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!

Agree with you 100%
Yes, they did.
But remember when Morning Joe was backing Trump?
They WANTED Trump.
Believe me, Felix. I see da irony!
I am posting to all the libtard trolls on my social sites that they should echo that sentiment “Yeah... this is all HILLARY’s fault!!”
And with the Berie supporters I add “And she had to cheat Bernie to win! She cheated against her own people!!”
And when they bite I start to throw in how this is a TOP-DOWN failure of the Democrat party! Mention Donna Brazille and her inability to defend cheating in the debates
Maybe we can get the democrats to start eating their own.
I can’t picture Trump as a Soros crony. He’s too independant. He says what he thinks openly. Soros is a deciever.
Most excellent Mr. K.
You’ve inspired me. Maybe I will go deal with libs at a family wedding tomorrow armed with your ideas.
They that diggeth the pit, falleth therein...

Whatever... Trump and America win, Hillary loses.
“They worried about Rubio as another Obama - young, energetic, minority.”
Rubio did not have the conservative vote.
Nope, not even close. Whether clueless or obfuscating, I dont know.
Hillarys efforts may have increased the fear amongst her supporters, this had nothing to do with the reason Republicans ran to Trump.
No one really wanted Bush Senior, but despite knowing better voted in hopes of getting Reagans third term. After all, he had the name recognition and the money. He showed his true colors as a big government globalist GOPe insider. The people turned against him.
Fast forward to when the GOPe/media showed up anointing Chimpy the Clown Prince upon us. After all, he had the name recognition and all the money. Few actually wanted him, we were just stuck with him as he was the "best" due to money/recognition. Then we got 8 years of big government globalist GOPe insider administration.
Fast forward, the GOPe/media show up with the first potential nominee and inevitable candidate, Jeb Bush. Sure he is a big government globalist insider but, after all, he had all the money and the name recognition.
America with a special single fingered salute said, "No, not a third time" and ran as far as possible.
Hillary, the media, and DNC may be responsible for terrifying the simpletons with a boogieman, but the RNC/Chamber of Commerce have no one but themselves to blame for driving people to Trump.
Virginia is going to be harder and harder for us to take. The federal government now has so damn many workers and lots of them live in Northern Virginia.
I have a great memory also,
But it’s only an inch long...
Hillary has been running for President since 1968.
NO way in God’s green hell was she setting Trump up to beat her! She was eating, sleeping and breathing this campaign since she set Bill back into the Ark. governor office after their first defeat. Granted, she DID expect it to be in 2008, not 2016 - but she did NOT plan on Trump winning.
I agree. And again, he’s pretty young. Can you imagine liberal heads exploding for the next 30+ years looking at Lee and Cruz on the SCOTUS?
Trump may not be the most hardcore small-government POTUS we’ve ever seen — I may very well be wrong, Trump Corporations don’t seem to carry too much extra flab — but if he is, a lot of those federal workers will be looking for greener pastures by the time he’s done. Maybe enough to make Virginia viable again.
It’s been beyond amusing to witness daily our enemies falling into their own traps, to witness their own lies, slamming them down like unruly boomerangs
“They worried about Rubio as another Obama - young, energetic, minority.”
Classic establishment thinking. They are always fighting the last war.
Bernie was a sham candidate to give here some one to run against in the primary.
Trump was to be the republican she could beat.
Hillary. Always the least liked person in any room.
Lee and Cruz will likely long out-live me. I could definitely die happy (in many years) with those 2 on the Court protecting the Constitution for my grandkids! And we need more like 'em. (My long passed southern ancestors like a Lee on the court also.)
