New documents released by the site WikiLeaks revealed a list of taglines that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton considered using as her slogan for the 2016 campaign.

The email was sent from Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook to a group of campaign strategists and pollsters, and included an attachment that listed 85 potential slogans that the campaign could employ.

While Republican nominee Donald Trump came out of the gate with the slogan, “Make America Great Again,” the Clinton campaign went through a long, drawn out process in order to settle on a slogan.

The document attached to the email lists the potential slogans under one of eight themes; 1) Fairness/Families, 2) Fighter, 3) Basic Bargain/Make America Work, 4) Results/Count on, 5) Strength, 6) In it together, 7) Future/Forward, and 8) It’s about you.

The campaign decided to use “Stronger Together” as its slogan for the campaign, which was listed under the theme of “strength.”

Clinton campaign press secretary Brian Fallon told NPR that “stronger together” is a shorter, “21st century” version of the idea behind “It Takes A Village,” the title of Clinton’s 1996 book. “She, I think, was struggling in the Democratic primaries to identify a message and a tag line that summed up the purpose of her campaign,” former top Obama strategist David Axelrod opined. “Donald Trump has given her a purpose.”

WikiLeaks has released thousands of emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s Gmail account. The leaked emails exposed the inner workings of the Hillary Clinton campaign and how the campaign is run behind closed doors.

The emails have revealed the transcripts of paid speeches that Clinton gave to Wall Street and paid speeches that she gave to foreign banks where she supported open trade and open borders. The campaign has refused to release or discuss the paid speeches.

The Clinton campaign has refused to confirm the authenticity of all the emails, and instead has pushed the message that they are victims of Russian hackers trying to swing the election in Trump’s favor. The strategy is to question the veracity of the emails, rather than attempt to defend its contents.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
