The link below has more information about Hillary Clinton's scheme to win the election (including documents from Wikileaks). Clinton and her team actually wanted Trump to be the Republican candidate, figuring it would ensure an easy victory for her.

If more Democrats bothered to read up on their candidate and think critically, they might learn something from this experience. It seems that they prefer the liberal echo chamber. Look how well this scheme worked for them. Clinton still lost.

The last paragraph of that link should evoke a strong sense of disgust in anyone with a conscience.

Nah, the dems don't care because, you know, Trump is orange.

The clinton crime family is nothing more than a RICO operation.

A few reasons they lost...

Too much time making schemes instead of campaigning.

Hilary's health took her away from campaigning.

Laws still matter to people.

Health care costs.

Hillary was the DNC's chosen candidate, not the people's chosen candidate.

When you boiled down HRC experience there was little left that was actually good.
They hid HRC for months to avoid having to face her past head on
They tried to shame people into voting for her by telling us that if we did not we were sexist, racist deplorables
She is a corrupt liar
She sold our country out every chance she could

The takeaway from the link posted is this: Clinton and DNC were playing pure Machiavellian politics. But the scheme backfired with their assumption that Clinton could easily beat Trump. Trump understood real American voters better and voters responded accordingly.

Back in March, Clinton workers were apparently instructing Democrats in Arlington County to vote for Trump on the Republican ballots to "mess with the results" in the Virginia primary election:

Read post #23, page 3. Open primary in Virginia.

Only one mention and didn't get picked up by anyone else on the rest of the thread. Also, I've always had a problem with 'a friend of a friend said' this or that.

Not true. Post #26 also has a link to an article. So it's just not a 'friend of a friend' thing. Nice try.

Democrats in northern Virginia were instructed to vote in a way to skew results for Republicans in the open primary. And it backfired on Clinton.
