2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum^^Fundraiser email created 6/4 for a "surprise" event on 6/6???^^
And the url for the photo in the mailer includes the terms "hfa" for Hillary For America, and "secret win" along with the date it was created 6/4/16. Wow,
(Here's the full url of the HFA instagram pic for the mailer, which I just found, I put a space before the initial "a" and "hfa" because unbroken it would display the photo here instead of the link; photo at bottom of this post:

And anyone BUYS THAT as NOT preplanned???? WTF is wrong with the thinking equipment?
And no, a "normal" pre-planned press release doesn't cover it. This was created between one candidate and the major media to massively influence an election against the other candidate. The INTENTION here is quite obvious, and no, THAT IS NOT OK. Damn! How much crime against the public will people swallow? Just what is the term "SECRET WIN" supposed to mean? Normal? Ho Hum? WTeverlastingF!
That is a smoking gun, right there. It proves fraud and collusion to throw the election.
When people hear about this, in spite of the MSM blackout on it, and they are beginning to hear about it already all over social media, there will be a shitstorm in California. #SecretWin and #APretract are the big news on sTwitter today.
So, what does this tell us?
That Hillary spent last weekend planning that ridiculous Puerto Rico lie, and setting up this Surprise Coronation by the AP and NBC timed for Monday night, the night before a big multi-state election which she was losing badly in CA (and there are screenshots of local NBC polls to prove it). What a piece of work she is! And now she's going to announce what a great and historic win this is, and how "humble" she feels about it!!!!! OMG!!!
I CANNOT WAIT FOR HER SPEECH TONIGHT, TO SEE HER WALK RIGHT INTO THIS STEAMING PILE OF DOG POO OF HER OWN SNEAKY MAKING.
And here it is... the photo of our sweet little angel Hillary in her campaign's fundraiser email that they created on Saturday 6/4 to immediately churn some money on the "surprise" presumptive nominee announcement by the AP on Monday night 6/6. Notice that it proves COLLUSION with the AP because it's made to imitate a tweet of their own. And now, I understand the POTUS and VPOTUS were among the "surprise"" anonymous extra supers that were suddenly "found", so they willingly participated in this too! WTF. It's from the URL in the 1st paragraph above, on Hillary's instagram account.
Photo has been archived online in case it disappears, and I took my own screenshot of it, as I encourage all to follow the link above and do too.

(42,862 posts)... but, I guess there will always be a certain segment of the population who are predisposed to believing conspiracy theories.
It's been my experience with people I've encountered in real life, that if they believe in one wacky theory, they also believe them all. Whether it's crop-circles, anti-vax, chem-trails, 9-11, JFK Assassination, Area 51 and Aliens, Faked moon landings, etc ... you name it. Show me someone who believes in one, and I'll show you someone who's likely to believe in more than one.

They made a screenshot of Twitter's post. How did they do this days ago?
ljm2002
(10,751 posts)...you would know that the Twitter post itself occurred after AP called the race:
(...)
The video showed the e-mail on the screen; when the user clicked to save the embedded graphic, she claimed that it then showed the following filename: a.hrc.onl/imageman/2016_Q2-Email/20160605_hfa_graphic/secret-win-V2-060416c_02.png. The graphic was hosted on what appeared to be a Clinton campaign "intranet" inaccessible to the general public and probably used to host campaign-related content. According to the video, the graphic appears to have been created on 4 June 2016, two days before to the AP's pre-primary call:
(...)
It is true that the Twitter video's claims checked out. The campaign's e-mail was sent out after the 6 June 2016 call by Associated Press, and the embedded image was ambiguously titled "secret-win-V2-060416c_02.png" But "V2" implied at least two versions of the graphic existed, another of which might have shown an entirely different outcome to the 7 June 2016 primaries.
The Snopes caveat about there possibly being 2 versions does not make sense to me; furthermore, naming the file with "secret-win" embedded in the name is, shall we say, suggestive, and tends to argue against there being a different version with a different outcome.
joshcryer
(62,276 posts)The first thing you have to explain is how the fuck a screen shot can be made two days before it happened.
Clue, it can't. The campaign graphics people either had a template with that name, or, my opinion, they purposefully made the file name that to fuck with everyone.
ljm2002
(10,751 posts)..."they purposefully made the file name that to fuck with everyone."
Sure, Josh, sure. That's the simplest explanation.
joshcryer
(62,276 posts)The explanation that "secret-win" stands for "Secretary Win" and that the template had an earlier date that just so happens to be 4 which is under the 7 on the number pad gives the submitter of the file plausible deniality. Until you realize 8 files had the name in sequential order.
Anyone with brains working on the upload side would have seen it. You are being laughed at and mocked by their image team. Oh, and they are getting a confirmation that everyone irrationally hates Clinton.

(1,220 posts)a backup plan. Just because the Sanders campaign didn't see it coming is just par for the course. As I said, a smart campaign would have a backup plan.
Waiting For Everyman
(9,385 posts)As she claimed. What was that about, if this was routine? Clearly, it wasn't. And why refer to it as "secret win"?
This is really obvious, and the spin doesn't cover it at all.

