2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI would like to know what others think about this:
Hillary and Bill are in a pic with the Trumps at their wedding they are laughing and having a good time. They look like good friends.
Trump donated much to Clinton.
Trumps daughter and Hillary's daughter are best friends.
How is Trump and Hillary going to attack each other? I think the above connections would make it difficult for them to attack each other.

Clinton happens to be more acceptable a candidate on (domestic) social issues.

(5,792 posts)What if Trump decided to run (he is a shrewd salesman) to help Hillary win the nomination because he will make it look like he is a jerk and will lose. Was there a deal with Bill and Donald.
That has crossed my mind. Some one here today mentioned about Obama putting Trump down at that dinner. And Bill was mad that Hillary lost last time real bad mad. So maybe since Trump was mad and Bill was mad they devised this as some one said Kabuki Theater. I would not put it past Trump. He would love to do something like this. He loves challenges. All a possible ploy to make sure Hillary did not have a opponent that would cause her to lose. Bernie was a surprise. More like a shock they did not expect. So in order for their elite plan to work to deceive the public they then had to get rid of Bernie and so corrupted the election process with all the reports we have witnessed....Just some thoughts.

(15,139 posts)nasty things about each other on the campaign trail to fire up the faithful. But it's all just political theatre. I'm sure that behind closed doors whatever friendship they've already established will continue. They both know it's only business.

(3,017 posts)I'm sure you've seen pictures of them together after both of their presidencies yucking it up. There have been some posted at DU.
And of course, George W. Bush refers to Bill Clinton as his "brother from another mother" and there are plenty of pictures of the two of them having a good time.
I am reminded of this great scene from The Wire:
