4. Their daughters are friends, too.

Some whom I respect have speculated that Trump got in to clear the way for Hill. He immediately targeted the candidates who could have given her the most trouble, like Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, and got rid of them. I haven't seen him come down too hard on her yet.

So, if they are working in tandem, it could be because she is corporate America's choice, which could also explain the DNC and MSM promotion of her.

Just a little speculation.

9. What if Trump was urged to run to make Hillary look sane?

Her positions are terrible, but with Trump spouting racist and sexist stuff, people get scared into voting for Hillary. Trump is part of Hillary's election strategy. Bernie almost fucked it up but the DNC (and DWS) say their proverbial asses on the scales to make sure Bernie lost. He was the real one running against Hillary.

16. Do you not have any republican friends?

I have friends who are Republicans. I have friends who are not fit for office. They're fine as friends but I would never vote for them to hold office because I know they have issue that would make them unsafe in that position.

I even have family members I'd put in that category.
