The tape release is a sign of desperation in the Hillary campaign.
Why did senior Clinton campaign officials order their dirty tricks team to release the Trump tape this past Friday instead of the Friday before Election Day?
Dr. Lifson answers:
The leak of an old hot mic recording of a private conversation between a TV host and Trump probably was originally scheduled for the Friday before Election Day. But the Wikileaks revelations about Hillary could not be allowed to dominate the weekend pre-debate chatter.
An alternative explanation: The Clinton campaign believes that waiting to release the tape until the Friday before Election Day would be too late. The campaign believes that Trump stands a good chance of winning the remaining two debates, would build tremendous momentum, and would be virtually unstoppable. Releasing the tape so late would also smack of desperation and might be counterproductive, encouraging Trump supporters to turn out in even greater numbers.
The Clinton campaign calculated that releasing the tape a month ahead of time would have several advantages:
- Early voting is getting under way. Now is the time to hit Trump and persuade early voters to give up on him before he can recover
- MSM toadies will need more than a couple of days to spring into collective action and inflict maximum and possibly lasting damage on Trump
- Republicans who have opposed Trump all along need time to coalesce into a movement that would apply pressure on Trump to quit the race.
I'd say all those Miss Universe contestants and underaged girls coming forward today have Trump in a panic, not the Democrats.
The Wikileaks sauce was weak. Just like I told you it would be.
Yep....now that wasn't totally orchestrated by the Hillary campaign, right?
At this time anyone who listens to the media is a fool.
Wikileaks has made it obvious that the media is just the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. They have been caught feeding debate questions to Hillary, feeding Interview questions to Hillary, covering up her illness, covering up all her sleaze and dirt. It's no wonder Hillary wanted to assassinate Julian Assange. If she's elected, his days are numbered.
