Trump, the GOP and their supporters have said that no matter what comes of all the things we are finding out about the Russians and the hacking of the DNC emails it wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome of the election. If we do find out that the contacts made by the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence was about the hacking, with Trump offivials aiding the Russians to get Trump elected, and people would have known before voting, do you think it would have made a difference in the outcome of the election?

You didn't know the Russians had done the hacking and that they had a relationship to persons in the Trump team???
 
For me nope.

There was nothing that Trump could of done that would of made me pull the lever for Clinton. Also there isn't anything Clinton could of done to make me pull the lever for Trump.

IMO in this election there was no good choice not even lesser of two evils. It was between two equally flawed individuals with not much of a difference between them on issues

I honestly don't. People did not vote for Trump because they thought he was a wonderful guy beyond reproach. They voted for him because he offered a vision, along with a skill set and track record for getting things done, that Hillary did not offer.

And now those same voters are very disappointed, resentful, and angry with their fellow Americans who are doing their damndest to destroy him and prevent that vision for no other reason than they don't like him, the person, and he has the wrong letter after his name.

I have thought about this long and hard, and I have no clue what the haters hope to accomplish. I doubt they do either.

No. What would have made a difference in the election would have been for the democrats to field a better candidate. We had two bad ones and ended up, apparently, with the lesser bad of the two. I think the democrats would have won easily with almost any other candidate.

I think Sanders would also of lost. He would of gotten young people to vote for his bribes/give aways but use older folks footing the bill would of squashed that. O'maley could of probably beaten Trump as long as he didn't ignore key states like Hillary did. The best candidate the dems had was Webb. A Regan Republican turned center democrat could of swept the election as long as he distanced himself from some of Obama more divisive stances (cops suck, Isis is JV, men in women's bathrooms is normal).


Instead of best candidate for the country the DNC rigged primaries to run someone with a vagina who's turn it was

I think it's more about needing proof besides the previous administration saying "because we said so".


I've seen plenty of beliefs about who did it or speculations about who done it but I haven't seen any real hard evidence that proves the who what when where and why the DNC had it's unfair practices exposed.
