This is what Trump supporters don't seem to understand (or refuse to understand) - that no one forced them to vote for Trump, but the Russians stoked the worst in Americans, especially with ones that didn't have any habits of using reliable news sources.

Thanks. Interesting.

what you dont seem to understand is that the russians have been doing this since the late 40s, perhaps even earlier. this is nothing new, and to somehow suggest that they are doing this because of trump is ludacris at best, and pure ignorance of history at worst.

So why did it take them so long to get Trump elected?

Trump ( a NY liberal), is just the next step


Bush sr sucked
Clinton (bill) sucked
Bush sucked even more
obozo was like bush on steroids, he really sucked
now we got trump...

the next one (most likely with a 'd' attached to his/her name) will probably be even worse


look at the pattern...5 liberals in a row...yes 5... both bushes were quite liberal (big government liberals)

That wasn't Russia's doing. That was the doing of the Corporatists.

The DNC is absolutely losing it on this Russia stuff. It's a mental illness. I want to vote for someone to beat Trump badly but I can't see the DNC allowing that to happen.

DNC member calls WV Sanders supporter a Russian

Selina Vickers’ weekend trip to Rhode Island was as cheap as she could make it. She shelled out $143.60 for a train ticket from her home in West Virginia to Providence, where the Democratic National Committee’s rules and bylaws group was meeting.

She paid just $68.07 for an Airbnb in Cranston, Rhode Island, a short commute from Providence. Once there, Vickers did what she always did at DNC meetings — she took notes, recorded video, and made sure that the party was committing to reform its primary rules.

A few days later, Vickers was accused of being a Russia-backed agent of chaos, working to destabilize the Democratic Party from within.

The DNC’s current argument over how to reform its primaries achieved a special kind of absurdity on Monday when longtime DNC member Bob Mulholland asked whether Vickers’ appearances at meetings were paid for by Russians. Mulholland, who often cc’s reporters on his memos about the rules debate, speculated over the weekend that “someone is picking up her expenses” and that this was evidence that “the Putin operation is still active.”

They don't want anyone interfering with the wishes of their corporate over lords.
