Now if you were a true sadist, you'd wish a Clinton presidency upon the states. The more anti-American my sentiment, the more I start wishing for old Cankles to succeed in the election. And I love her voter base.

All he stands for trolling the "liberal establishment", then?

I don't see any great choices facing Americans in this election. It's like, Put a Knife in the Toaster, or Eat a Bullet. Check one.

Maybe you can start with 'non-bipartisan', seeing as you're implying that being pro-Trump means being pro-Republican. Not that my comments can strictly be construed pro-Trump, more being appalled at the standard of the rhetoric against him.

I'd love to able to hear the exact words in the phone call

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.

One person with knowledge of Clinton’s end of the call said the former president was upbeat and encouraging during the conversation, which occurred as Trump was speaking out about GOP politics and his prescriptions for the nation.

I don't say that at all. Am rather puzzled why you'd jump to that conclusion.

So you see him as a 3rd party candidate, or an independent? Even though he's trying to get onto the Republican ballot? There are conservative commentators already saying that the party could split in two, but I'm not sure how realistic that is.

Perhaps the fact that you seem to assume I care how Bush compares to Obama?

Establishment here seems to mean both GOP and Democrat.

You can run as a democrat or republican and still be anti-establishment, which I think is the point. The general view is that Rubio is the GOP "establishment" choice, and that Trump was never meant to happen. Alternatively, for those who think they have Trump's rubric figured, some libertarians such as Ron Paul seem to think otherwise:

And Trump, a 1%er with inherited wealth, sketchy business dealings, the KKK thing, media icon of 30+ years... he's not "establishment"? He's doing quite a snow job on his supporters. What do they expect him to do to destroy "The Establishment" once he's in office? That's the mystery to me.
