I've been saying this for a while now, but no one seems to believe me, perhaps because it seems too incredible.
I believe you, because I"ve also said it a plenty. Bill Clinton was a marginal candidate in 1992, against a sitting President, war hero, and long serving member of Congress and prior Administration cabinets. He was facing a President with an 80% approval rating, who was arguably the victor in a recent war. Clinton needed help. He needed an ace the the hole. He need to rile up the electorate, and convince them that they were in the "worst economy in 50 years".
Enter Ross Perot. Long time Southern Democrat, just down the road from Clinton's "good ol' boy" Arkansas. He was a LONG time FOB, and by golly, Perot was a folksy reformer who was gonna solve all those post office problems. He was also a successful $Billionaire, who had ton's of free media eating out of the palm of his hand.
2016, and Hillary is following the worst President in modern times. She's got email scandals to worry about, dead men in Benghazi with LIVE MEN still around to tell American's about it all. She's in a real pickle.
Enter Donald Trump, long time FOB, $Billionaire, lifelong progressive and usually Democrat, erstwhile "reformer", populist, pseudo-Republican, and boy-oh-boy, is he gonna make America great again. Does that pattern ring a bell?
Having succeeded beyond his wildest dream, Trump still has an agreement to keep with the kind of people who you don't break agreements with, if ya know what I mean.
Trump is to Hillary what Perot was to Bill. He's Hillary's ticket to the White House. It worked the first time, and it's working even better the second time.
Yes, a Trumpkin could say I'm wearing my tin foil hat today, and be quite accurate in that description. However, why is Trump trying so hard to throw the election to Hillary? How does it benefit Trump, if she win's and he does not? I'm not sure, but there is certainly a benefit and an agreement there somewhere.
It's the only logical explanation.
