http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/28/us/politics/donald-trump-campaign-voter-suppression.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=0Donald J. Trumps campaign set off a wave of concern about its tactics on Thursday after a senior campaign official was quoted describing a sophisticated voter suppression effort, a term that usually connotes aggressive attempts to keep people from polling places.
The anxiety among Republicans outside the Trump campaign was set off by a report in Businessweek in which the unidentified official used the term to describe the teams approach to three core groups of Hillary Clintons supporters.
The report came after weeks of diatribes from Mr. Trump questioning the basic integrity of the election. At a rally on Thursday afternoon, he joked that the election should be called off and he should be crowned the winner.
We have three major voter suppression operations underway, says a senior official, the Businessweek report said. Theyre aimed at three groups Clinton needs to win overwhelmingly: idealistic white liberals, young women, and African-Americans.

Robbie Mook is hardly rocking in his chair with surprise that they would be up to this.

Bring up Bernie (who now wholeheartedly supports Hillary) to discourage white liberals, Bill Clinton's alleged sex-partners to turn off young women and telling AA's they are poorly educated, live hell and will be shot while attempting to buy bread.
Brilliant! Checkmate libtards!
Like he says: may as well just call off the election and anoint him right now.
