"Virtually everyone in the elite media reacted to the debate by focusing in on that 20-year-old story as represented by Clinton and the left.
The story’s subject, Alicia Machado, was on the surface the perfect victim for Hillary’s campaign – a female Hispanic -- picked on by a bullying, insensitive man.
Wrestling with a weight problem is something that virtually everyone (including me) can identify with.
This was perfect casting for the morality play of Mean Trump versus Victimized Women.
And then, thanks to a remarkable Washington Poststory (amazing that they would print it), we learned that it was indeed a “casting.”
Although Machado claimed to the LA Times that “she was surprised to hear the Democratic nominee tell her story Monday night,” we now know that the Clinton campaign had been working with Machado for months. The campaign set up news media coverage including a magazine story featuring Machado and the American flag. The left-wing media (the Clinton campaign's offensive arm) was ready and leaning forward.
The whole story was embargoed until after the debate.
Think about that.
Everyone in the news media who had the story knew something was going to happen in the debate to give them an excuse to pile on in discrediting Trump and creating the newest American victim-heroine.
Hillary must have almost panicked when she realized that she had not mentioned Machado in the debate and that time was running out. So she did her job and simply inserted it totally out of the flow of conversation. Read the transcript and note how she swerves away from the line of debate to insert a new hit that she had to get in.
So Machado got two sentences from Hillary in the debate, and three days of saturation coverage from the elite media.
Of course, as we learn more about the story, everything has gradually gotten weirder and weirder (as it often does with the left).
A Venezuelan prosecutor says that Machado threatened to kill him if he prosecuted her boyfriend for murder.
Machado was accused of driving the getaway car for the murder.
Machado was identified as the mistress of a major Mexican drug lord. The witness who testified about the murder went into witness protection and was later killed in Mexico City.
So the Clinton version of Machado was as false as her lies about Benghazi or her lies about being under fire in Bosnia or her lies about the email server or her lies about deleting only non-work emails or her lies about favors for the Clinton Foundation. The list of Clinton lies goes on and on."
