    How are either of those things relevant to the fact that Clinton elevated Trump?

    Because she didn’t. The “pied piper” strategy is to smear your opposition as being in line with the weirdest fringe of their party. That also included Ted Cruz, by the way. That’s not elevating anyone, it’s saying, “Trump is a mainstream Republican, they have to own him.”

      That’s not what the Pied Piper strategy is or what happened.
