... when the RNC tried to rig the 2016 Primary for Jeb Bush.
The DNC is doing it now too.
You run a bunch of candidates that cover all the issues so that coalitions are split, keeping a large crowd in the game.
The idea in 2016 was that moderate Jeb Bush would do well enough in the early split-delegate states that he would get a share of delegates even while not winning states.
Then it would get to Florida, where they made that state a winner-take-all for the first time (not a coincidence it was Jeb's home state). He was supposed to win all 99 delegates, gain a huge lead on all the other GOP candidates who had been splitting delegates in the prior states.
The headlines and narrative would be propagandized that Jeb was the front-runner with an insurmountable lead. Voters would flock to the front-runner in upcoming primaries, increasing the lead and forcing the others to drop out.
If Jeb had faltered too early... the establishment would go to bought-and-paid for Marco Rubio, also a Florida guy.
They were going to do anything they could to prevent Ted Cruz, who was too outsider for them.
And they had no idea what Trump was going to do. They couldn't plan for, nor could they defeat it... though they tried their best to cheat him.
What's funny is that in 2016, there were essentially 4 serious candidates at the end. Trump, Cruz, Sanders and Clinton.
3 considered "outsiders" and "threats" to the establishment and 1 that was the deepest establishment candidate there could ever be.
99% of news was against Trump, Cruz and Sanders, while 99% was glowing in favor of Clinton. Not a coincidence.
And of course... Trump, Cruz and Sanders made up about 65-70% of all votes cast in the 2016 primary, showing just how disgusted America is with establishment candidates. Yet the media never narrated that truth, they spent the entire time telling you Hillary was unstoppable, popular and a transformational candidate making history. Not a coincidence.
Despite the fake news and DC Democrat bubble, almost the entire country threw their support to one of the outsiders.
