Question: Is Russia meddling and effecting voters not effecting votes in your mind?

Trump is insane. He is not rational. The longer the spineless GOP ignores this, the worse it will turn out for them.

If so, then it's an embarrassing confirmation that Hillary Clinton is too incompetent to run anything, let alone be President.

But if you want to believe that, I'd say have at it.
That's the crux of the issue. They didn't have to influence all Americans, just enough in some key states, like PA, MI, OH and WI where Trump won by a combined margin of about 78,000.

oh gee russians meddled in our elections. welcome to the 1920s my friends. and while we are at it lets add china, germany, britain, australia, france, italy, spain, portugal, and just about every other country in the world.

and then lets remember that WE meddle in THEIR elections, and have since the turn of last century, if not before.

this is nothing new people, its been happening since before the US was even a country, before even the US was even discovered. this is a nonstarter.

Every country in the world attempted to meddle in our election and most didn't want to see Trump elected and it had very minimal effect on the election.

I really can't believe that everyone is making a big deal over this. It's a do as I say not s I do as the US has meddled in more foreign elections and politics than most countries. How can we be upset that someone got the better of us - when we've been doing it for years?

Did it affect the election - no - people had enough and was looking for someone different - many of us wanted Perot way back when and with the current state of the politicians and political parties - more decided we missed the bus back when Perot ran and we better not make that mistake again.

we've been meddling in foreign elections for many decades, all of a sudden it's a big deal... how stupid. MSM leads the ignorant American public around by the nose and they beg for more.
