They perfected it with Hillary.

1. Spot up-and-comers in the Dem party.

2. Start the attacks early, with generally insignificant facts and factoids, and innuendo and outright lies.

3. Lather, rinse, repeat to weaken them on the way up, so if they do make the national stage, their minions already hate them.

They're expanding these attacks to most of the Dems that might be threats to them in coming election cycles.
