The political rhetorical technique known as "the big lie" has been around, probably since the onset of competitive politics itself. Lie, say it again even louder, LIE! Say it often, say it with conviction, say it with passion. Eventually you yourself, and others will believe it.
Donald Trump's portrayal of "crooked Hillary" is at the very least ironic, at most outright lying -- as he attempts to distract from the phalanx of "good soldiers" falling around him. Indicted, accused, self-confessed, and complicit -- the whole Trump-picked squad smells of crookedness. And yet he mouths his mantra of "crooked Hillary" without proof, without sense, without any official support from anyone save his own cadre of dufus supporters. Dufus is as dufus does!
Resist anyway!
