Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* Sailer: I\u2019d 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\u2019t he go along with Trump\u2019s usual egotism and tell him he\u2019s better than the other Republicans.<\/p>\n

* One thing that I don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

* 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\u2019t let them denounce Cruz and they will pretend it is already forgotten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