(27,315 posts)We can discuss about SD and all that (this is a legitimate discussion), but we all knew Hillary Clinton will pass the bar the media consider as winning today.
The only surprise (and this is what should be discussed) is why some guy at AP, knowing that it would happen, found necessary to hound superdelegates to find 20 new ones. This is something I do not quite get. (I think this may have to do with close polls in CA)
but the fact the email was made a few days ago is not surprising.

Edit to add:
This is the initial tweet by the reporter for the LA Times, Christina Bellantoni.

As of now, there are:

1,749
That's the retweets and likes of one tweet, by one poster. Nah, no interest. I'm sure there were no other tweets about it by anybody.
Waiting For Everyman
(9,385 posts)The tweet in the post above is now at 2500 retweets and 2239 likes. That's high, but it's not astronomical.
But what's more unusual is this. MY one retweet was retweeted again 49 times! And I was mentioned in reference to that one tweet 18 times.
The norm: I rarely ever get mentions, and my usual is about 1 to 3 retweets, if I tweet out about 5 to 10 things a day.
So... a lot of people know what went down, and they are NOT having it and not a bit happy about it. I predict there will be a bill to pay from this theft.

(1,771 posts)But then something so incredibly stupid like this comes along.
1. You don't need to do a screenshot or save it in a secret vault. It's still sitting on her Instagram page and feeling that special kind of "love" that only a Bernie supporter can give.
2. The URL that you claim is from the actual image is complete (I'm talking 100%) bullshit
3. I received the text at around 7:30 MST on June 6, 2016 that included this image and reported the AP story.
You should just let this thread die. It's not a good reflection on your observation skills.

(9,086 posts)Motive established:
A USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll released Thursday evening shows Sanders leading with 44 percent to Clinton's 43 percent.
...
But, the poll found, Clinton has a 10-point lead among those likely to vote next week, primarily due to support from older voters.
Sanders has continued to close the gap between him and Clinton and has been campaigning hard across the state.
Bernie Sanders has tapped into a wellspring of support in the Democratic primary over the last several weeks and hes closing with a rush, said Dan Schnur, director of USCs Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics, which partnered with the L.A. Times to conduct the poll.
"If Clinton manages to hold him off and win the primary, it would be as a result of a low turnout that tilts the electorate in her direction."
...
This is not a conspiracy theory.
Means, motive, and opportunity are all there.
Hillary benefited greatly. This will go down in history as one of the great all time dirty tricks and media manipulations.

(14,040 posts)I've been a web developer for PETA (lots of last minute press releases going out there), PBS and NPR. If we knew something was coming down the pike, we did this thing called "preparing." That's right...we got stuff done ahead of time so when the big news dropped, we were ready to release it a moment later. It's called being organized--if you're organization is worth any salt, you're always organized and prepared for big news releases. Most well-oiled organizations don't like to scramble around trying to get things done after the fact.
It was pretty obvious after this weekend, that HRC was going to become the presumptive nominee by the latest, Tuesday. If I'm in charge of marketing, I'm telling my designers and developers to get things ready for when that happens. If this race were any closer, I'd say that Bernie's team would have been doing the same thing. Creating content for when the inevitable happens and dropping it immediately after it's been announced.
If you haven't worked in organizations that rely heavily on social media and email marketing, then maybe it's hard to comprehend doing things ahead of time.
PS: Did you know when a team goes to the World Series or the Super Bowl, they make swag for both teams, so that no matter who wins, they have the appropriate swag available at the end of the day.
Waiting For Everyman
(9,385 posts)And does the media outlet they choose to pre-prepare the logo for just happen to be the one to just happen to be minding their own business doing their thing, and oops! just happen to locate just enough extra supers to make it an event the night before the big election that they fear?
And then they state how surprised they are!

(14,040 posts)What I see is a graphic designer being cute. Naming files can be boring and sometimes we put things we think are cute to amuse ourselves. But, in this case, you believe the sky is green and no matter how many blue skies I show you, you won't believe it.

Which is when the media was expected to announce this. There's a huge victory party in Brooklyn, which was all a part of the plan, too. Instead they had to roll it out a day early because of the AP announcement.
Really, it's not anything nefarious. Of course they've been planning for this moment, it has been obvious for quite some time now that after her win tonight in New Jersey she'd have had it locked up. It just happened a bit earlier than they expected.
On edit: I just realized this was the AP's graphic. I was a graphic designer at a print publication (newspaper). This was a several years ago, but once it was all about beating the competition to the Internet post we did double graphics for political, and major sports events. Which equaled more work for this salaried person, but it's the standard.
In this case, I doubt there was even an order to make a Bernie graphic. Just a rush to be the first to break the Hillary wins news. Which was reckless, IMO. Yet, it is what it is.

(68,667 posts)It was sent out after the AP called it...haha.
"Hillary Clinton was careful not to claim victory ahead of all the contests Tuesday after the Associated Press declared her to have clinched the needed number of delegates to be the Democratic nominee.
But her campaign sent out a fundraising email to capitalize on the historic moment. It thanks supporters, but adds that the primary "isn't (quite) over" and urges people to "show Hillary that you have her back."
The images in the email were labeled "secret win."
