Fresh document trove sheds light on Clinton-Trump ties

Just because Trump hob knobs with the hoi polloi at the top echelons of the city, state and federal government, the media, and big business doesn’t mean he isn’t an anti-establishment outsider leading a revolution for the common man, amirite?

So do the Koch Brothers or Nathan Adelson or Steve Wynn give to LIBERAL DEMOCRATS like Loud Mouth did?

Trump bashing Hillary is just the usual Kabuki theater.

Would you invite the Clintons to your wedding?

Well, I agree with all that and only parts figuratively.

This guy is a real problem.

As Donald Trump calls out the GOP for it's corrupt behavior, and the Bernie Sanders camp is fighting to take back the delegates that Clinton has purchased.........is there any wonder why America's Veterans have organized such a massive movement to restore our representative government? I hear people tell me all kinds of things, most of which they truly believe. Most of which, I just respond with kindness and let them know when they are ready for real change, we will be here, and we are a strength that most will not understand for a long time. We are Of the People, By the People, and For the People, a group of selfless servants that truly understand what an oath means. It is not about lip service and winning votes. It is about taking a stand for what is right, taking a stand for liberty and justice for all Americans. When you finally realize that the two parties are too cancerous and corrupt at the top to be saved. We will be here, ready to do what needs to be done. There is a ton of work and we are always looking for additional leaders that can provide workable and Constitutional solutions to the very real problems we face. This is about uniting the divided nation. This is about bringing government back to the People, where it belongs. When you are ready, just remember this. ‪#‎IAMSOMEONE‬ and so are you, together ‪#‎WEARETHESOLUTION‬ www.ChrisKeniston2016.com www.VeteransPartyofAmerica.org www.vpofa.org

Hob nobbin with the Clinton’s, primary reason I have a difficult time trusting Trump.

Stupid story of more interest would be Trump calling Bill Clinton before he declared, or his Clinton Foundation donations.

“The files come at a sensitive time in the Republican presidential race, and could be used by Trump’s top rival Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to paint the billionaire businessman as too closely tied to the Clinton family...”

Translation: Judson Berger, a third-rate Soros neo-facsist hack, found a nothing-burger that he hopes he can fry into a shit-sandwich and force Trump to eat it.

Trump raised his kids to be Democrats. That says it all.

Republican voters are battered, that much is true, but it is Crooz supporters who are suffering from stockholm syndrome, in love with their establishment captors.

Released by whom specifically? Or by whose directive? And why now?

It's in the article:

The National Archives said they had reviewed a batch of several FOIA requests, for which they planned to release more than 9,000 pages. Regarding the Trump files request, the record-keepers said just three pages would be restricted. The FOIA request itself came from BuzzFeed ..... < snip >
..... The documents released Tuesday also reflect the Clinton White House's interest in Trump's flirtation back in 1999 and 2000 with a third-party presidential run.
One internal White House email in early 2000 among staff notes that Trump "has his eye on the big JOB." Another from November 1999 forwards an Associated Press article detailing then-potential candidate Trump's proposal for a one-time 14.25 percent tax on the net worth of wealthy Americans. ..... < snip >
..... FoxNews.com has asked the Cruz and Trump campaigns for comment on the Clinton documents. Neither campaign has yet weighed in. ..... < snip >

Little more on Trumps-Clintons ties and Trumps-Democrats ties (including Ivanka and their extended family, Kushners) : The son-in-law also rises: For Jared Kushner, championing Trump marks break with Democratic past - Kushner Cos. CEO was an active donor to liberal politicians in NJ, NY - FR, posts #75, #81, 2015 April 07

So, Little doubt about Trump being a big-tax / big-tariffs / big-government authoritarian Democrat / third-party (which can be hijacked with little money and effort, especially for rich celebrity) guy...

And his constant — since the beginning of campaign — threats that if he is not "treated fairly" (which could mean anything at any given time, and provide an out for Trump if/when things don't go his way) he could go third party (supposedly damaging Republican chances, particularly down-ticket) that he keeps trying to use as a leverage over Republican primary voters, show that he is in it only for his ego, his brand, and has very tenuous relationship with conservative or Tea Party movement, but will say anything he thinks "we" want to hear to get the nomination :

Cruz is the one who has the establishment by the gonads.

It’s seldom mentioned that Trump offered to run as the vice-presidential candidate for GHW Bush in 1988.

Thanks, I didn’t know that, but I am not surprised. Humility is not Trump’s strong suit.
