WikiLeaks: Hillary pressured Illinois to change its primary as a 'political favor'

We already know that the Clintons and the DNC conspired to rig the Democrat primary race. I guess Clinton cheating quickly qualifies as "old news" and gives the media an excuse not to talk about it. But did you know that Hillary tried to rig the Republican primary race too? Then again, why should that surprise you? Of course she would, if she could. And according to the latest release from WikiLeaks, she thought she could:

Hillary Clinton’s campaign tried to move the Illinois presidential primary to a later date, saying a contest held after the Super Tuesday primaries might stop momentum for a moderate Republican candidate and emphasizing that Clinton and her husband “won’t forget” a political favor, emails made public on Thursday show.

The most hilarious thing about this is that Hillary's campaign thought they had to emphasize the request was not an Obama imperative, because Obama's name is mud in Illinois. At any rate, the request went nowhere. It's not that easy to reschedule a primary, and Hillary surely knows that after all the years she's been in politics. It says a lot about the Clinton political mindset, though, that they believed they could send an e-mail to political operatives in Illinois and make this happen. And let there be no doubt: Hillary's people thought they would be in trouble if they were facing a "moderate Republican," whoever they may have had in mind (presumably Bush or Kasich), and if they could get their Democrat allies in Illinois to do anything that would tip the scales in favor of Hillary's preferred general election opponent, they were going to do it. There are some who are poo-pooing this today, claiming it's nothing more than a political campaign doing political campaign things. But you know it's more than that. It's Hillary using any leverage she can, fair or unfair, to her political advantage. If that's what she does now, as a candidate, what do you think she would do as president? Many people say you can't elect Donald Trump because he doesn't know enough about governing. What Hillary knows about governing is how to pull crap like this, and given the chance, she will do so every time to her own advantage. That's why it's far more dangerous to elect her than it is to elect him.
