Trump used everything negative on every candidate he was running against. Including Clinton's illegal server which is where the LOCK HER UP came from. The DNC stuff was not Clinton directly but her party.

WaPo did a story on exit polls after the election and why people voted how they did. Its funny the Wikileaks emails did not come up at all in the reasons for why people voted how they did:

Republicans don't seem at all quite content with MSNBC (Faux news). And I can see why.

Of course. However the press we have now is a propaganda arm of the DNC. Questions to Obama, "is there any way we can show our love for you more" Questions for Trump "Why are you such a misogamist". Press like this, I could and do live without.

Yes, I'm sure all the Press handed out stuff to its favored candidate. They all got together and decided that was it. And, the trumpissts believe that, even though it was a single individual who did it, not the Press.

And, yet, the amount of stuff that actually quotes trump and the trump dynasty is amazing. How on earth do they get hold of that stuff? Could it be... twitter?... self reporting?... WH leaks from trump's own staff?

Off ft. Trump did plenty wrong before he got in office. And that is well documented.

I don't care what Trump says, I care what bills he signs and how he executes the laws of the country. In that regard, he gets an A+++.

A single individual working for CNN who after this happened became head of the DNC. Nice promotion for helping out Clinton. And she did this more than once.

Politico emailed HRC's staff with a story ahead of time so they could edit it and send it back.

https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/10808

Fwd: per agreement ... any thoughts appreciated
Vogel gave me his story ahead of time/before it goes to his editors as long as I didn't share it. Let me know if you see anything that's missing and I'll push back.

Is that the free press the left keeps talking about? Lets one campaign edit their stories before they run? I am sure they did the same for Trump. Yeah, right. Look at the email subject, per agreement. Collusion?

And sure these are the only two or three times during the campaign that this happened. You believe that? Collusion? The left likes that word and it fits here.

Bills are enacted by congress. What bills have been passed? I know they just passed one on Russian sanction where they remove trumps ability to lift the sanctions. Is that an example of what you are talking about?
