politics and politicians Title: Exclusive — Donald Trump: Hillary Only ‘Being Nice to Obama’ Because She ‘Wants to Get Protected’ from Looming Indictment Trumps comments came in response to a question about his thoughts on former President Bill Clinton, Hillarys husband, calling President Obamas administration an awful legacy in a Spokane, Washington, speech last week. If he said that, Hillary will be indicted, Trump said of Bill Clintons remarks on Obamas administration. In all fairness, thats incredible, because I think shes being nice to Obama for only one reason: She wants to get protected. Thats the only reason shes nice to him. These comments come as reports surfaced that Hillary Clinton is facing what amounts to an army of investigators from the FBI zoning in on her email scandal. The Washington Post reported on Monday morning that a whopping 147 FBI agents are investigating the Democratic frontrunner. One hundred forty-seven FBI agents have been deployed to run down leads, according to a lawmaker briefed by FBI Director James B. Comey, the Washington Post reported. The FBI has accelerated the investigation because officials want to avoid the possibility of announcing any action too close to the election. Trump added in his exclusive interview with Breitbart News that Bill Clintons statement in Spokane will deteriorate the relationship between Hillary Clinton and President Obama. If Bill Clinton made that statement, that is a disaster for Hillarys election, Trump said. And its a disaster for the relationship between Hillary and Obama. Trumps comments, made in a lengthy interview that lasted about a half an hour late last week, came in the wake of the Brussels terror attack. Trump argued that the attack proves the terrorists are totally winning their war on the West under the leadership of President Obama, much of which Hillary Clinton is responsible for given the fact she was Secretary of State at the time. Trump noted that Clintons weakness on terror policy puts her at risk in the general election. Trump said in that part of the interview, which Breitbart News published last week: The terrorists will cause Hillary Clinton to lose the election. Shes weak on borders. Shes weak on crime. Shes weak on anything having to do with controversy other than controversy with herself. Shes weak on the police. Shes weak on anything having to do with strength. Hillary is so weak on the borders, and so afraid to talk negatively about protecting our people, that it will end up costing her the election in my opinion. In this interview, Trump also made the case that Hillary Clinton would further the globalist trade agenda thats abjectly failed for American workerscausing massive job loss to foreign nations as companies throughout Americas heartland and rustbelt ship their operations overseas to places like Mexico, China, Canada, and other nations around the world, especially throughout the Pacific Rim. Trump said when asked about the differences between him and Clinton on trade policy: I want to bring jobs back. Its very simple. We have been losing on trade, just like we have been losing on everything else. I want to bring jobs back to our country. I want to make trade smart for our country and if its not going to be smart, I dont want to do it. Were going to have a great trade policy. Were going to get along with people but were either going to make good deals or were not going to make deals at all. I want to bring jobs back to the United States. This interview comes after a series of great successes on the campaign trail for Trump, where he won Arizonas winner-take-all primary after a week earlier winning five out of six contestsincluding Floridas plum prize of 99 delegates, knocking Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) out of the racebut ahead of what appears to be a long protracted battle from here for the nomination. As Trump moves to unite the GOP behind him ahead of the partys nominating convention in Cleveland in July, his two remaining rivals, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, are working to attempt to deny him the necessary delegates to win the nomination outright on the first ballot. It is mathematically impossible at this time for Kasich to win the nomination, and Cruz would need to amass nearly 90 percent of outstanding delegates to get theresomething thats highly improbableso the only realistic way to stop Trump at this point is through a contested convention. A contested convention in Cleveland would be a bloody and devisive process for the party and mayin the words of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walkerproduce a GOP presidential nominee who isnt currently running for the nomination. Theres lots of talk that that the potential nominee may end up being House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), although Ryanas he did before running for the Speakershipdenies wanting the nomination. Trump is trying right now to pivot towards the general election and pick a fight with Hillary Clinton, but he needs to win a few more decisive contestslike in Ryans Wisconsin or his home state of New York, both of which are coming up around the cornerto put the Never Trump crowd away once and for all. Current general election polling between Trump and Clinton shows a big advantage for Clinton at this timebut thats roughly the same advantage former President Jimmy Carter had over Ronald Reagan at about this point in the year 1980. A Washington Post comparison of three different maps of the electoral college results from the 2012 election shows that while Trump is a higher risk candidate in the general election for the GOP than Cruz, he has much more room to expand and grow on the map into states Republicans have traditionally stood no chance intherefore making him a higher reward candidate. Trumps populist appeal across the rust belt states, and to ordinary American workers across the country, has the Clinton camp rethinking their entire strategy. A piece in Politico Magazine on Sunday from progressive pundit Bill Scher argues that Clinton should look especially at Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), or at Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH)both populist progressives in the mold of Clinton primary foe Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) of Vermontas her potential vice president. Before Donald Trump, Franken wouldnt possibly have merited serious consideration, Scher wrote in the piece, which was highlighted by the massively influential Politico Playbook written by the publications keystone reporter Mike Allen. Even though his seven-year record as a senator from Minnesota suggests hes a genuinely committed legislator, the first rule of V.P. picks is do no harmand pre-Trump, the trove of politically incorrect barbs from Frankens past would have been far too much baggage for a presidential nominee to want to carry. The spotlight would have been on him instead of Clinton. Candidate Trump erases the old standards. Nothing that Franken said decades ago would be remotely as incendiary as the insults Trump spews as a matter of campaign strategy. And Trumps presence demands new rhetorical weaponry. As Trump himself might say, Frankens classy and elegant wit is just what the ticket needs to avoid the kind of brawl that drags everyone down to Trumps level. Clinton will want to stay above the fray, and Franken can provide the buffer.

Hillary was/is being nice to obama because she was in agreement with Obama's antagonistic mission to back this country into a corner and destroy it by means of a multidimensional attack strategy. Hillary and Obama are on basicly the same mission and she will continue the job when she takes over.
Is that photo of Hillary, or a shaved dog's butt ?
