Except that, in the case of Trump, all available evidence indicates that he's not even a Republican, much less a conservative. He has, however, been in bed with the Clintons for decades. Suddenly, he decides to step out of the shadows and into the GOP nomination race with illegal immigration as his signature issue, after years of abject silence on the matter. When he does that, thousands of GOP primary voters line up behind this guy, dividing the vote of the party, all to the complete benefit of Hitlery Clinton, his political client was of long standing.  Pardon me for thinking that the Clintons have found a way to make this look easy. Theirs is an almost "can't lose" strategy at this point.

If I were to describe what you probably think of Donald Trump, it would go something like this.

He's brash, insulting, self-centered, egotistical, narcisistic, rude...

Another words, he's in it for himself.

He has donated to the Clintons.  He's had pictures taken with them.  They even came to one of his weddings.

Knowing what we know about the man, what does that tell you?

Does it tell you he was ideologically connected to them at the hip?  This is a man too busy to be with his own family, but all of a sudden he's there to support the Clintons because he's ideologically one with them.

Trump had many guests at his wedding.  I'll bet some Republicans were there too.  Being in the New York area, there may not have been many highly visible ones, but I'll bet some were there.

We know that he donated very large sums of money to Republicans too.  It was on the record.

So what do we make of this?

Where the Clintons at his wedding because he supported them, or is it more likely they were there as window dressing to make him look more important?

One day folks are telling me Trump is always in it for himself.  The next day they tell me he was selfless and in it just to support the political policies of the Clinton's.

I suggest folks use these tactics to their best advantage, until they listen to Trump for the first time, hear what he has to say on issues very important to you and I.

Then maybe they'll see Trump as a guy who has had to sit down and address issues he didn't have time to address before.  And maybe they'll like what they hear.

He’s not necessarily connected with the Clinton at the hip because of their ideology, it’s because it serves his purposes for self-promotion. He doesn’t have a deal with them because they’re buddies, but because he makes deals and plan B’s wherever he goes. Looking on the outside, a deal here makes perfect sense. Hillary is the biggest winner with his continued candidacy.

I don’t know who told you he was selflessly supporting Clinton, but that would be the first person that I’ve heard using selfless to describe him. If he supports Clinton, it’s because it benefits himself in some way.

The reason he didn't have time, it would appear, is that his political ally of long-standing, Hitlery Clintoon, didn't really need his help until now. Now that she does need help in dividing the GOP base in order to be elected president, The Donald suddenly has the time to formulate some positions on issues that he couldn't have cared less about before, but which have always been important to conservative American taxpayers.

And maybe they'll like what they hear.

Yeah...I'm pretty sure that Hitlery is counting on that. This gambit by Clinton and Trump just wouldn't work otherwise.
