The Clinton strategy is very simple; it's a war of attrition. The
recipe is quite straightforward and only requires a monumental amount of
chutzpah.



It works like this: Say something outrageous. People will protest
loudly. Back down a bit. After the outrage dies down, say the same
thing, perhaps with minor modifications. There will be outrage again,
but a lot less of it. Keep at it for weeks or months, or years if need be. Never admit that
you're wrong or anything silly like that.



The end result is that your opponents are worn down and tired. They no longer have the energy to argue or even protest. You can simply outshout them. They'll fold.

Not everyone can pull off this strategy. The user needs to be a fundamentally dishonest person, or at least brainwashed (the strategy can be used in both politics and religion). Intelligent and honest people are incapable of using this method because it goes against their principles. They are reluctant to lie and in some cases even believe that ends do not justify the means.

When this strategy is properly deployed, it is almost impossible to fight against. The opponents must be ever vigilant and have virtually inexhaustible energy. On top of that, they must withstand mind-numbing repetition. This is extremely difficult and therefore this method rarely fails.

I'm sure everyone can fill in examples of persons and groups who have successfully used this strategy in the past.
