Fortunately for the non-elites, Hillary was too busy planning her post election party, and buying an extra house for her staff, to notice the lessons of Brexit over in Europe or to take a close look at the electoral map.

not if you take out California which I call the Mexico II...........Trump won 30 states for a reason and Republicans gave California for lost a long to me ago and God knows how many illegals voted in Lala land California.

Russia had nothing to do with Trump winning those 30 states to win the EC...this is the biggest fake news in our history next to the Cold War scare tactics and if under nuclear attack we can protect ourselves hiding under a desk at schools or the duct tape fake news if we are under chemical attack....all b.s.!

Hillary ran the most and worst negative campaigns in history with her 1 billion dollars. 25% of her campaign was about policy and 75% of her campaign was attacking Trump. She had the MSM , wall street on her side and Hollywood campaigning for her but she just couldn't sell it.


Secular Talk who are left put it best:

Too bad the idiots chose a total bulls*****ng failed businessman phony,who hasn't worked a day since squatting in our White House! 8moths, not one single legislative victory...... but new lies every hour on the hour!
given the alternatives, people in the states that trump won believed that he was the best candidate for the job.

i mean, jill stein? really? she is so far left she makes stalin look like a conservative.

and gary johnson. a decent enough candidate, but there was no way he would win the general election, very little in the way of recognition.

and then we have hillary clinton. one of the most evil and vile women to run for ANY office, let alond president. if i were a democrat, i would rather have voted for the likes of diane feinstein, or even maxine waters over hillary clinton.

I wouldn't have voted for Hillary in 2008 and she was surrounded with less controversy then. I didn't vote for Trump either. Both were that bad.
As far as the Russians lied about Hillary? Calling a liar a liar isn't a bad thing.

You would too if you were trying to build Trump tower in Moscow during your campaign, had long term business interests with Russian oligarchs, wanted to run the white house as a family business, and had a son in law meeting with a Russian sanctioned bank. Actually I could go on and on but you get the point.

I still want to know how Russia got me to change my vote to Trump, in fact I had already pretty much decided on Trump long before Russia even allegedly entered the picture.

Do you remember that crazy man that showed up at that restaurant that believed that Clinton was running a child sex ring wanting to rescue the children? He's one extreme of what weaponized propaganda can do. I had a friend that changed her mind and voted for Trump after she read the same propaganda. It can sway people, especially people that believe everything in print without doing research. She is unfortunately part of the low information crowd. She is still clueless as to what's going on today. There were a lot of misinformed seniors that voted for Trump. One told me that she didn't want Sharia law taught in our schools and Trump wouldn't allow that. Oh Yikes. Talk about gullible, low information.

I'm sure you made an intelligent informed decision when you voted for Trump, but there are many thousands who fell pray to weaponized propaganda.

My friend has since changed her mind about Trump, and said she immediately regretted her decision.

i know a bunch of folk who believed a lot of it, and even after stepping through it the response was very clear.

"well there is no smoke without fire". In other words they could logically see the accusations were false but in their minds she was now guilty of something, because they had heard a lot of 'bad" stories.

which is why the left should do the samething. We should be targeting up and coming Republicans with nasty stories, hitting sex, money drugs and jesus... it is what they do why not play the same game. to long the left has played fair while the right lies and cheats.

it is time for the left to become as cheap and scummy. it would seem lying works as long as you just keep lying.
