OMG the Echo Chamber is really, REALLY getting desperate to stop the Trumpster from rolling over the Oligarch’s choices for Republican Primary (Bush, Walker, Rubio.)
They are now digging up the infamous “Anonymous Sources” to sling mud at Trump (via Clinton, a TWO-FER!)
Sad isn’t it.
$20 bucks says its the first question the “moderator” asks Trump. “Are you now, or have you ever talked on the phone with Bill Clinton!”

I’m sure the NY Times will have more on this story. Much more, then a little less, then even less, then a discussion by the public editor why they wouldn’t change a thing except for most of the words in their original story.

Maybe it was Trump’s hair that reached out rather than the Donald himself. I’d take that call. Imagine the stories it could tell.

I mean, not that you have to be the sharpest political mind of your generation to figure out all it would take is a little ego stroking to persuade him to plow into the GOP like an out of control Indy car in the stands.

“Former President Bill Clinton encouraged Donald Trump to become more involved in GOP politics….”

Sort of like encouraging John Wayne Gacy to become more involved in children’s charities.

Another fucked up click bait headline from TPM

**The Post relied on four anonymous Trump insiders and one unnamed Clinton employee, who said Clinton called Trump back after the real estate mogul had reached out to him.
The Post’s Robert Costa and Anne Gearan wrote:

  • The tone of the call was informal and Clinton never urged Trump to
    run, the four people said. Rather, they said, Clinton sounded curious
    about Trump’s moves toward a presidential bid and told Trump that he
    was striking a chord with frustrated conservatives and was a rising
    force on the right. The Clinton employee, meanwhile, told The Post,
    "we can tell you that the presidential race was not discussed.”**

Here is how the story is repotted at Political Wire

  • ***Trump Consulted Clinton Before Announcing Bid

    August 5, 2015By Taegan Goddard21 Comments Bill Clinton “had a
    private telephone conversation in late spring with Donald Trump at
    the same time that the billionaire investor and reality-television
    star was nearing a decision to run for the White House,” the
    Washington Post reports.

    “Four Trump allies and one Clinton associate familiar with the
    exchange said that Clinton encouraged Trump’s efforts to play a
    larger role in the Republican Party and offered his own views of the
    political landscape.”***
