that was explicitly the strategy of the Clinton campaign. pied piper. email leaks confirmed that later. they figured if they could get a clown as the republican nomination it would be easy for Hillary to win.

Yup. Fun fact: Nixon did something similar with George Wallace.

Oh, and reminder, Donald Trump didn't announce his run until June 16, 2015.
