supposedly from the wikileaks dump. apparently the DNC... well, just read it. it's hilarious if it's true.
"so we'll tell the media that donald trump is a serious candidate, and then undermine the real opposition so the RNC is left with a losing candidate." -paraphrase
fucking brilliant. so now hillary is responsible for donald trump too! god damn, is there anything she's not responsible for? if this is actually real then the RNC is being run by a bunch of clowns to get played this fucking hard. actually, i won't say clowns, i'll say incompetent fools.

If Trump is a dangerous candidate, doesn't this seem like really irresponsible behavior? I mean they're playing with fire. I mean he could win. And yeah I've seen Nate Silver and Betfair. I also saw Nate Silver give Trump 2% of winning the primary.

i know, right? it's like when republicans did Operation Chaos in 2008 at the behest of rush limbaugh and tampered with the democratic primary to help get Barak Obama nominated because he was the "weaker of the two" opponents. looks like we dodged a bullet this time.
but yeah, most republicans will tell you what a disaster barak obama has been, they just never talk about how it's their fault he was even nominated.
oh wait, it was to bolster clinton. either way, meddling in each other's primaries is an old trick. thr RNC should've seen it coming and discredited trump from the get go.

In late February 2008, Limbaugh announced "Operation Chaos," a political call to action with the initial plan to have voters of the Republican Party temporarily cross over to vote in the Democratic primary and vote for Hillary Clinton, who at the time was in the midst of losing eleven straight primary contests to Barack Obama. Limbaugh has also cited the open primary process in the early primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina, which allowed independent voters to cross over into the Republican primaries to choose John McCain over more conservative candidates (such as Fred Thompson), as an inspiration.
Oh god Rush Limbaugh lol. I don't think anyone actually did it. Limbaugh is so full of shit.

@previous (Metæ)
the fuck are you talking about? he did it again in 2016... do you not remember the primaries when everyone was going and voting in each others primaries to do shit like get trump and bernie put on the ticket?
we even talked and made jokes here about us going and doing it. i think some people actually said they DID go and vote for the opposition in the primaries specifically to accomplish these ends.
i'm not crazy, i know it happened. it was in the news. people were almost rioting at conventions because people in trump shirts were beating people up and then being accused of actually being secret bernie supporters trying to make trump supporters look bad.
do you people not fucking remember this shit? it happened

I don't actually listen to Limbaugh or follow the "conservative media" much so I'm not up to date on his happenings.
I do remember encouraging Syntax to vote Trump in the primary. He said he would but I doubt he actually did. I personally voted Trump in the primary because back in March it was quite uncertain that he'd win. If I lived in a later voting state (after Trump had a lock on the nomination) I would definitely have voted Bernie.
