Robo Calls to suppress voters, push polling, questioning a candidates religion,
questioning a candidate patriotism, guilt by association tactics, etc.

That list sounds like a listing of the normal Republican electoral tactics, and it is. Unfortunately, it's also a small part of the list of tactics being used by the Hillary campaign.

When the GOP is out doing anything to get elected this fall, there will be many Democrats that will be able to identify with what they are doing. There will be many Democrats that have actively participated and supported such tactics. There will be many Democrats who have no claim to the moral high ground.

Robo calls designed to suppress the African American vote - what the heck have we become?

Race, religion and patriotism as issues in a Democratic Primary - have we truly sunk this low?

2. A very similar response that a GOP relative gave me in 2004.
Like I said - there will be many Democrats that will be able to identify with the GOP's do anything to win campaign in November.

But that does not change the fact that "Women's Voices, Women Vote" has been busted for making Robo call targeting the African American communities in North Carolina. Nor does it change the fact that the firm of the new chief campaign strategist for Hillary was discovered push polling in North Carolina.

All Hillary has left is GOP tactics - she tried to run a campaign without them, but she was getting her tailed kick.
