Now they're saying "Trump was communicating Russia during the campaign." Trumps knows if he says Putin hacked the Election, Putin will turn on Trump and tell all!

No matter what anyone thinks, or believe they know, Hillary was by far the most qualified candidate. A man with the same credentials would be the president elect; not some rich, spoiled kid that tweets like a kid that should be in school. Scary, very scary.
Since we're engaging in fantasies, I think Trump use Twitter sparingly with thoughtful, insightful, intelligent, unifying tweets.

Per the bolded --- I assume you are being sarcastic. After all, it's been explained time and time again that there is no way to hack ballot boxes. They aren't in any way hooked up to the internet.

You guys are nuts.

Who is "they"?

Do you you really think a presidential candidate can be in contact with the Russian government without anyone knowing? The CIA would be all over it.

So who was disingenuous?

In my mind, all I can say is there is enough noise for me to at least question the results. But until there is hard concrete evidence as opposed to accusations and reports of look likes and maybes, then we should continue to move forward. The only thing I laugh about is Trump was the one whining and screaming about voter fraud long before he got elected, and now once in of course not a peep.


We already know the truth: Trump wins with 306 electoral college votes.

I didn't see this much outrage when Bush won, and Gore won the popular vote. There was outrage but not at this magnitude. I didn't see actors on tv protesting, re-Doing the electoral votes, very interesting

IMO, that's been part of the problem all along throughout this election campaign. People are waiting for the media or government to tell them what to think by 'leaking it' on social media. Frankly, I've reached the point that if the media or a government agency said "the sky is blue," I would wonder if it hadn't suddenly turned green ... and go outside to see for myself!

Most of the media pundits have blatantly revealed their totally biased spin and complete inability to simply present the news in a fair and balanced manner. Like the far left liberals marching in the streets and threatening electoral voters, while screaming about the sky-falling or total loss of hope; the media has likewise lost any semblance of credibility. Like celebrities who read scripts and then imagine themselves to be the hero or the leaders they portray, the media reads teleprompters and similarly imagine the world is only waiting with their breath held, to hear what they think.

Not to get on a rant here, but I hope Trump's approach of bypassing the biased media and going directly to the people (Thank you tour, tweets, speeches versus press conferences)-- will set a welcome standard not seen since Reagan. Meanwhile, as the media stands back and throws rocks from a self-imposed distance, some may gradually wake-up to the fact that people want to know what is going on ... not only what journalists and commentators think about it! Until that happens, I don't think a lot of people really care what the media, CIA or leftist ideologists have to say about anything.

first off, unless someone is running for reelection, NO ONE has experience as president of the US. however trump has many years of executive experience running 500 companies that are successful for the most part.

hillary on the other hand has run, what again? failed state department operations? and scandal after scandal over a similar period of time.

actually there was similar outrage when bush beat gore, everything from bush was selected not elected, to lets change the system to a popular vote, to burning bush in effigy, to bush is a nazi, and what ever other vile things the democrats could think of.

Don't you get it? All those polls that the MSM were putting out were fake. All those stories and supposed analysis that said Hillary was going to win the electoral votes by a wide margin were fake. All those stories and supposed polls that Hillary will take the rust belt were all lies.

I'm still trying to figure out how "Russian meddling" somehow rigged the election

There was no way to hack into voting machines. Assange repeatedly said that it wasn't the Russians who hacked into the DNC and Podesta's email account. In fact, some stories say it was a DNC insider who did it.

What I'm seeing is the left still not coming to terms that Hillary lost and are now grasping at straws.

Answer this --- If all the polling in 2012 showed an Obama victory by a wide margin, then why were his supporters out there committing voter fraud. Why bother?
That's why Hillary Lovers fell to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, wetting their pants and needing a diaper change and some hot cocoa...
