Whether or not Bill Clinton had the foresight to see what Trump would do to the Republicans, you have to admit that this is huge plus for Hillary. The more disarray there is in Republican ranks, the more the candidates must move to the right to gain the support of the conservative base. That allows Hillary to move to the center which makes her position that much stronger.
And at this point the Republicans have a very difficult position. It’s unlikely that Donald Trump will drop from the race gracefully, which means he either gets the nomination or splits the party. Either case is a big win for the Democrats.[/quote]
It also disrupts the Anti-Hillary narrative that I’m sure the RNC wanted to dominate the news cycle at this point. Meanwhile, you’ve got Bernie Sanders running around making Hillary look more moderate by comparison. Maybe the Clintons really are that crafty?
