Today I remembered a link I saved eons ago about Right Wing tactics for 2016 elections.

How the Right targeted the Left to get at Clinton:

This is typical for the GOP when it comes to our Democratic Leaders, no matter who they are.. From WJC to Gore to Kerry to Obama>

One comment suggested the critiques about Clinton were factual - they were not. I saw some of these memes: They often used specious arguments, not based on facts, antagonistic spin which all amounted to a relentless swiftboating campaign.

It worked.
