purported spray tan, tiny fingers, and dog whistle proclivities.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Smoking Gun<\/p>\n
JULY 5–The Democratic Party\u2019s plan to crash this month\u2019s Republican National Convention is heavy on gimmicks and stunts meant to highlight a possible \u201cTrumpocalypse,\u201d as well as to ridicule the presumptive GOP candidate\u2019spurported spray tan, tiny fingers, and dog whistle proclivities.<\/p>\n
The Democratic National Committee\u2019s \u201cCounter Convention Plan Sketch\u201d<\/a>covers 22 pages and outlines the party\u2019s activities in Cleveland, where the Republican convention begins July 18. Democratic operatives will launch their operation a week earlier, on July 11, to coincide with the opening of the RNC\u2019s summer meeting.<\/p>\n A copy of the plan was obtained by the hacker \u201cGuccifer 2.0,\u201d who breached party servers and made off with DNC financial records, e-mails, research reports, and other documents. In e-mails to TSG, \u201cGuccifer 2.0\u201d has claimed to be a Romanian \u201chacktivist,\u201d though security researchers who have examined the DNC breach have said that the infiltration appears to be the work of a Russian espionage unit.<\/p>\n The DNC plan notes that the party\u2019s efforts in Cleveland will cost in excess of $800,000<\/a>. In addition to 16 staffers on the ground, the party will have numerous surrogates available for media interviews and an RV to \u201cserve as a mobile billboard\u201d and green room. The plan was honed when the GOP field narrowed to Donald One \u201clive-staged\u201d activity listed in the plan is a \u201cJerry Springer \u2018Live\u2019 fake show between Trump\/Cruz\/Kasich delegates.\u201d<\/a> While this stunt in not further described, the plan notes that, \u201cJerry said he wanted to be involved.\u201d Springer, 72, is a former Democratic mayor of Cincinnati.<\/p>\n DNC officials also plan to<\/a> \u201cinfiltrate friendly union hotels and properties around the convention that Republicans will be patronizing to distribute \u2018care\u2019 packages\u201d to those who will be sickened by Trump\u2019s nomination.<\/p>\n The plan also envisions a citywide strike<\/a> by fast food workers, presumably over the fight for a $15-an-hour minimum wage. In the alternative, the strike could occur at \u201cfranchises around convention,\u201d which will be held at the Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland.<\/p>\n On the morning the convention opens, the plan notes, Democrats will host a\u201cCereal & Bailey\u2019s Breakfast,\u201d<\/a> a reference to RNC chair The DNC plan lists other hokey proposed stunts, like:<\/p>\n *<\/strong> A \u201cTrumpocalypse Survival kit\u201d<\/a> tote bag with a barf bag, Tylenol, Alka Seltzer, and a clothespin \u201cto hold nose while voting for Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n *<\/strong> The production of an eight-page \u201cTrump Tabloid\u201d<\/a> designed to look like the New York Post. The paper–\u201cideal for dumping oppo\u201d research on the developer–would include a Trump-penned advice column entitled \u201cHow to Talk to Women.\u201d<\/p>\n *<\/strong> Volunteers dressed as limousine drivers<\/a> would go to the airport and meet arriving RNC members with \u201csigns with messaging about Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n *<\/strong> Attendees at a media lunch would be served food \u201cfrom countries Trump has offended.\u201d<\/a> The menu would offer tacos and hummus and pita.<\/p>\n *<\/strong> A Trump \u201cSuccessful Businessman Starter Kit\u201d<\/a> would include a $40 million check from \u201cyour Dad\u201d and a diploma from Trump University.<\/p>\n *<\/strong> Producing milk cartons with the photos of the many GOP leaders who are skipping the convention.<\/p>\n The plan\u2019s \u201cother ideas\u201d section notes that volunteers and interns could get dressed as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee and perform \u201cTrump things.\u201d<\/a> Another idea is described as a \u201cWH\/Administration ask\u201d<\/a> for the provision of \u201ctopline surrogates\/cabinet secretaries?\u201d (16 pages)<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/thesmokinggun.com\/sites\/default\/files\/assets\/handclapper.jpg\")
