Excuse me, but at what point during all these protests and identity politics parades did we forget that the Hillary Clinton campaign hand-picked Donald Trump to be her Republican opponent? Is anybody going to pause in the midst of their social media demonstrations of self-righteous outrage to recall that the Pied Piper email released by WikiLeaks clearly shows Clinton campaign staff conspiring with the DNC to use their media leverage to elevate Trump above the other candidates? Are we at some point going to take a breath and acknowledge the fact that, after manipulating the primaries of both parties to ensure a Clinton vs. Trump ticket, the Hillary campaign then started literally paying people to make the public terrified of Trump and his supporters, and that we’re seeing the effects of that fearmongering playing out right now? Or are we still going to try and blame Berners and bigotry for this mess that Hillary Clinton and her goons are solely responsible for creating?
In a memo attached to the aforementioned document, staff are seen discussing a plan to “tell the press” to focus on the most extreme candidates in the Republican primary and take them seriously rather than marginalize them, in order to hurt the campaigns of the more moderate candidates with a better chance to win. The candidates they listed, called “Pied Piper Candidates” in the memo, are Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, and Donald Trump.
Clearly, as evidenced by the highly disproportionate amount of coverage he received in the Republican primaries in comparison to the other candidates, they went with Donald Trump.
As crazy as it is that the Clinton campaign is seen sending memos to the Committee responsible for ensuring unbiased Democratic primaries in April of 2015, and as shocking as it is to see a candidate’s campaign staff casually mentioning how they’ll instruct members of the press on how to cover the candidacies of the opposing party, the real bombshell when this email came out was the knowledge that the elites of the Democratic party didn’t just rig their own primary, they rigged the Republican one as well. They planned to use their appalling but well-documented amount of leverage over the media to elevate Trump above all the other candidates in order to undermine the campaigns of the moderates, and it worked. Trump won as a direct result of this.
The Clinton campaign then went to work making sure that the American public is as terrified of Donald Trump as possible. The staff of the New York Times (former crown jewel of the Fourth Estate, now shameless neoliberal shill rag) was shown in another Wikileaks release scheming with Clinton campaign staff on a “story” (read: full-page campaign ad) they wanted to do on how Clinton and her supporters view Donald Trump. In this email, they said the following:
“We’re told that President Clinton (like Mrs. Clinton and some other Dems) thinks that Trump would be a formidable opponent in the general election, and that Dems are in a form of denial if they dismiss Trump as a joke who would be easily defeated in November. President Clinton, like others, thinks that Trump has his finger on the pulse of the electorate’s mood and that only a well-financed, concerted campaign portrayed [sic] him as dangerous and bigoted will win what both Clintons believe will be a close November election.”
So we know they were planning a fear-based campaign from the beginning. But then you have another sycophantic fake news organization in CNN showing Van Jones tearfully decrying the fact that children all over the country are now terrified of the impending Trump presidency.
Of course they’re terrified, you monsters! You made them that way! On purpose!

Remember, she has “bad judgement.”
I think that (any) other Republican, would have been beat.
I have supported Donald since before he even ran. But I think anyone else, would have lost.
Seems I was telling everyone that during the primaries.
I remember some FReepers that no longer grace our presence saying that Hillary and trump were in cahoots, because she went to his wedding and he donated to this one and that one and blah, blah, blah.
Holy smokes, that’s right. I do remember that. The DNC thought Trump would be the easiest candidate for their ailing, vengeful, sofa-upholstery-wearing, criminal candidate to beat.
A very good illustration of:
Be careful of what you wish,— you may get it.
And Schizophrenia is a treatable disease..
Wasn’t Cruz also on her list of choices that she thought she could easily destroy? Which she probably could have.
Sure did backfire! Braaahaaahaaaaa!!!!!
“I think that (any) other Republican, would have been beat.”
Not only beat but destroyed.
Trump took everything they had and more, and BEAT them.
He doesn’t need any advice from anyone.
Most republicans in congress should not “advise” but study and learn from Trump.
That’s how it’s done folks!
All the talking heads including Hillary’s campaign staff were Dreaming OUT LOUD of Mr Trump being the Candidate, they were POSITIVE Hillary would wipe the floor with him, they WANTED MR TRUMP!
Yep. They would have played nice and let the MSM dictate 100% of the narrative with little to no push-back. There would have been no situation where Hillary would have insulted a great many of their supporters like she did with those supporting Trump. There would have been no need for the MSM to lie about the polls, which appears to have suppressed some of the vote for Hillary.
Some are misinterpreting this.
Hillary picked Trump thinking he was the EASIEST TO BEAT.
They worried about Rubio as another Obama - young, energetic, minority.
They wanted Trump.
They weren’t in ‘co-hoots.’ It was to set up Republicans for a loss.
THE IRONY IS RICH!!
Yep.
Exactly. They laughed about him. NEVER did they think he could win.
Oops!
LOL!
You’re right. I don’t think any other candidate could have survived.
I’ve been good with Trump since virtually the beginning. I liked the fact that he was a straight shooter and NOT PC. He always reminded me of Vinny Gambini! LOL and I’ve always liked that character.
I think you are correct in your assessment that any other Republican would have been beat. My dad (age 79) began asking me after Romney lost in ‘12 who I wanted on the Republican ticket in ‘16 and who I thought could win. Two separate questions. I floated a couple of names I wanted, he had a couple too, but none we really thought could win against Hitlery. Trump was definitely not on our radar back then but I’m darn glad we found a real man who could win.
Boo-hoo
