Related: About this forumDonald Trump’s risky plan to use the Internet to suppress Hillary Clinton’s turnout
"We have three major voter suppression operations under way," another campaign official told Green and Issenberg. The campaign is targeting young white liberals, young women and black voters with negative ads focused on Hillary Clinton's politics, Bill Clinton's past and comments Clinton made in the 1990s about black criminals.
The reason the Trump campaign wants to suppress Clinton's turnout is obvious. Since May 1, shortly before Trump clinched the nomination, he's led Clinton in the head-to-head RealClearPolitics polling average for eight days. Out of 179.
Politics is a dirty bidness, and have we ever known a more dirty bidnessman than Don the Con ?

(44,124 posts)1. "young white liberals" "young women" "black voters"
All of these voting blocks know that Trump is full of bullshit.
They've heard him talk about assaulting women cuz he's a star, and they've heard his racist remarks and dog whistles.
I expect this will backfire on him.

use their demographic data as a weapon against democracy itself?
