No life.Damn, if they don't repeat a load of crap that's long been disproved.
WHY can't they just find something else? Are they as dumb as we think they are?
Or as I suspect, they're really not paying attention?
No life.
Yes.
That too.
I've said it repeatedly

I'll say it a hundred times more - you think Trump is a turd - and Hillary LOST to him.
Take the hint. a few million
but then progressives shift
'Hillary WON the Popular Vote'
"This is what they do; they stake out crazy positions and then they make you negotiate backwards." - Dave RubinI suppose the biggest red flag I ever had with this is - why would someone who is spending 1-2 BILLION dollars
and has very deep pockets need to spend money to ask a foreign country to hire a handful of jokers to post
a few social media ads and spread falsehoods? Not only could he have done it a lot cheaper with Americans,
he'd have VOLUNTEERS.
And these guys believe it was a full on cooperation with an enemy and that it ABSOLUTELY threw the election to him.
Wow. They didn't tamper with the results, so the extent of it was - ads. And stories. Something that no one prior to
the election saw coming - and they make their living looking for it.
And as I've said before, the premise is so ridiculous as to defy credulity. If you're making up a story, why not go
to a country that isn't our arch-enemy that might actually have something to gain? I'm surprised they didn't include
the Iranians and the North Koreans. (They COULDN'T include the Chinese, because that would draw attention to the
Clintons).
Because that's stupid and it's hard to believe a significant number of people are dumb enough to believe it.
And Trump never campaigned for all those votes in inland California - or upstate New York - or downstate Illinois, which are all filled with Republicans, because the state by itself could not be won, even though those areas have lots of Republican votes.
It's pretty simple - the Electoral College affects the way campaigns are done. Hillary's three million extra votes are entirely because
of California voting very heavily - 61% - for Hillary. Take away California's votes - for both - and Trump wins the popular vote, too.
But if Trump had campaigned heavily in blue states, he might have gained enough to win a popular vote in 2016.
He didn't - because it doesn't win the election.
He didn't - because it doesn't win the election.
You guys post a lot of stupid rationalizations...but this is line a irrationalizations is amazing.
Trump won the electoral college because of less than 200,00 total votes spread between PA, MI and WI. He won FL by less than or about 1% of the popular vote in that state.
All the billions spent really didn't matter...never do much. Only a few states are ever in play...and a few districts in those states make the difference.
It is really amazing that you "informed voter" types still don't understand this or how Trump won.
I'm still not clear on how our national elections actually work.
Roughly a dozen or so Russians with limited English language skills, a budget of well under $1.0M and no direct access to anything other than social media outmaneuvered the Hillary campaign, the Obama administration, the DNC, and the Left Wing media (redundant, I know) and their bazillions of dollars.For once I turned off the ignore feature just to see what kind of idiotic thing you'd write.
You don't disappoint.
So? That's the way it works. Hillary won Minnesota by a mere 45,000 votes out of roughly 3 million. She won New Hampshire by less than 3,000.
She squeaked out Nevada by 27,000 out of well over a million. And yeah, he did win Florida by a hundred thousand votes.
That's why they call them battleground states.
Evidently everyone in whole WORLD knows this except you, because you keep whining about the "popular vote" which is
a construct meaningless to the election, just as total runs scored is meaningless to winning the World Series.
WE get it. Apparently you don't, because you seem to think no one else does.
You know why I know you don't get it?
BOTH campaigns know how it is played. And they spent billions - in the states that would move the outcome.
Everybody knows that small differences win the elections - and they spent money on them.
It doesn't matter that a bunch of Russians spent a few pennies here and there in the battleground states -
they're being massively outspent by the campaigns. Trump's campaign and Hillary's campaign KNEW that a few votes
turn these states. And they spent over a billion and a half between them.
THEY both knew that a pile of cash spent in this battleground state is worth more than spent in a state not in play.
They both spent most of their time in the states that could change, and ignored the ones where they easily would win.
Hillary thought Wisconsin wasn't up for grabs - so she didn't bother.
She figured Michigan was in the bag as well - so she spent very little time there.
She ignored Pennsylvania until late polling showed her she could lose it.
She banked on North Carolina and Ohio - and they weren't even close.
The narrative you're trying to go for is that SOMEHOW, the Russians knew exactly who to turn - with the huge
presumption they had any effect - but two very expensive campaigns had no idea.
THAT is why the whole thing is ridiculous.
The points all along...that you "informed voters" also STILL don't understand is that an actual Republican with actual experience and expertise would have won and won handily.
Roughly a dozen or so Russians with limited English language skills,
She, like all leftists, is a useful idiot; a tool. They have no idea they're being played as the career politicians cooperate (and are aided and abetted by the leftist media) to try and eliminate the True Outsider who threatens their stranglehold on power.What a STUNNING lack of awareness ...... VOTERS on BOTH Sides Were fed up with the ESTABLISHMENT .....
That is why Trump was elected ... disenfranchised or ignored DEMOCRATS from Michigan Wisconsin and Penn. handed Trump a victory
and who is this mytical Republican you have been talking about for 2 yrs, because I think you are full of s h i t
