Donald Trump Endorsed Hillary Clinton for President or VP in 2008 (HRC GP)

http://hinterlandgazette.com/2015/12/trump-endorsed-hillary-clinton-for-president-or-vp-in-2008.html

The Donald Trump Republican fable continues to crumble. Buzzfeed uncovered a 2008 blog post written by Trump in which he endorsed Hillary Clinton for president or vice president.
Trump wrote in the March 13, 2008, post, “Hillary Clinton said she’d consider naming Barack Obama as her vice-president when she gets the nomination, but she’s nowhere near a shoo-in.” “For his part, Obama said he’s just focused on winning the nomination, although at least one member of his team said Clinton would make a good vice-president. (I know Hillary, and I think she’d make a great president or vice-president.)”

No wonder Hillary Clinton isn’t backing down from taking on Trump’s penchant for straight up bullsh*t. He is an opportunist who will do and say whatever he thinks is right to get what he wants. No matter how despicable. Donald Trump is unfit for the presidency. His talking points are based on whatever fits his business model and nothing else.

Kind of a double-edged sword though. Who would even want his endorsement? BobbyDrake May 2016 #3

To convince people he is national leader and not just a clownish simpleton...

I know it's just being cited as an example of his constant inconsistency, but still.

The media hangs on every word Trump says. I can imagine what he would say when asked about his endorsement and it isn't pretty.

If he says "She's awful!" Then just play or show him saying "I know her! She's great. Would be a great President!"
