media and both parties........

With the exception of a few single-issue voters on immigration, Trump fans love him for his enemies and for his populist bombast, not for any specific principles. In other words, he divides the GOP more up-down than he does left-right.

Trump defenders can rightly point to the fact that he draws support from a wide swath of voters. Critics can rightly point out that he draws animosity from an even wider swath of voters. But neither should go around talking about how Trump represents the conservative base."

So now (that is, TODAY) Trump is scaring the crap out of Hillary and Dems. Gov. Ed Rendell said Trump appeals to "thoughtful, reasonable people" in the Dem Parrty and cover story on Drudge says Dems clueless how to deal with him. "Hillary is no longer laughing."

BWA hahaha.

In 2012, Cincinatus Wife called rick perry, terrific, in 2015, called scottwalker terrific, events change but you remain the same.

Did riding the short bus to school have that much negative impact on your mind?
