72. Trump Their To Make Jeb Appear The Reasonable Choice

Sat Aug 8, 2015, 08:40 PM

Aug 2015

Its all a charade. Wall St already picked Jeb and Hillary who are about as close allies as one can have. Everything now is positioning and pivoting. Trump entered to defuse Rand Paul and make Jeb look like a moderate. Bernie is the true insurgent candidate and they will do everything they can to derail him. Jeb and Hillary take every opportunity to validate each other by talking as if the other was the inevitable candidate. Nothing could be more disgusting and repulsive than another Clinton/Bush general election. They should both be sent packing by their own parties. What a joke that some people still think its OK to have this kind of nepotism by two families that have enabled each other from the start.
