The whole Russian election hack is a conspiracy theory so democrats don't have to face the fact that not only was Hillary a terrible candidate but her campaign was a terrible campaign. She lost states in the midwest that are traditionally democrat because she choose not to seriously campaign there. Had she chosen to do so I think she would have easily beaten Trump as most expected the election outcome to be. I as well thought that would be the case all the way up to the moments the election results started coming in and then when Texas went Trump I went WOW!
The other amazing thing in all of this is the claims being made about this election being rigged when in many serious ways the democratic primary process itself was rigged from the get go against Bernie Sanders. Regardless whether you like Sanders or not, he is more true to what the democrat party "claims" to be as opposed to what the democratic party really are and that is a Corporatist political party. Think RINO under Democrat dress. Hillary was, is and will always be at heart a Goldwater Girl. There was a thrown election in 2016 and it was within the democratic party machinery where the election conspirators can actually be found and Bernie Sanders the victim. I think the Russian claims are as much to hide that from public view as it is a sorry excuse for why Hillary got beat.
But for the sake of argument, lets look at the election results and ask the question could the vote have somehow been manipulated by the Russians? Was that vote directly manipulated at the voting machine by Russian hackers? Was the American public manipulated by propaganda? Either way, seems one can consider either of these by comparing the 2016' vote totals with past election vote totals and see if there is a big difference or obvious irregularities.
This past election Trump got 62 million and change in votes and Hillary for 65 million and change but how does that compare for example to the 2012' election? Obama got 65 million and change and Romney got 60 million and change. In 2008' the results were Obama 69 million and change to 59 million and change for McCain. 2004 was 62 mil to 59 mil, 2000 was 50 mil to 50 mil with Gore actually getting a 500k more votes than Bush.
Hillary lost the election not because voters were manipulated by Russians, they lost because their own campaign strategy took for granted certain states (Hillary ignored them) and the Trump campaign didn't take these States for granted. Even Michael Moore months out from the election
called it when he said Trump will win the election because he was talking with average folk about the things they care about and Moore to his credit nailed it. I even thought he was playing the reverse psychology thingy when he said it and maybe a bit he was, but he was still spot on in the end.
No Russian conspiracy to see here folks, just an arrogant democratic party who can't come to grips they blew it against a reality TV star that comically their own friends in the media help in many respects to create and a bunch of democratic voters who talk a good game (not really) but will never make the hard choice and put real skin in the game as to what they claim they stand for.
