Trump is either a communist or a fascist, I haven't quite figured it out. Either way, i initially thought he was in the race to help Jeb Bush seem moderate by comparison. I'm now convinced that he's there to derail the Republicans. When he first conceived the idea of running, it was probably about his brand and name recognition. Once he announced his candidacy and started spewing xenophobia, I think most political observers were shocked to some degree by how much his message resonated.

Trump's message has resonated so much that there's no longer any question of indirectly aiding Bush's candidacy by making him seem normal by comparison. If Trump runs as an independent, the Republican candidate has no chance and Hilary wins. If Trump wins the Republican nomination, Hilary wins. I'm personally astounded by the brilliance of the Clintons in convincing their dear friend Donald Trump to launch a faux candidacy which practically ensures that Hilary will be our next president.

Also, how politically inept is the Bush family at this point? GHW thought he could be re-elected after "read my lips, no new taxes?" Jeb Bush thought he could be elected president after 9/11?

I think you mean "Iraq" and "the Great Recession and accompanying bailout of billionaires with taxpayer money". 9/11 was the best thing that ever happened to the Bushes, except perhaps for Daddy Bush rising to CIA director and 33rd degree freemason during the MKULTRA batshit era of the agency.

This would make a lot of sense but for one thing.

The only thing better than having a President who owes you big is being a president who owes nobody anything. Does Lord TRUMP seem like the man to make small plays to you?

The cyclical boom-bust economy is a feature of capitalism, not a bug. Has Trump called the Bush family out for the Iraq war or for failing to protect America during 9/11? What happened to Jeb's poll numbers afterward? The absence of WMDs in Iraq certainly doesn't help Jeb's candidacy, but everyone knows Dubya took an unusual, extended vacation after assuming office where he received intel regarding the attacks and failed to act on it. Everybody knows he was at a photo op failing to lead the country while Americans were burning to death in New York and another hijacked plane was inbound to D.C.

Certainly not. I doubt he got into it thinking "I could do Hilary a favor." He thinks he can win, but he can't.

I find the lack of Bernie Sanders in this thread disturbing.
