So...is Trump an agent for the Clintons?

So how could that possibly be true? Well first of all, Trump used to be a Democrat. He held and - in some cases - still holds views which are closer to Democratic orthodoxy than that of his own party.
He was a friend of the Clintons.
They attended his wedding in 2005. And he praised both Clintons, but especially Hillary, calling her "a terrific woman".
In the view of the man who first floated the idea, the self-described "conservative-paleo-libertarian" Justin Raimondo, Trump’s pronouncements, "the open racism, the demagogic appeals ... sound like something out of a Democratic political consultant's imagination, a caricature of conservatism as performed by a master actor".

Sceptics also point to the fact that any other political outsider would have been ignored by the media.
Instead, when Trump spoke it was covered wall to wall by the cable news networks and given extensive coverage in newspapers. Conservative talk radio lapped it up and promoted it.
And that, in part, is why Trump is where he is at. No other candidate could compete with his free media. He blew them off the air, and he blew them off message.
People such as Jeb Bush weren't able to push their own points or put forward their own policies because they were too busy responding to the latest Trump outburst.
