Is Trump Hillary’s Secret Weapon?
Donald Trump is a walking 3 Ring Circus. He has mocked the election process by alienating whole groups of people, including women and ethnic minorities. He has even spooked the entire Republican Party, causing its leaders to shake in their boots out of the very real fear they’re helpless to control him. So, it stands to reason: Is Donald Trump really Hillary Clinton’s secret weapon?
Politics
It’s a valid question conspiracy theorists have been whispering about for weeks. The thought is that Donald Trump really has no desire to be President of the United States. Instead, he has infiltrated the Republican Party and risen within the ranks to serve as a shill for Hillary Clinton. Hmmm…
The 69-year-old New York real estate mogul and unapologetic bigot continues to dominate Republican primary polls. Trump’s rapid ascent virtually out of nowhere has left GOP leaders scratching their heads in disbelief. How did this caricature of a Republican politician completely overtake more experienced and more conservative candidates like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio? Their only conclusion is that Donald Trump is in actuality a fake candidate sent on a covert mission to infiltrate and disrupt the inner workings of the GOP in order to elect Hillary Rodham Clinton POTUS.
Prior to entering the GOP race, Donald Trump reportedly had a secret phone conversation with Bill Clinton. Both men have known each other for many years and it is public knowledge that they are friends. However, neither man was willing to acknowledge what was discussed in their conversation, or that they even had one at all. That is where the idea of a conspiracy was born.
In a blog post from July 13th, anti-war activist Justin Raimondo wrote about the surprising way Trump magically stole Jeb Bush’s lead in the polls. He also argued that the timing of Trump’s entry into the presidential race could only be explained by a hidden “Democratic wrecking operation” designed to assist Clinton’s parallel campaign:
.
“Trump’s ties to the Clinton’s, his past pronouncements which are in such blatant contradiction to his current fulminations, and the cries of joy from the Clintonian gallery and the media (or do I repeat myself) all point to a single conclusion: the Trump campaign is a Democratic wrecking operation aimed straight at the GOP’s base.
Donald Trump is a false-flag candidate. It’s all an act, one that benefits his good friend Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party that, until recently, counted the reality show star among its adherents. Indeed, Trump’s pronouncements—the open racism, the demagogic appeals, the faux-populist rhetoric—sound like something out of a Democratic political consultant’s imagination, a caricature of conservatism as performed by a master actor.”

It’s an interesting theory, but could it be true? Possibly. Donald Trump is saying all the wrong things. He is pissing women off with repeated misogynistic comments. He is alienating the powerful Hispanic electorate (which the GOP has been courting for years) by threatening to end the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship and to deport illegal immigrants. However, he’s also saying all the things a large chunk of the Republican Party wishes it could say, but can’t (or won’t). With all the white racists (looking to “take their country back”) lining up behind Trump, as well as a random supporter shouting “White Power” at an Alabama rally for Trump over the weekend, it’s no wonder he’s so far ahead in the polls.
So, is Trump really a Hillary Clinton plant?
The very idea that Trump is running an elaborate interference campaign on behalf of Hillary Clinton might sound absurd, but there is just enough truth to the theory that it has caught the attention of several high-ranking members within the Republican Party.
According to voting records, Trump is currently registered as a Republican. However, in the past he has been registered as a Democrat and has frequently voted for Democratic candidates. In fact, he appears to have switched between the 2 parties at least 3 times within the past 14 years. Trump has also donated heavily to Hillary Clinton’s political campaigns in the past.
For Trump to be colluding with the Clinton’s to wreak havoc on the GOP’s 2016 primary campaign for the purpose of electing Hillary as the first female President of the United States, the entire operation would be an incredible and unprecedented moment in modern American politics.
Make no bones about it — the Republican National Committee has taken notice and is said to be running a secret war room to take out Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. At least that’s the word from Roger Stone, the former Trump political adviser who still supports him.
Stone recently told CNN that he is absolutely convinced the Republican Party is trying to knock the celebrity billionaire out of the race because he’s not the candidate of the establishment elite.
“I talk to a lot of reporters on a background, and sometimes off the record, basis. Sometimes, when I say to them, ‘Where did you get this hit piece of information on Trump?’ They’ll tell me, ‘Oh, a source at the Republican National Committee.’ Come on. This is the game. It’s the way it works,” Stone said.
The game of politics is a dirty game. It’s often a street fight without any rules. So, the idea that Donald Trump has agreed to serve as somewhat of a “Trojan Horse” to go inside the Republican primary race in order to elect Hillary might sound farfetched, but it’s also just crazy enough to be true.
What do you think?
TAKE OUR POLL:
HAH. Another good post to start the week DJ. Thank You!
I don't think he's a plant or a Trojan Horse for the Clintons….at least not in a collaborative sense.
