    This memo is intended to outline the strategy and goals a potential Hillary Clinton presidential campaign would have regarding the 2016 Republican presidential field. Clearly most of what is contained in this memo is work the DNC is already doing. This exercise is intended to put those ideas to paper.

    Our Goals & Strategy

    Our hope is that the goal of a potential HRC campaign and the DNC would be one-in-the-same: to make whomever the Republicans nominate unpalatable to a majority of the electorate. We have outlined three strategies to obtain our goal:

    1) Force all Republican candidates to lock themselves into extreme conservative positions that will hurt them in a general election;

    2) Undermine any credibility/trust Republican presidential candidates have to make inroads to our coalition or independents;

    3) Muddy the waters on any potential attack lodged against HRC.

    Operationalizing the Strategy

    Pied Piper Candidates

    There are two ways to approach the strategies mentioned above. The first is to use the field as a whole to inflict damage on itself similar to what happened to Mitt Romney in 2012. The variety of candidates is a positive here, and many of the lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right. In this scenario, we don’t want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more “Pied Piper” candidates who actually represent the mainstream of the Republican Party. Pied Piper candidates include, but aren’t limited to:

    • Ted Cruz
    • Donald Trump
    • Ben Carson

    We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to them seriously.
