    long before it was clear that Trump would be the nominee. Or that he would be assisted by Russia.

    How are either of those things relevant to the fact that Clinton elevated Trump? It’s possible to elevate someone and for them to still lose, it’s also possible for two different people to elevate someone, so neither of those things contradict the claim at all.

      Because she didn’t. The “pied piper” strategy is to smear your opposition as being in line with the weirdest fringe of their party. That also included Ted Cruz, by the way. That’s not elevating anyone, it’s saying, “Trump is a mainstream Republican, they have to own him.”