I do think however, that Bill Clinton had a hand in all of this betting that Trump would take the bait..lol. Bill knows "the Donald" is a narcissistic megalomaniac who can't resist the *glow* of his own *greatness* or the sound of his own voice. Whatever Bill said to Trump it was enough to set Trump's Massive ego into overdrive, and in no time Trump was off to the races.
Given that Hillary and her campaign staff have handled this whole email issue so poorly, she had better thank her lucky stars that it's only because of Trump and the other patently UNqualified schmucks the Repubs have put forward as their candidates (save Kasich..and the base ain't voting for him) that her chances of beating ANY of them are still relatively good.
She does however, have to worry about Biden possibly jumping in. And I really don't think he'd be giving it serious thought if she weren't showing signs of some weakness due to her FAILURE to have simply dealt with email issue in a straightforward way from the beginning.
It comes down to sheer Arrogance…and with the Clintons, sadly, it always does.
And speaking of Trump…over the wekend 2 stories really caught my attention.
First story: Trump's rally held at the "HALF-filled" Ladd-Peebles Stadiumon in Alabama eith Friday or Saturday night. His people were expecting the place to be packed with between 36,000-46,000 supporters. Well THAT didn't happen. Further, it was reported that 15-20 percent of those who actually attended were heading for the exits 30-40 minutes into his 1 hr 20 min meandering speech. One attendee sought out a reporter and pulled him aside saying: “Somebody needs to tell that man when to shut the you-know-what up. People were leaving in droves.”
After his speech Trump decided to skip the press conference he had agreed to. He simply got on his helicopter and left.

Then THIS story broke on Sunday:
"Donald Trump attended big-donor fundraiser last month. Despite his prior pledge to self-fund his campaign, the billionaire businessman now appears to be embracing big donors." Politico
It's just a matter of WHEN? Not If. Trump is going to Self-destruct…of that I have NO doubt.
And he's taking the GOP down with him.
On a related note….
Looks like at least one Repub Oligarch, Rupert Murdoch, has seen and heard quite ENOUGH of the "best and brightest" GOP presidential candidates who are running thus far…and especially Donald Trump.
New York News & Politics: "Rupert Murdoch Wants Michael Bloomberg to Enter the 2016 Race"
In a particularly sad 2012 election subplot, Mitt Romney's effort to woo Rupert Murdoch resulted in the conservative mogul gradually registering his displeasure with the Republican nominee in a series of cryptic tweets. Apparently he'll continue the practice in 2016. Murdoch has already called Donald Trump "wrong" and "embarrassing" on Twitter, but on Sunday night he tried a more subtle attack: calling for his pal Michael Bloomberg to enter the race. […]
Suffice it to say, Trump probably sickens..if not utterly SCARES-The-H*ll-Out-Of…Oligarchs of every political persuasion!
The truth is, if the future of my country wasn't at stake, I'd be on the floor laughing uncontollably right now…smh.
Great topic again DJ. I wouldn't put it past the Clintons to have convinced Trump to go muck things up so Hilliary could win. Like DJ said Trump has voted for Dems in the past and donated to Hillary before too. It's also the type of strategy that's just sneaky enough for the Clintons to pull off. Trump is a real estate man. He would have to give up a lot of things if he became president and I don't think he wants to do that. So I think there could be something to all this. Only time will tell.
Here's an interesting soundbite from Republican advisor Alex Castellanos on Donald Trump:
"The great weaknesses of the narcissistic candidate are his love of power and addiction to risk. If Donald Trump blows up a real estate deal, he loses the Empire State Building. If President Trump blows up our relationship with Russia, he could start World War III. Trump is selling us his swashbuckling, deal-making style. In the end, it will doom him."
My recent post Christians And Same-Sex Marriage
"In the end, it will doom him."
Yes indeed. It's coming.
Thanks for sharing that soundbite DJ. One of those incredibly rare instances that I find myself in total agreement with a Repub.
Donald Trump is a dick. If you look up dick in the dictionary you'll see him. I don't trust Trump and I wouldn't be surprised if he was working for the Clinton's.
@DJ, BD and RWG- Now you guys have me considering (just a bit) the possibility that Trump actually IS in bed with the Clintons.
It wouldn't be beneath well…any of them. I guess time WILL tell.
But whatever the truth is, the GOP is screwed.
I will be honest and tell you that I haven't been keeping close tabs on all of it but I started reading some articles this evening. After a few of them regarding Trump, I started wondering to myself if he is really a democrat and wants Clinton to win. Maybe he thought the only way for that to happen was use his money and fame to run and then drop out at the end when it was too late. Then I thought to myself, "oh come on now, that is crazy, that couldn't really happen." The very next article was this one! So I'm not crazy!! Many people are thinking the same thing! So my next thought is, if he is a trogen horse (I'm still undecided if I believe that), than do we really want Clinton as a president either if she is that destructive and underhanded to get what she wants? Hmmm… Definitely an election year to be talked about frequently in the future.
