So Hillary controls Trump? Is Trump throwing the election?



Hillary camp was oh so sure that this debate was 'not going to happen' when it didn't appear she had any say in the situation.

Then the next thing you know, Trump backs out.

Either he is chicken, or he is under Hillary's thumb.

He has acted like such a moron, I always suspected he might be throwing it.

One thing for certain, though, is that Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Oil, and Big Agro can live with either Clinton or Trump; they cannot let anyone like Bernie Sanders into the White House because it might make the population actually believe that a global corporate ruled world isn't a foregone conclusion, might make the dangerous masses believe that there is actually an outside to the system as it is.

and spent 7 solid years of daily attacks against President Obama, Is now all in for Hillary Clinton.

Is this wondrous support for Hillary by all the news people and pundits not ringing every bill that her donor list didn't already ring?

Is victimhood really her basic issue? Is that what it boils down to? Vote for Hillary, they've treated her mean for so long . . . . . .. .

That's when her favorabilities really went up. There were lots of great articles about her and what a great woman she was. I think you are making up the history you want to believe.

him. Even Mr. tough guy Donald Trump chickens out at the thought of facing Bernie on a stage mano a mano. Cluck, cluck, cluck.

I hope some MSM will give him an hour for a debate all by himself so that the public can see what the other chicken sh*t candidates are afraid of.

So many times I thought Romney was throwing it. He was not. Republican / moron can be used interchangeably in most cases.
