Stalking Horse

What is Stalking Horse?


1.

Someone or something whose role is to become the focal point for, or the initiator of, a debate or challenge. However, in reality their leadership role is an illusion, and the stalking horse is really working to promote a challenge or debate that will benefit a third party whose identity remains a secret.

Pete: "You been watching what them Clintons are up to?"

Cook: "I've been trying to ignore them now for 12 years."

Pete: "Well Slick Willie has been attacking Obama."

Cook: "Why?"

Pete: "Well he is acting as a stalking horse for Hillary to damage Obama's rep."

Cook: "I figured Obama already damaged his rep."

Pete: "Not as much as Willie can."

Cook: "Your wisdom is boundless."
