How does Trump walk back his praise of Hillary in 2008?

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-in-2008-hillary-clinton-would-make-a-great-president/

Donald Trump wrote in a blog post during the 2008 presidential campaign that Hillary Clinton would make a "great" president or vice president.

No one expects Trump to sing her praises now but to go from "she would make a great President" to "she would not get 5% of the vote if she were a man" defies logic and exposes Trump as a complete fraud. Will anyone in the MSM dare to ask him about this?

he will be the only presidential candidate to have:
1) Donated $100,000 to his opponent's foundation.
2) Donated seven times to his opponent's senate and presidential campaigns.
3) Invited his opponent to his (3rd) wedding.

Good campaign material for Hillary to use!

"Of course she's crooked, I paid her off myself and she was there for me when I needed a favor."

Don't overlook the fact that Trump has already torpedoed one very well financed campaign with inside information.

Trying to apply logic to the goat rodeo that is the Trump campaign.

He doesn't walk it back. He simply ignores it. If asked, he'll waffle and wiggle and oh look over here a shiny object ISIS crawling over the borders molesting our womenfolk, Bible is a terrific book.

Only thinking people will concern themselves with this question, and we are becoming like Diogenes.

Bill Clinton is his favorite of the last 4 presidents and he wanted George W. impeached.

They never admit to being wrong, always know more then everyone else and really do believe their lies at least in that moment of time.

The reason I know he is pathological is that he cannot help it, he has been given a million softballs and outs on TV and each time he has to lie as his compulsion demands.

That's why he has the best words.
