No. That however is not the point. Conspiring (if it occurred) with an enemy nation to influence an American presidential election is the problem. Watergate had no real bearing on Nixon beating McGovern capturing 49 states. It was the act and the coverup. It was not because it tipped an election.

BINGO. You nailed it. It's the act and the coverup, not the result that matters.
I think people in the heartland of the US have watched their jobs go to robots and to foreigners and they finally got tired of it and wanted to take a chance with the one politician who even acknowledged it as an issue.
Did Russian interference prevent Hillary from winning?
I voted for her (reluctantly) but I think she did herself in, not the Russians. She was deeply flawed as a candidate and she really screwed the pooch with Wisconsin and Michigan, and that dumb comment about the "deplorables".
But that being said, if Trump colluded with the Russians in any way, or made any promises to them about anything before he took office, he should be impeached. We will be better off with Pence.
Not a liberal...but no...I think the Russian hacks had nothing to do with her losing--she was a flawed candidate who underestimated the mood of the country and was ill-advised on where to campaign..thus she assumed that she had States sewed up that were, in fact, in play.
That being said...Russia needs to be slapped down...and Putin needs a dose of his own medicine--radioactive medicine.
I can't speak for anybody else, but the russians had nothing to do with my vote.
I received my ballot in the mail, voted at my dining room table, then took the ballot to the post office and mailed it. There was not a russian in sight through the entire process!
I did not vote for hillary. I would not vote for hillary if she paid me to do so.
Oh, sure, everybody has their price. Even me. But as rich as she is, she would not care to try to buy my vote!

Give ol' Putty a little taste of what that N Korean dude got at the airport.
Matter of fact drown that shirtless fool in the stuff.
I agree with your points, you can add a few more to the list but those couple you mentioned were HUGE factors.

um....you do know Russia has just as many if not more nukes than we do?
I assume you're familiar with mutually assured destruction? Good luck with that "dose".
