When you look back, you will see that Hillary's premature claim of victory in Iowa is from THE SAME PLAYBOOK as George W. Bush's premature claim of victory in Florida.
Just the same.
Declare victory, when you know things are shady. Loudly declare victory.
Do everything you can to establish that premise.
Do everything you can to establish Clinton as the victor, and Bernie as inferior.
Shut down all measures to investigate, while bringing a public relations war against any/all who want a true count.
I could go on.
Gotta keep your eyes open, everyone. See tactics for what they are.

(50,130 posts)But there was a man who was in charge in 2000 of establishing Bush's "sovereignty" that moment. I have forgotten his name -- he's a shadowy figure. He was tasked with establishing supremacy at that MOMENT in time.
And it worked.
