Elevating Trump...

[Rockhopper]

Some would like to elevate Trumpy right off the planet.

For the Clinton machine to maintain power, it needs the likes of Donald Trump. It’s a package deal. The Clinton’s lesser of two evils campaign can corral voters most efficiently if their Republicans competitors are extreme, scary and incoherent. Trump is so frightening and potentially disruptive that even powerful Republican elites turn to Clinton for refuge.

So essential is the extreme right-wing to the Democrats strategy that the right-wing must be encouraged and promoted! Apparently Clinton wants and needs Trump.

Here are excerpts from an email (click on attachments) outlining strategy and goals to the DNC dated 4/7/2015. Well before Trump officially declared his candidacy.

Force all Republican Candidates to lock themselves into extreme conservative positions that will hurt them in a general election….

The variety of candidates is a positive here, and many of the lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right. In this scenario, we don’t want to marginalize the candidates, but make them more ‘Pied Piper’ candidates who actually represent the mainstream Republican Party. Pied Piper candidates include, but aren’t limited to:

Ted Cruz
Donald Trump
Ben Carson

We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to [take] them seriously.

I really cannot see the logic in this argument. Perhaps if there was a break in the connection between politics and corruption, more worthy leaders would be willing to step up. I just don't think grading on a curve brings out the best.

the problem is with our society always letting themselves be tricked into voting for the psychopaths and sociopaths of a corporate owned "duopoly" when we need a multiple party choice and to vote issues based not party based.

I wish both mainstream candidates would quit at the same time so we could more easily elect someone like Jill Stein, but i know that we will be stuck with the Facist-orange clown, and the neo-liberal warhawk corporatist to look forwards to until the voting is done, and I hope the election is monitored by outsiders to at least try and get a fair and honest election.
