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!

I was able to attend a Trump rally. Sure, Trump was there and fired us up.
But my best memory of being there was BEING WITH THIS HUGE CROWD OF PEOPLE WHO FELT LIKE I DID. They were good people. They cleaned up after themselves. Many had served in the military. They were kind and friendly and all ages, all races.
Trump.... is us. He is a leader of like mindeds who want a fair world, a chance.
I'm hoping against hope Trump will begin trimming the gubmint so there isn't such a glut of Federal employees. MAGA would include growing the economy such that those people could work in the private sector. In such, they might be enlightened as to why we are conservatives.
Admittely VERY long term goal.
A little gift from God. :)

Speaking of cleaning up after themselves. I was ticked and sickened last week by trashy people. Attended granddaughters graduation from USAF boot camp. In the stands after the ceremony countless people left their empty drink bottles and snack wrappers, many I saw just throw the trash down on the ground while exiting. I went trash nazi, telling people to pick up, picking up myself, telling younger grandkids to grab some trash. Two people (i wont describe here) actually threw the trash at me. ANGRY WHITE WOMAN HERE!!! I felt they were denigrating my granddaughters day, tho she knew nothing of it. (I might still be stewing)

“While I still think Cruz is better qualified to be President, he would have to get there first, and there’s no way it would have been a fair fight. Trump only made it because he’s a real scrapper.”
“better qualified?”
What the hell does that even mean!? Qualified to submit us to 4 more years of GOPe crap? Trump is far more qualified because he is NOT a career politician. People are not supposed to spend their whole life as a politician. We see what happens when that occurs. Don’t you?
“a scrapper”?
Again, more nonsense. He won on so many other qualities. The principle attribute being that he is one of us—a non-politician. A successful business man. A job creator. Etc.
Cruz was not liked by the GOPe.
Ted Cruz is a conservative and a Constitutional scholar. Because he is a scholar he expects to reason with people. That approach doesn’t work with Bolsheviks whose intentions are to destroy the Constitution.
Donald Trump is a pro-American semi-Conservative who fights. He’ll do in a pinch.
My Memories are real...
And they are SPECTACULAR!
I agree.
I voted for Trump. I don’t like him personally and I don’t think his background qualifies him to be president.
Doesn’t matter.
Through sheer, dumb luck, the GOP “nominating process” (snicker) managed to produce the back alley fighter with the needed disrespect for status and station to challenge her “Awesomeness” and debunk the myth of “inevitably” that the DNC and the collaborationist MSM had created around her. The other GOP candidates were too experienced, too polite to do the in-your-face campaigning necessary to call her and all her enablers out for the cabal of corrupt privileged establishment manipulators they were (and still are).
Can you see Cruz, Bush, or Rubio attacking her the way that Trump did? The dragon required a dragon slayer. Through his career as a wealthy and successful NYC businessman and flamboyant personality, Trump had the necessary experience to both dish it out and stand up, smile, and keep charging through all to all the dirt that was going to be coming his way. He succeeded where the professional GOP establishment politicians would have failed.
Okay, now that he has won this prize, he has less than 70 days to take charge of one of the largest and most complex government bureaucracies in the world. There are over 4000 political positions to be staffed. There are a multitude of agency briefings to be received.
Fortunately, he has a good, experienced executive in Mike Pence as his vice president. I hope President-elect Trump will be wise enough to use the governor’s experience in actually running a government successfully as an reference point and guide.
He would not have even tried.
That is one of the bad things about most of the other candidates this year, they had little to no imagination and they couldn't make bold moves when it counted.
Dr. Carson was one of the ones who could think outside the box but he was not used to giving persuasive speeches.
Both can be true, y’know. How many times have we seen a championship boxer take a fight with a challenger that he figured he could handle only to get his clock cleaned?
I had many arguments with a co-worker by telling him that the positive media treatment that Trump was getting in the primaries was going to disappear the moment he got the nomination. I also suggested that Hillary was engaged in picking her opponent. I mean we’ve already seen in past elections Democrat voters being encouraged to vote in the Republican primaries in states that permitted cross-over voting. So it was only a logical extension of that strategy.
