* Sailer: I’d hardly be surprised if Bill Clinton encouraged Trump to run. They had a phone conversation about a month before Trump announced his candidacy. Bill Clinton probably likes Trump on a golf buddy level more than he likes Jeb or Rubio or Walker or whomever, so why wouldn’t he go along with Trump’s usual egotism and tell him he’s better than the other Republicans.
* One thing that I don’t often see mentioned is one obvious similarity between Clinton and Trump: as different as they are in so many ways, they are perhaps the greatest natural politicians of our era.
* I wonder where Ben Shapiro and Mike Levin will be on this? They have endlessly attacked Trump for not being a true conservative or not supporting the Constitution and they are Cruz supporters. Of course Shapiro has cried about his boorish behavior. My guess is their neoconism won’t let them denounce Cruz and they will pretend it is already forgotten.
