"An Israel-based private intelligence firm made a Power Point presentation in which it appears to have bragged about the ways in which it used social media dirty tricks to help the Trump campaign, the Wall Street Journal reports."


"The presentation was uploaded and featured pages on making fake news sites, using “avatar seeding” to get fake news in front of groups and infiltrating opposition to seed discord, such as using a pro-Bernie Sanders Facebook group to radicalize supporters against Hillary Clinton."


The rest of WSJ article is hidden behind a paywall, but it did upload a .pdf of the group's Power Point illustration:

So Nuttinyahoo and his minions reward for helping to select Trump was getting a new US embassy in Jerusalem, apparently.

Sounds pretty far fetched.

It's known that the Clinton led DNC itself used dirty tricks against Bernie Sanders anyway.

Maybe these private Isrealis favored Sanders for the Democrat nomination because he's a God damn Jew.

Michael Moore is openly radicalizing the left of the Democrat party to take control of the party away from the corporate ruled Clinton/Obama gulog that currently owns control as it is.

So what's the big deal?

If that many people are stupid enough to believe the shit they read on Facebook then they deserve Trump anyways.

The DNC used way more than Facebook to fuck Bernie Sanders over.

They manipulated the television broadcast schedule of the Democrat debates in an attempt to minimize viewership and prevent Sanders to get his message out to rank and file Democrats who would have been pre-disposed to simply corronate the Queen.

I always enjoyed how the media outlets from day 1 showed Bernie down hundreds of delegates (super delegates). A nice subtle way of telling potential Bernie supporters 'don't bother'.

And he still won states like Wisconsin and Michigan, that are pivotal in the general election while carrying the youth vote in almost every state. The signs were all over the place that she was a terrible candidate.

Without looking at the electoral numbers, those two states would have probably made the difference for the Dems, all else being equal.

Democrats have no one to blame but themselves.

I guess the same could be said for Republicans.

I fully intended to register as a Republican and vote for Kasich in the California primary; unfortunately, the nomination had been decided a while before then.

The theme I most remember from Clinton's campaign was "everything has been good but the only thing that would make it better is even more free shit for more people. Except not as much free shit as Bernie is promising-that would be financially irresponsible."

Anyway, Democrats whining about election tampering-that is just some crazy shit.

Well...furtively for about 60 million Murkins, she "lost" by electoral vote, and those many millions of "illegal" votes cast by cheating liberal socialists went for naught. True Murkin patriots got "their" country back, which obviously means that it was dishonestly taken from its righteous and original Christian owners.

The swamp has been drained, the rule of law is now being determined and enforced increasingly by conservative standards...the latter depending largely upon whose ideology and beliefs are involved, how far up the pecking order that they are, and the checks and balances inherent in government that our Founders created are in good hands...MAGA!!
 
Sanders should have run as the Independent that he was and now is again. He won Michigan by the slimmest of state margins, and it was mostly due to the amount of outstate, rural, and exurban votes that he received...but here the rule is that all candidates receive the equivalent percentage of delegates to votes regardless of who got the most votes.

Bernie did not campaign in urban or inner-ring suburban areas, and skirted the South or Southwest, b/c of his strong Brooklyn accent which he believed was detrimental to his chances of winning vs Clinton. But that proved to be no obstacle for Donald J. Trump....a NY Yankee carpetbagger of whom the alleged descendants of Confederate soldiers hypocritically embraced as being "one of them".

I bet he wishes he would have too. I'm sure the thought process at the beginning was that he'd use the partisan political machine to get his name out there. Turns out his grass roots campaign did more than the DNC ever did for him.

I think the calculus was: Trump was not electable; Hilary would win, and he'd be better able to get his agenda through if he supported her.

He wasn't wrong; I don't think anyone outside of Hillary's campaign knew how poorly it was run. I remember hearing rumors that Trump's campaign was really only about marketing MAGA hats and funneling campaign money back to his own pocket. remember how much he charged his own campaign for space in Trump tower? And Hilary had comfortably out-raised and out-spent him early on, and the thought was he was only living off free media attention.

