I don't know how much more obvious Trump's role as the Ross Perot of 2016 can get, Tea Party Trumpsters. If you're willing to dismiss Hillary's husband doing the legwork of getting the OTHER Big Me into the race on the ostensible GOP side, then you're frankly not Republicans or conservatives or constitutionalists, but have, wittingly or unwittingly, defected to the other side:
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…
Trump took the call from his office in Trump Tower in New York, according to the four allies, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly. The call came as Trump was making a final decision about whether to run, and he was candid about his political ambitions and his potential interest in seeking the White House during the talk, these allies said.
The forty-second president listened intently and then analyzed Trump’s prospects and his desire to "rouse the GOP base," the Trump allies said. [emphasis added]
i.e. Turn it against the GOP itself.
The tone of the call was informal and Clinton never urged Trump to run, the four people said.
Mule fritters. He didn't have to directly urge Trump to run; he just had to push the right buttons - ones he knows intimately:
Rather, they said, Clinton sounded curious about Trump’s moves toward a presidential bid and told Trump that he was striking a chord with frustrated conservatives and was a rising force on the right. [emphasis added]
A rising force AGAINST the right like a Trojan Horse in its very midst.
This latest revelation of Clinton-Trump collusion ought to speak for itself. But there is that inate, universal human disinclination, borne of pride, to admit that one has been made into an utter and complete sucker. So I'll yield the floor to Allahpundit:
Trump likes the Clintons. He’s given them campaign money. He invited them to his wedding. Why wouldn’t he turn to the husband of the next Democrat presidential nominee, himself a former Democrat president, for advice on running to oppose her in the general election? And why wouldn’t Clinton encourage him? You know Bill — always looking out for the conservative base....
The first rule of political hero worship is that the hero can do no wrong.
No matter how "very, very establishment" he really is.
