Related: About this forumDonald 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.htmlThe 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 shed consider naming Barack Obama as her vice-president when she gets the nomination, but shes nowhere near a shoo-in. For his part, Obama said hes 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 shed make a great president or vice-president.)
No wonder Hillary Clinton isnt backing down from taking on Trumps 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.

(9,263 posts)1. Trump own words will continue to derail his efforts
To convince people he is national leader and not just a clownish simpleton...

Just perfect!

(2,542 posts)3. Kind of a double-edged sword though. Who would even want his endorsement?
I know it's just being cited as an example of his constant inconsistency, but still.

(10,014 posts)4. It would be an opening for Trump to say something belittling about Hillary
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.
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)6. But it works after he's said something that contradicts this
If he says "She's awful!" Then just play or show him saying "I know her! She's great. Would be a great President!"