Turned out she had no ground game either, and her "strategy" of digital ads, facebook analytics etc. was similar to Trump's, but less effective.

no one foresaw, but probably should have, the amount of dark money that would come flowing in on the GOP side at the 11th hour, swamping everything else. (link)(You do NOT ratfuck the billionaires... they ratfuck YOU.)

Plus, ironically (in hindsight) James Comey's "oh and BTW Hillary is still under investigation" announcement a week before the election probably played some role, which Republitards have forgotten made him their Golden Boy Man Of High Integrity at the time.

it's so hard for you spoiled butthurt children to give credit where it's due. The guy flipped every single swing state - how did he manage to do that if as you say in one breath the guy was unelectable and in the next breath, talk about his campaign was just marketing MAGA hats and funneling money back to his own pocket? You don't actually believe she lost SOLELY because she ran a bad campaign, do you? She literally had every major media outlet, except for Fox, stumping for her. My neighbor was a huge Trump supporter - he drove 3 hours into Pennsylvania the week before the election and knocked on doors for Trump all day, every day until the election. He said there were at least a couple hundred people from all over doing the same thing in the area where he volunteered - it was clearly a well organized effort to flip PA. The idea that there was no ground game and the campaign was one giant grift simply isn't true, no matter how much you want to believe it.

the only thing that would have come from Sanders running as an independent is the Dems would lose the "She won the popular vote by 3mm" argument they love so much. Sanders best shot would have been a distant second at best but mostly likely he'd have finished third and dragged Hillary a little further back.
 
You're arguing against things I never said in my post.

I'm arguing against the quoted text from your post - you can deny you never said it, but it's kind of hard when it's right there. You can dismiss it as "just a rumor" but if you didn't believe it or didn't want others to believe it, you wouldn't have mentioned it.

Okay, let me make this easier for you...

...You don't actually believe she lost SOLELY because she ran a bad campaign, do you? ...

No.

oh, she was also a horrible candidate, is that it? But then of course you made the point the Trump was a worse candidate. In the first sentence you say Bernie's calculus was that Trump was unelectable and Hillary would win. It's right here:

I think the calculus was: Trump was not electable; Hilary would win...

Then in the second sentence you say he wasn't wrong. So if he wasn't wrong, and Trump was unelectable, then what was it? In your explanation for why he wasn't wrong, you only mention that Hillary ran a poor campaign - nothing else. Here's the quote:

He wasn't wrong; I don't think anyone outside of Hillary's campaign knew how poorly it was run.

You even site the rumor that Trump's campaign was solely about marketing hats and funneling money back to himself as evidence of how poorly Hillary's campaign was. Here's the quote if it helps

I remember hearing rumors that Trump's campaign was really only about marketing MAGA hats and funneling campaign money back to his own pocket.

You add the dark money bullshit and comey's announcements as afterthoughts but I'd be surprised if even you believe that dark money nonsense from "The International Business Times." Amazing that you pull this nonsense from obscure websites and then try to discredit other people for using questionable sources. Is it safe to assume you read the article all the way to the end? Did you do the math? Total campaign spending for Clinton $1.2BILLION vs. $627million for Trump and you want us to believe that a measly $13million in dark money spent in November tipped the scales just because it's 2x the amount that came in for Romney in November 2012 - literally 1% of the total funds spent by Clinton in total. Not to mention, total dark money spending in 2016 was down 41% from 2012 (which was the all time high). That's so dumb, not even you could believe it mattered.

If I didn't know what a liar and a fool you are I'd actually be amazed at how willing you are to make a hypocrite and a fool of yourself to avoid admitting you're wrong.

I thought Trump's plan was to launch a cable channel.

Your typical arrogant BS...you have no crystal ball to predict the outcome, had Sanders followed through with what I posted. He was foolish to not campaign in the same states and urban areas that JFK with his NE accent had done almost 60 years earlier. He might have taken more votes from Trump than HRC.
