Why did senior Clinton campaign officials order their dirty tricks team to release the Trump tape this past Friday instead of the Friday before Election Day?
Dr. Lifson answers:
The leak of an old hot mic recording of a private conversation between a TV host and Trump probably was originally scheduled for the Friday before Election Day. But the Wikileaks revelations about Hillary could not be allowed to dominate the weekend pre-debate chatter.
An alternative explanation: The Clinton campaign believes that waiting to release the tape until the Friday before Election Day would be too late. The campaign believes that Trump stands a good chance of winning the remaining two debates, would build tremendous momentum, and would be virtually unstoppable. Releasing the tape so late would also smack of desperation and might be counterproductive, encouraging Trump supporters to turn out in even greater numbers.
The Clinton campaign calculated that releasing the tape a month ahead of time would have several advantages:

That was said in the article....right there in the excerpt
Trump needs to say continually, lets talk about the issues, the American people want to talk about the issues, this enquirer tabloid dirt is a smoke screen for Hillary lets talk about the issues
The counter to any Donald Trump tape are two things: Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. Both have such disgusting records that they are indefensible. Both make Trump look like a choir boy.
Maybe their computer models were saying they must stop Trump now, or his momentum will make him unbeatable.
Hard to know what is in the echo chamber head of Hillary.
What we need to do is make this election so toxic that these people won’t bother to vote
We need to be shouting Bill Clinton’s rapes and Bill Cosby like actions at every chance
We need to be showing the clips of Hillary defending a child rapist and laughing about and saying the innocent victim deserved it
We need to make it so toxic that these wishy washy “independents” and “undecids” won’t even bother to vote for either
Trump has a stronger base then Hillary, Hillary’s base is not enthused about here, Trump’s is.
That is how we win this
I completely agree with the author. The Wiki releases would have (and still might) open a wound so large that Hillary cannot recover by election day.
The good news is, the open Mic recording is probably the biggest thing in Clinton’s arsenal. It will blow over within the week, while Wikileaks continues to unload major dirt on Hillary.
Public perception of the candidates will look completely different a week from today.
I thing the GOPe was in cahoots with the Hillary campaign from the get go on this. Told evening trump will have to battle both sides..,
That hot mic recording would have had more effect the day before election day. Now I suspect it will be old news by then, probably replaced with something dirtier.
It does show the Clinton campaign is in a panic mode.
The billy Clinton and bill Cosby ad comparison would be DEVASTATING!!! Oh my god the black community would be freaking mad!!! Double standard by the mediapukes would cause more unrest against the kkkilintons and the MEDIASCUM!!! ARE YOU LISTENING TEAM TRUMP!!!IT WOULD BE DEVASTATING AGAINST THE KKKLINTION MACHINE!!!
It’s funny...I did this back in the 90’s. It was truly like running 100 mph and then slamming into a brick wall of either indifference, ignorance or flat out rejection.
But decades later-thanks to social media-all the old scandals are being revealed to a whole new generation. And the MSM is being lampooned more than revered. Could just be my take on it.
demon craps don't do dynamic analysis. when you're married to a skunk that has sprayed people for years, the last thing you want to do is dredge up that time eleven years ago when your opponent had a case of b.o. in the locker room.
It just invites comparisons to the skunk and Pickles efforts to further victimize the victims who spoke out.
The desperation here is from the Republican establishment. Ryan, Romney, Jeb et.al. are behind this. It won’t succeed.
That was my first thought. Because of Trump's potty mouth, no one is talking about the Clinton speeches in which she advocates open borders and open trade.
I think if the tapes were just reported honestly it may have hurt trump...but the ludicrous attempt to spin it as Trump is, or is advocating folks be, a sexual predator from this is just too over the top and will backfire
THATS why trump MUST GO on the offense now, today!!!! Bombard everything they have against the beast and I know they have tons of crap in their closet!!! Trump needs to make himself immune to all the dirty crap they are still gonna throw against him from years ago ...it will just slide off!
I think the hot mic recording if just honestly reported might have hurt some, but the complete over the top spin that this boorish comments make Trump a sexual predator is just so reficulous it will backfire. They overplayed their hand.
I predicted the SC decision on deviant marriage because I understood that Evil only had to turn ONE man. Now to keep the game going Evil only has to nutralize one man. They will. They will kill Trump if they have to because...They HAVE TO.
: Could just be my take on it.”
Nope. In a way America is becoming like a small town thanks to instantaneous social media.
Noone has dared to say this yet but some segments of the electorate may actually see his comments as not positive, but not a problem. Those segments may include former factory workers, minimum wage lower income voters, rap listenahs, and assorted Sanders supporating youth. Might even offset the loss of the tiny percentage of undecided women still not vomited to a candidate. And after Trump unleashes hell in response, those ladies won’t be going for Bill Enabler Hill.
