Re: 2016 GOP presidential candidates
Date: April 7, 2015

Friends,

This memo is intended to outline the strategy and goals a potential Hillary Clinton presidential campaign would have regarding the 2016 Republican presidential field. Clearly most of what is contained in this memo is work the DNC is already doing. This exercise is intended to put those ideas to paper.

Our Goals & Strategy

Our hope is that the goal of a potential HRC campaign and the DNC would be one-in-the-same: to make whomever the Republicans nominate unpalatable to a majority of the electorate. We have outlined three strategies to obtain our goal:

1. Force all Republican candidates to lock themselves into extreme conservative positions that will hurt them in a general election;
2. Undermine any credibility/trust Republican presidential candidates have to make inroads to our coalition or independents;
3. Muddy the waters on any potential attack lodged against HRC.

Operationalizing the Strategy

Pied Piper Candidates

There are two ways to approach the strategies mentioned above. The first is to use the field as a whole to inflict damage on itself similar to what happened to Mitt Romney in 2012. The variety of candidates is a positive here, and many of the lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right. In this scenario, we don’t want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more “Pied Piper” candidates who actually represent the mainstream of the Republican Party. Pied Piper candidates include, but aren’t limited to:

• Ted Cruz
• Donald Trump
• Ben Carson

We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to them seriously.

Undermining Their Message & Credibility

Most of the more-established candidates will want to focus on building a winning general election coalition. The “Pied Pipers” of the field will mitigate this to a degree, but more will need to be done on certain candidates to undermine their credibility among our coalition (communities of color, millennials, women) and independent voters. In this regard, the goal here would be to show that they are just the same as every other GOP candidate: extremely conservative on these issues. Some examples:

• Jeb Bush
• What to undermine: the notion he is a “moderate” or concerned about regular Americans; perceived inroads with the Latino population.
• Marco Rubio
• What to undermine: the idea he has “fresh” ideas; his perceived appeal to Latinos
• Scott Walker
• What to undermine: the idea he can rally working- and middle class Americans.
• Rand Paul
• What to undermine: the idea he is a “different” kind of Republican; his stance on the military and his appeal to millennials and communities of color.
• Bobby Jindal
• What to undermine: his “new” ideas
• Chris Christie
• What to undermine: he tells it like it is.

Muddying the Waters

As we all know, the right wing attack machine has been building its opposition research on Hillary Clinton for decades. The RNC et al has been telegraphing they are ready to attack and do so with reckless abandon. One way we can respond to these attacks is to show how they boomerang onto the Republican presidential field. The goal, then, is to have a dossier on the GOP candidates on the likely attacks HRC will face. Based on attacks that have already occurred, the areas they are highlighting:

• Transparency & disclosure
• Donors & associations
• Management & business dealings

In this regard, any information on scandals or ethical lapses on the GOP candidates would serve well. We won’t be picky.

Again, we think our goals mirror those of the DNC. We look forward to continuing the conversation.

There were many failures of the Hillary Clinton Campaign, The DNC, and the Democratic Party, in the 2016 Presidential Election where tactical blunders were made in the efforts to establish dishonest control over the election in their attempts to get Hillary Clinton elected as the first woman president of the United States. From the collusion of the DNC, Super Delegates, and the Hillary Clinton Campaign, against Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Primary Election, to tactics to control the outcome of the Republican Frontrunners and Republican Primary Results. The unethical behavior, dishonesty, corruption, and lawlessness of the Clinton Campaign, and the DNC certainly requires a thorough review for possible illegalities and possible prosecution where warranted, and at the minimum action taken by the Democratic Party, to ensure the the persons involve in this never again hold a position in the power in the party where they may attempt to influence against the will of the voters again...

When it comes to placing blame in the outcome of the 2016 Election and the subsequent Presidency of Donald Trump, the blame is firmly on the shoulders of the Clinton Campaign and the colluding Democratic National Committee (DNC). There is no blame on any other candidate or their supporters who were hapless victims of the Clinton Election Team running the most dishonest campaign in US History...

The future of our country and the world was/is at stake with the people against the plutocracy, and the election came down to two of the worst possible candidates in history from their efforts...

Whether the the Left Liberal Progressive can find a home in the Democratic Party is strongly in doubt. Their input to candidates and policy being ignored and circumvented by the party hierarchy will not be tolerated by the progressives, the current economic and environmental situation is too urgent . The current lack of a genuine post mortem analysis of the flawed and failed Clinton Campaign without consequences and genuine change in the "New Democrat Party" to abandon it's NeoLiberal Third Way bias and allow the peaceful transition to return to the working middle class people and the badly needed "New Deal" for this country. Without that extinction of the Democratic Party is ensured a new Left Liberal Progressive Party will be born.
