DNC's promotion of Donald Trump as straw candidate

Those of you who have some degree of dislike for Donald Trump need to understand that the Democratic National Campaign Committee is responsible for his presence in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 Presidential elections. The intent was to run him as a straw candidate against Hillary Clinton in 2016. I present the following evidence to support that assertion:

Precedent: McCaskill promotes Todd Akin in the primary, so she can defeat him in the general election: How I helped Todd Akin win - so I could defeat him

Anointing of DNC's favored candidates in: 

2008 Obama over Hillary (it wasn't her turn)

2012 Obama was the incumbent - no primary

2016 Hillary, by way of "superdelegates" (it was finally Her turn)

2020 Biden over all contenders (sorry, Bernie, sorry, Pete)

Bill Clinton encourages Trump to run in 2016

Lawfare leading up to 2022 and 2024 election cycles (this is playing out in real time. I may post a summary after November.)

My read on all this is that it isn't merely election interference, which would be bad enough, but that it's election manipulation. How far have we fallen here in this country?

First Try  This is my foray into the blogosphere, not as a commenter, as I've been doing that for some years now, but about creating new posts about any old thing that comes to mind. My initial idea was to make this the repository for my memories from early childhood on forward, but I may just keep that in the personal archives. I may share links that look to be newsworthy, or maybe random stuff about cars, travel, music, language, and whatever falls off the internet and hits me on the head. (Wish I'd come up with that, but someone already has a site covering it.) Here's one that just came up today, and it was of interest because a columnist at the Wisconsin State Journal, George Hesselberg, wrote about it year after year. It was a tragic loss. A man's bones were found in a chimney at a music store on University Avenue in Madison, and for years his identity was unknown. Recently, forensic scientists were able to obtain enough DNA samples to connect with his ancestors an...
