  They cooked that one up months before the campaigns even got underway. Hillary was always a terrible candidate I. this regar; that they had know she'd do a big run, and had literally decades to build oppo research and a smear campaign. I mean, it was obvious that she was a bad candidate in this regard as early as 2013.
  
  Harris I think really did catch them off guard. Which is a bit surprising?

  I don't think they're either really "on purpose" or "accidents". It's not calculated, it's just who these people naturally are. And it plays because unfortunately a lot of us Americans are idiots.
