The RNC Plans To Turn Bernie Backers Against Hillary Clinton’s VP Pick

[Lakhota]

In a strategy memo provided to The Huffington Post, the committee outlines how it will attack the top candidates.

The Republican National Committee is planning to cleave liberal voters away fromHillary Clinton as part of a campaign to counteract her forthcoming pick of a vice presidential running mate.

In a detailed memo outlining its strategy to combat Clinton’s VP choice, the committee says it will frame the selection as both a cynical play to certain constituencies and as an emotional letdown for voters who backed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Democratic primary.

The goals, the memo says, are to “drive wedges between these top contenders and either Clinton and/or traditional Democrat constituencies, such as labor, environmentalists, and gun control advocates, and other traditional left-wing constituencies;” and “[w]here applicable, frame the choice as an insult to the large, deep base of Bernie Sanders supporters who are struggling with the notion of supporting Hillary Clinton as the presumptive Democrat nominee.”

Titled “Project Pander,” the RNC’s strategy memo also reveals which candidates the committee views as most likely to be selected. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), HUD Secretary Julian Castro and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) occupy the top tier; Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Labor Secretary Thomas Perez and Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) are in the second.

Authored by Raj Shah, the research director and deputy communications director at the RNC, the memo telegraphs a campaign of subterfuge that is traditionally executed in private. Parties normally don’t like their fingerprints on the attacks against the opposition. But this has been an untraditional election, with both sides relatively unapologetic about the mud they are slinging.

Sean Spicer, the RNC’s communications director and chief strategist, said that the committee already has conducted extensive field research in San Antonio, Boston and Richmond, Virginia (homes to Castro, Warren and Kaine, respectively) in addition to investigative work on all six potential choices.

“We’ve audited previous research efforts from allied folks, ID-ed relevant video and historical paper archives,” Spicer said. He added that the committee had filed more than 20 freedom of information requests at the local, state and federal level on these potential VP choices and was ready to deploy operatives for further dirt-digging within 12 hours of an announcement.

No one votes for a VP, so not to worry. The overwhelming majority of Sanders voters will be voting for Hillary Clinton, plus the RNC has a lot more to be concerned about, like trying to save the Senate & the house.

They've already started trying to divide us. But Bernie is saying his supporters have to defeat trump. If they are Bernie supporters they vote hillary. Maybe some will be attracted to trumps populist message but not many. Some will however vote for trump thinking that's the anti establishment vote. Not realizing the supreme Court is at stake. And hillary won't rubber stamp Ryan/McConnell legislation

No, they won’t – in fact they want nothing to do with Trump.

Bernie Sanders fans may not love Hillary Clinton. But they won't vote for Donald Trump.

I though hillary was a socialist. Make up your mind.

Paul Ryan and Mitch want trump because he will sign there legislation. That's not liberal

 

[dannyboys]

Chance of Hillary still being in the race come convention time>nil
Chance of Bernie being the DEM nominee>nil
Chance of a Biden/Pocahontas ticket>100%
Percent of Bernie Sander's supporters voting for the DEM candidate who never raised a fucking finger to earn the nomination>20%
Chance of Trump winning the Presidency 100%.
Chance of Trump winning the Presidency when not if another fucking muslim terrorist murders a bunch of innocents in the US before the election>500%
I've never been wrong calling the Presidential race winner since I started voting in the Sixties. That's right. Never wrong.

The idea of Sanders voters voting for Trump is idiocy.

The choice for Berners is clear. Vote for the establishment or to give future Bernies a fighting chance. Send a message, or you're always be ignored.
