Dirty tricks tracking...

Last edited Mon Apr 18, 2016, 11:30 PM - Edit history (27)

There are some very blatant dirty tricks being used. So, in an effort to help fellow Bernie Supporters know what to be on the lookout for, I'm compositing a list of known tactics being employed by the opposition. I'll add any others posted to this thread to the list.

Check back now and then, and I should have more added to the list.

Maggie Williams, campaign manager for Clinton, played down the significance of the picture. "If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely."

a la 'clone zone' tactics

Classic example was a story circulating today that Elizabeth Warren endorsed Bernie Sanders. I think that the tactic serves to demoralize and/or embarrass Sanders supporters.

My guess this was planted news by Clinton operatives....

iowa and nv were both caucuses, there was trickery, and bernie "lost" although he probably won both.

colorado and mn are important to him today. does anyone NOT think the state party officials will rig them for hillary?

one thing...if bernie wins primaries but not a single caucus state, that is a flaming indictment of the caucus system,,no way someone loses every caucus state in a two person race

Trump voters have been calling into RW talk radio saying their Trump votes were switched to other candidates. Mostly Rubio. The thing is, I bet half of the voters don't double check before they submit their votes.

Which, considering all her self-induced problems, and the investigations underway, along with significant antipathy toward her from Dems, and the notable number of people declaring they will not vote for her under any circumstances... I don't think she can win.
I sure as hell wont vote for her.

to yourself from here. Is there still some way to do this? I want to use information from time to time and want to put it in to a folder. I suppose I could also copy sections and paste, but doing it all at the same time is easier.

Many people I email to won't read ALL of this at one time.

Suggestions??

Short of doing a lot of copy-paste actions, I'm not sure there's a good option there. Maybe someone else may have a suggestion.
