During this primary election cycle, a deceptive ploy by Democrats to get their candidates an easier ride into office has emerged–funneling campaign ad dollars into efforts to get the opponent of their choosing on the other side. The topic was brought up Sunday, surprisingly, during ABC News’ “This Week With George Stephanopoulos,” by co-host Martha Raddatz. Earlier in the program, as my colleague Bonchie shared, former mayor of Atlanta and current Biden senior adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms doubled down on the dangerous, hateful rhetoric President Joe Biden spewed

I'm not sure how candidates are chosen, I thought RNCC plays a hand in screening and background checks - boosting those who show merit and promise. But by the sheer number of RINOs and doofuses, yeah, I'd say the Dems have a long history helping to pick our candidates.

Well at least Biden is not lying. Making America Great is definitely not and never has been part of his agenda so I am surprised that everyone has their bloomers in a twist over his hideous speech. He occasionally slips and tells the truth and this has been one of those times. The last big trip was telling us that he would win the last election with the biggest fraud operation that has ever been assembled. He lies alot but when he tells the truth about how corrupt his party is you need to listen.

Democrats and election shenanigans go together like white on rice, it's their cred. They cheat and they get away with it. There is no moral high ground when it comes to elections and Democrats. It's a race to the bottom.

The fact the Dems can’t win a straight up election without devious work arounds speaks volumes about their rotten policies.

I guess that these demonrat strategists have forgotten that Hillary and company were desperate to run against Trump because they thought he was unelectable. We know how that worked out. Do they think that the country truly views so called MAGA candidates as extreme? After the complete disaster of the last 21 months?

They should be asking uncomfortable questions. We have dumb and dishonest people running the country into the ground. Prosperity and safety for the people is not even on their agenda.

It's not hard. Make sure the general election is a three way race. A Democrat versus a MAGA Republican versus a Soros funded RINO.

This tactic is just more evidence of how out of touch Democrats are. Look at some video of a Trump rally vs a Biden appearance and tell me MAGA candidates are unelectable.

So what does a country do when everyone including the opposition party knows democrats are cheating in order to win elections. Evidently, we are just supposed to let it go and watch the country dissolve into the absolute chaos we are witnessing today. Democrats lie, cheat and steal as a part of their unwritten platform and it remains the backbone of their agenda. It is a given and no one in that party objects. Then we have Republicans who urge everyone to just move on and stop trying to bring up the 2020 election theft. Democrats steal elections because they know that Republicans will not pursue it with any conviction. This is the circle of life in American politics.
We are living through the most corrupt, criminal and lawless administration in our history, and I am astounded by the apathy of our Republican leadership. Every piece of evidence points to massive election fraud in 2020. Yet, many Republicans are afraid to even mention it. Apparently, they are content to allow this wretched party do whatever they want. We all know what democrats would have done had they lost the Presidency under similar circumstances. What shenanigans democrats are up to, you can rest assured will be ignored.
When you hear a speech from the POTUS delivered in that manner, in such a setting, with hateful and divisive rhetoric, all bets are off. Conservatives have been targeted by their own government along with the sycophantic media that continues with the verbal abuse and false accusations against us. This is so dangerous.

So any non-Mitch McConnell approved candidates in Republican primaries are a Democrat plot? I see. . .

Politics ain't beanbag. This and other questionable tactics are used by both sides for one reason...they work. And they work because the boobs fall for the superficial, their minds closed to alternatives that might actually be better. It is not unknown for political kingmaker-wannabes to flood primaries with bought-nad-paid candidates to dilute the vote in favor of their fave. Or to detract from the "frontrunner". Take Alaska, for example...
#1 - Any fool paying a few bucks filing fee can run for office, and with enough (and that's not many) signatures in some states, makes the primary field. The party vets no one. It is likely some fool will win, and what if there is all sorts of dirt dredged up in the vetting? Best left alone, don't you think? Hooray for our side!!

Democraps have been fielding weak "Conservative" candidates against real Republican candidates forever. If nothing else they suck off enough votes to put the Democrap into office. Can we just call it FRAUD and put them in Jail?

Doug Mastriano's ads in PA were openly financed by Josh Shapiro, his Democrat opponent. Asking about the tactic isn't an uncomfortable question for Democrats; ABC knows that.

The media must sense that some MAGA candidates boosted by the Demmies will win. Mastriano in PA is only trailing by a few points despite the endless barrage of negative coverage and copious money spent for the Demoncrat candidate.

I don’t believe there will ever be another fair election. I’m sorry but the Republicans in office are a complete joke. Not one bit of out cry from any of them including Desantis and Abott

It is quite obvious that the republicans in Washington have been bought off with Russian or Chinese money...especially McConnell and his commie connected wife...the only hope WE have is to bring MAGA to DC ...let's roll!!

The reason we have freedom of the press and the First Amendment is for the press to be a watchdog on government.... not a cheerleader.

This is entirely consistent with the Kokistocracy that Biden and the Democrats have put in place. If a Republican replaces Biden in 2024, I hope the voters will give him a good conservative House and Senate to back him up. It will take a lot of work to clean out the swap. The Democrats and the MSM will fight him ever which way.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t consider this tactic cheating, really.
If the Republicans are stupid enough to have open primaries, they get this result. What else can you say?

So the Dems give us MAGA candidates to vote for. If we elect them, we win, and they don't.

If only #23 was the way it works. The Left aren't running MAGA candidates for us to elect, but to split our vote and get their candidate better odds of winning. Remember when H. Ross Perot ran on the Right, which splitt the GOP vote and got Bubba two terms as President? Same the other way with Ralph Nader, whose candidacy split the Dem vote and got Dubya two terms.
Open primaries and ranked voting are two things that make the process primed for devious strategies. (And did the GOP freely choose to adopt them, #22? I thought the state of CA made primaries 'open' for both parties at least a few election cycles ago.)

Only reason some on the left are questioning the tactic is they feel it will backfire. The tactic goes along with the speech last week to reinforce the Democrat's anti-America campaign.
I also see it as proof the left has no good candidates to offer so they want to tilt the field to the left.

In 2016 we had fifteen mediocre rejects from various local governments and lackluster businesses and Donald Trump. Republican voters chose correctly even if nobody else did. The democrats and their hag suffered a big loss and it drove them insane.
