The Post said anonymous sources familiar with Trump's side of the call described Clinton as being attentive and encouraging of Trump's desire to wade deeper into politics, though a Clinton source said a 2016 bid was not formally discussed.

Video: Is this a 'demon' racing in front of Obama?

“My husband and I were watching this and I told him I saw a demon run by,” a concerned woman told WND.

“He didn’t believe until I rewound the video. Please take a look!”

Pretty sad state of affairs when she has to hitch her wagon to the Trump train to get attention now.

Why is the first thing in this article a picture of Obama with a fly on his face? What is that supposed to mean?

Beelzebub. Longstanding far right bullshit about Obama being a harbinger of the anti Christ.

Quote
Former president Bill Clinton had a private telephone conversation in late spring with Donald Trump at the same time that the billionaire investor and reality-television star was nearing a decision to run for the White House, according to associates of both men.

Four Trump allies and one Clinton associate familiar with the exchange said that Clinton encouraged Trump’s efforts to play a larger role in the Republican Party and offered his own views of the political landscape.

That's pretty amazing if it actually triggered his campaign. Why would he think Trump would listen to the husband of the democratic frontrunner?

Live blog of the loser debate:

5:07 PM: The painful subtext of every question, even from the Foxbot questioners, seems to be 'You're really unpopular and your campaign is a joke, why are you even running?' Pretty hard to come back with a good answer on that.

5:09 PM: For the over 40 crowd, the debate stage here has a vague feeling of the 70s era Love Boat. Vaguely entertaining, but mostly 'Oh yeah, what ever happened to that guy.' Yeah, I'm looking at you George Pataki.

5:10 PM: Wow, question for Jim Gilmore is the most brutal yet. Basically "Jim Gilmore, why the F are you even running?" Not a bad question. Think I'm kidding? "You were the last person on stage to declare your candidacy. You ran for the white house once and lost. You ran for the senate one time and lost. You haven't held public office in 13 years. Similar question, is it time for new blood?"

5:20 PM: If you're not watching this debate you're missing nothing. The crushing weight of the irrelevance of the candidates overwhelms every word.

Sounds every bit as a amazing as everyone knew it would be!

Yeah, he seems somewhat decent, but if he got the nod, he'd end up moving to the nutjob side of the right like all of the GOP nominees eventually do.

It's like he knew he was walking into an ambush and came wearing teflon, and then he's just :bolo the whole time. It is really disturbing but I laugh.

And then he calls himself a Reagan for flip-flopping, which is better than another Bush that gave us Obama amirite (and people are loving this shit).

Could Trump be more than just the usual kooky ephemeral frontrunners who trip themselves a few weeks after having grabbed attention ?
If so it's very worrying for the state of the electorate. I guess that the tried and tested Bush name will win the day at the end as the respectable candidate, but the moderate position will have veered off hard in la-la land by that point.

It's what happened in California from ~1978 to 2012, but writ large and in an institution that doesn't have any direct democracy to counteract the cynical politicking. (In California we eventually broke the back of white minority rule at the state level by passing a referendum.) Shit's not funny, it stopped being funny around the time the GOP tried to play chicken with the debt ceiling and plunging the world into god only knows what kind of chaos. And these people only win more elections too.

Seemed pretty clear the fix was in on Trump. If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd question the booing he got during some of his answers.

Kasich, Christie, and Rubio did the best IMO. Gotta dap Christie for the smooth, Clinton esque 911 hugs retort to Paul lol. That shit made me bust out laughing, but I can just imagine a republican (or Benji :uguu) slow clapping and saluting the tv screen.

I knew I wasn't conservative, but tonight just really drilled it in. NOTHING said was something  I agreed with. Just insanity.
