Clinton was praying for Trump to win the nomination

The latest Wikileaks disclosure showed that almost any Republican could beat Hillary Clinton except for one.  I believe that the liberal media built up John McCain until he was nominated, then turned on him to support Obama. I have the sense that the same thing is happening with Trump. They kept the other Republican candidates in a new vacuum, saving the really good dirt on Trump until after he was nominated. This is opinion of course, but it fits the pattern.

Of course the media went all out to nominate Hillary. Jim Webb, did a great job in the first debate, but got almost no coverage, ensuring that his views would not be heard. From Wikipedia:

In the first Democratic presidential debate on October 13, Webb reaffirmed many of his moderate policy stances: Particular examples included his skepticism of gun control (pointing out that the other candidates, who were for gun control, were guarded by armed bodyguards on a regular basis), as well as his foreign policy credentials in regards to the Middle East.^[19] Also, on the topic of the Black Lives Matter movement, when the candidates were asked if all lives matter or black lives matter, Webb was the only one who said "all lives matter."^{[20][not in citation given]} As a result, Webb was the third most-searched of the five candidates on Google during the night, behind the frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.^{[21][not in citation given]} Also, Webb saw the most significant increase in national poll numbers in the immediate aftermath of the debate; in a Gravis Marketing/One America News Network poll released the day after the debate, Webb's percentage went up from an average of 1% or 2% to 12%.^[22]

Here's an update, the Clinton team was promoting Trump even before he declared his candidacy
