Stone added: "I care about you as a friend and wish you well. Be assured I will continue to be vocal and active in the national debate to ensure our nation does not again turn to the failed and distrusted Bush/Clinton families."


I've always suspected that the only reason Trump is in this is because he hates the Bush family and is determined not to let Jeb win. I don't believe he wants to be President at all. He just wants to keep the other clowns out. I think he actually wants Hillary in. If that is what he is doing, then his plan is pretty ingenious.

Bill Clinton talked with him AT LENGTH and convinced him to run. What does that tell you?

This has got to be the biggest political coup in recent American history.

The complete and utter destruction of a major political party from the inside out.

to in order to run as a Republican. Then again, it is hard to tell with Trump because I doubt he really thinks anyone is as good as himself. And he can turn on people in an instant.

I also recall him being friends with Martha Stewart who supported Democrats.

I suspect the MSM will be all a-flutter but Trump's supporters will ignore it.
