And sadly, if what's being/been posted on C-D just in the last 24 hours is any example it's still working just fine. Complete division....From Russia with love!

I think how many times Trumps has claimed "hoax", "witch hunt" and insinuated he believed Putin more than he believed US intelligence agency's. The man should be labeled the traitor he is.

But apparently Hillary was that bad that her billion dollar campaign couldn't counter a single story that I only ever heard about after the election.



Thanks for again admitting what you really feel. That the election was "stolen"
Seriously. And people didn't need stories about Hillary to make them decide not to vote for her. Between her name-calling, pandering, hot sauce in her purse, weird break-from-reality moments, and what have you, she damaged herself far worse than any Russians could ever have done.

Oh, and they think Soros controls the entire world. It's hilarious.
He doesn't, he only tries. Few can match him in financing the influence of elections.

Clinton was not rejected by the voters.

Three million more voters picked her over Trump.

Get over it.
Only because we all pretend that Californians are still Americans.

Indeed.

Sounds like you believe the story that Russians cost her the election.

The mind control you speak of is complete.

The problem is that the internet advertising isn't localized and can't knowingly target specific swing states which become important in real-time during election day. They made wild claims, such as Pizzagate, which were rejected by most Republican voters as well as almost all Democrats. The only way to generate eyeballs is to produce obviously false stories which catch the attention of people. Therein lies the problem. You're mostly attracting people who are already predisposed to vote for your candidate and get entertainment from trashing the opponent.

The real reason the Democrats lost is that the refugee problem from the overseas wars made immigration a major issue during the campaign. Its importance went from 41 percent to 70 percent. Immigration is also linked to other issues, such as foreign policy, terrorism, personal security (gun rights), etc., which were ranked highly among voters.

I suspect Mueller will end this charade in the coming weeks.

Now we know who to hold accountable for this fiasco.
Since these indictments, Obama name is off the charts in this thread of late. Hardly heard the man named called in relations to this investigation. I mean Trump said this was all made up and fake, that the Russians are innocent. But, now Trump is putting Obama name in the mix, and now his supporters. Y'all are really something else.

It's because Obama said it couldn't happen also.
