2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe MSM created a "controversy" to give them a reason to talk about Bernie
Bernie created an "attack ad," and Hillary's team flipped their shit and ran to the media!
They called that an attack ad.

(19,326 posts)Trump has enough dirt on the Clintons to fill-up a caravan of dump trucks,
and the money to spread that shit wall-to-wall on the M$M.
Which is why the Democrats would be utterly stupid to make her the nominee.
Well, it's only ONE of many reasons actually, but a big one never-the-less.

(29,067 posts)What makes you think that Trump has a lot of dirt on the Clintons, and can you tell us what it is?
I'm a Bernie supporter and honestly intrigued.

(19,326 posts)that I can "prove". I'll own that.
I'm basing this on the fact that the Clintons and Trump go way back, they are part of the same
NYC social circles, and the have socialized a fair bit together; AND that Trump is a slime-ball who
'takes names and notes" about what he learns about the "dirt" on people.
Now, I do think it's fair to say that Trump is equally vulnerable, that the Clintons probably have
a lot on him too, so it runs both ways IMHO.

(29,067 posts)I figured they may "run in the same circles" at times. Asked why she and Bill attended one of his weddings, Hillary claimed that "We don't know him very well", but I'd guess 'very well' could be open to interpretation. Thanks for the photo.

(36,063 posts)by being hyperbolic she sets up the public to be on guard for attacks against her...it makes competitors for the nomination careful. It also sets up the public to accept what they think of as a responsive negative counter ad, because you know...fairness.
Many candidates do this. I don't think it can be called anything but a standard campaign play.
