How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately "elevated" Donald Trump with its "pied piper" strategy
Edit: Sorry, downvoters; it is what it is.
An email recently released by the whistleblowing organization WikiLeaks shows how the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party bear direct responsibility for propelling the bigoted billionaire to the White House.
In its self-described “pied piper” strategy, the Clinton campaign proposed intentionally cultivating extreme right-wing presidential candidates, hoping to turn them into the new “mainstream of the Republican Party” in order to try to increase Clinton’s chances of winning.
Ah, the real reason people hate WikiLeaks. It exposed the truth, but rather than focus on the truth people focused on the messenger.
My brother in OSRS, they had emails from the Republican Party as well, but didn't release them because they said there was nothing interesting in them. I don't disagree at all that Clinton's strategy was inappropriate, but there's plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike WikiLeaks. Ironically, there's a lack of transparency on them. They should've released the GOP emails.
WikiLeaks has a problem when we need a WikiLeaks for WikiLeaks.
My brother in Middle Earth, the hate started long before WikiLeaks allegedly had any Republican emails, and even searching for the subject now I can't find anything that says WikiLeaks had them.
Edit: I found a source, reading it again pretty much tells the whole story (it wasn't emails but "information on the Trump campaign"): https://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/293453-assange-wikileaks-trump-info-no-worse-than-him/
Oh of course some people said that. Doesn't mean they're right though. And even so, they should've released that information on the trump campaign
What information could they possibly have that is worse than what we already know about Trump? He could eat babies on stage and 30% of people would still vote for him.
Something like the Trump campaign bribing the RNC early on. You could have the exact same things going on that the DNC did.
I don't think that would change anything. He's done far worse than that, and quite brazenly.
I think it might've in 2016, but who knows.
It's not just Trump either they've used the strategy for many insane Republican primary candidates.
Repiblicans are maniacs and Democrats are retarded. Story as old as time.
Republicans are retarded maniacs and Democrats are gaslighting hypocrites who play dumb when called out on their bullshit.
It exposed the truth, but rather than focus on the truth people focused on the messenger.
In this case, the media also focused on the messenger and gave Hillary a pass on the actual contents of those e-mails.
Hilarious mistake.
I suppose this would have been effective if even a fraction of the Republican voterbase was reasonable.
Hilarious mistake.
The mistake wasn't elevating Trump, but running in the first place.
There's a very real chance she'd have lost to Ted Cruz or Jeb Bush in a non-Trump national campaign, simply because she was a weak candidate with an awful reputation in the Midwest. There's a reason she struggled in the primary, both in 2008 and 2016, against a couple of political outsiders despite having an enormous financial and name-recognition advantage.
You can't win the Presidency without Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. And Hillary was never going to win those states, under any alternative opponent. She lost Pennsylvannia, ffs. No viable Democrat loses Pennsylvania.
