Is Donald Trump, friend of Clinton the big planned hoax to make her the sure winner?

[ViseGrip]

It's sure looks that way.

The media GAVE him half a billion in free 'earned' media. OMG! Look at Trump go! Can't stop him! Blah blah. Now they have all changed their tunes, in unison. That is not real.

I think what we are witnessing is the biggest hoax in America today! Reality TV Campaign with the reality TV's finest, and friend of the Clinton's. Now they want him gone. Funny....this all stinks of a hoax.

Imagine, if the people elect Trump, because it backfired. Backfire on the Clinton's, the Democratic Party, and our entire Congress.

This has been nothing more than reality TV. American's have been had.
Bernie, will not be berned.....Bernie is going to win!

9. Its like they've created a new ...

... stage of grief ... "fantastical thinking".

[JaneyVee]

10. The 6th stage: all previous 5 simultaneously.

[ViseGrip]

22. You, are full of it! Ignore the media hyping him into first place. Why would they

do that for the least qualified? Why did they not cover the worst of Trump and get rid of him? Why now, when all the contenders for the repubs are gone, ensuring a cake walk for Hillary?

Just saying, it's not going to be a cake walk. What the media did was dangerous. They created a reality based TV campaign. Now they want to undo this. But they forgot, they fed this to a reality based TV society. They knew it would work, until they don't want it to.
So....I'll play it the way I see it. Ignore all the family get togethers and golf. And this....

yes, blame the OP. Ignore the ones who have made their own history.

[JaneyVee]

28. The media covers him because he is the crazy Republican frontrunner.

[grossproffit]

11. I think they should rename this part of the forum La La Land.

[JoePhilly]

13. Its like a nature preserve of crazy.

[grossproffit]

14. I didn't even notice the OP's closing line "Bernie, will not be berned.....Bernie is going to win!"

[JoePhilly]

16. So many of these OPs ...

... are packed full of bite sized chunks of crunchy crazy morsels.

[Stuckinthebush]

20. Ok that wins the day!

GDP. A crazy preserve and virtual petting zoo.

[JoePhilly]

26. But be careful, some of these thing will bite your head off.

I had one ranting at me and calling me stupid earlier today.

[Surya Gayatri]

24. I prefer "Slough of Despond" w/ a nod to John Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress".

The Slough of Despond (/ˈslaʊ əv dᵻˈspɒnd/; "swamp of despair&quot is a deep bog in John Bunyan's allegory The Pilgrim's Progress, into which the protagonist Christian sinks under the weight of his sins and his sense of guilt for them.

It is described in the text:

'This miry Slough is such a place as cannot be mended; it is the descent whither the scum and filth that attends conviction for sin doth continually run, and therefore is it called the Slough of Despond: for still as the sinner is awakened about his lost condition, there ariseth in his soul many fears, and doubts, and discouraging apprehensions, which all of them get together, and settle in this place; and this is the reason of the badness of this ground.'[1]

30. +1, a lot of these people are allowed to drive cars on public roads... sigh

[LexVegas]

2. I am loving this shit.

[brooklynite]

3. Another waste of an OP

[Trust Buster]

4. No, Sanders lost of his own accord.

[grossproffit]

8. But, It's Bernie's TURN!

[grossproffit]

5. OMG! GET THE INSANE PROGRESSIVE ON THIS NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[workinclasszero]

17. LOL!

Crazy Debbie will have a report on the grand conspiracy soon no doubt!

[Dr Hobbitstein]

12. I don't have enough tin foil to consider this. Nt

[JaneyVee]

18. AT YOUR SERVICE!

[Dr Hobbitstein]

36. I'm not sure that'll do. nt

[NWCorona]

15. ...

[Onlooker]

19. Maybe Donald and Bernie plotted to ensure that there's a white worshiped, gun loving president? n/t

[Fumesucker]

21. It might have started that way but Trump's way too much of an egotist to turn down attention

Hell, he's hit the mother lode of attention and is basking in it, he's as likely to give that up as a tweaker to stop doing meth.

[joshcryer]

33. Yep.

My guess, Bill gave Trump visions of grandeur, which he went with. Beyond that, Trump is not magnanimous. If it happened, Trump got played, hard.

[emulatorloo]

23. No. He's in it to win it.

[cali]

25. Ridiculous conspiracy theories are ridiculous

[ViseGrip]

40. Oh what a relief. Then I can believe Trump on no more war, trade, and expanding healthcare.

cool.

[PowerToThePeople]

27. High treason.

[Waiting For Everyman]

29. With such non-stop manipulators in both parties

the question naturally arises. This whole landscape looks mighty fishy. There isn't much I would put past this establishment. (Btw, it was reported that Trump got more than $2 billion in free advertising, as of a month ago.)

It is very convenient, that the Goldwater Girl may happen to end up running against someone who just happens to stir up such FEAR as a motivator for people to vote for her, knowing her own super high disapproval rating. What did Goldwater lose on again? Why yes, it was fear of him! And HRC and Trump are such good social friends, their daughters are besties.

I don't think the hoax scenario is at all outside the realm of possibility, knowing some things such types have already done. Is it weirder than a phony war? I think not. We've had 2+ of those just in my lifetime.

I'm with you, ViseGrip, I think it's more likely than not, just going by objective observation.

As to most of the responses here, scoffers aren't thinkers. They are the LAST to know what's going on.

Most certainly, this will be an interesting kabuki to watch play out.

[Codeine]

31. Apostrophes; figure them out. nt

[joshcryer]

32. If so it'd be the greatest political calculation in history.

In history. If Bill convinced Trump to run, and he did, then it is the greatest political manipulation in history. Full stop.

[runaway hero]

34. This has been known for a while

http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/bill-clinton-called-donald-trump-ahead-campaign-launch

Of course Bill denied it.
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/bill-clinton-denies-calling-donald-trump-2016-run-stephen-colbert-214499


Him and Bill had a talk. Unsurprisingly, Trump and Hillary are two of the most unpopular people in America. You tell me what happened.

[NorthCarolina]

35. It is all Kabuki Theater. A TV show for the masses operating in a bubble, while

outside, back in the real world, Bernie Sanders continues to challenge the establishment.

[RockaFowler]

37. Do you mean Kabuki??

What is Kabubi Theater??

[NorthCarolina]

39. Yes...

no spell check in the subject line, so no red squiggly line to alert me before hitting "post".

[kgnu_fan]

38. It is called co-dependency..... they need each other.

[Sheepshank]

it is not serving you well.
