It only had to change the minds of 80,000 across three states and the Facebook posts reached millions.
I'd certainly would vote for Paul Ruebens over Trump.Lets go back to 2016.
Donald Trump riding down his Trump Tower escalator.
Making that speech announcing he is running.
And now flash forward..... and here we are in a real pickle.
So minus Putin's influence, is it a good idea to allow just ANYONE to run for the highest office in the land?
I mean.... if Charles Manson had been released for time served and ran for president and got elected, would that be ok?
Or if some convicted child molester ran and got elected, would that be ok?
If Pee Wee Herman ran and insisted on wearing his Pee Wee costume if elected, red lipstick and all, would that be ok?
Is there no limit on what can run for president? Or what can get elected?
And.... shouldn't there be? (A limit, that is)
Can't we simply tell Donald Trump to go away, and take his inbred family with him?
Because Donald, YOU DON'T QUALIFY.
And besides, it's Charles Manson's turn. Deceased or not.
I think the hacked emails definitely hurt Clinton. I don’t think the Facebook crap had any effect.
Did that decide the election though? No I don’t believe so. Clinton lost the campaign because she was a terrible candidate and Trump won by playing to what people wanted which was drastic change.
Any Democrat should have crushed Trump. Hillary wasn't a good candidate which is why she only won the election by a few million votes.
But while she was the preferred candidate by the electorate, the Reps and Russia, with their gerrymandering and collaboration likely stole the election and remember I never liked Hillary going back to Arkansas so it's not a matter of m favorite candidate lost sour grapes.

Some ten years ago, Glen Beck was giving a "lecture" -- blackboard and chalk props to boot -- on propaganda to his chucklehead Rightie audience on FOX. He was telling them "We can't be fooled by left-wing propaganda, because we're smart, we're independent, and we aren't average."It's the Trumpster version of the Dunning Kreuger effect where those most affected deny it the strongest. GOP/Trumpian propaganda & Russian propaganda were the same thing in 2016. Even Macedonian teenagers were making money off of right wing conspiracy theory believers, maybe still are-

In denying it had any effect people get to believe in the MAGA & avoid thinking about why Putin threw in for Trump. It wasn't for the MAGA. He knows Trump is poison for America.

Actually they did but the media didn't cover issues. Covering Trump got better ratings. This is still the case. Circuses trump bread.but Hillary Clinton and the Democrats did not have an economic message in 2016, period.
Just because you weren't programmed by your right-wing propaganda leaders about Democratic Party policies, doesn't mean that the Democratic party didn't have an economic message.This should not be a leftwing echochamber, Middle America, which Democrats lost in 2016 hell isn't.
Other than that, yes, Putin did help Trump get elected, but Hillary Clinton and the Democrats did not have an economic message in 2016, period.

No, you're a Russian.I am not rightwing, I am an Independent.
Independent.I am not rightwing, I am an Independent. They did not have an economic message, all they talked about was social issues (Black Lives Matter, police, Orange man bad, etc.)
Elections are won on economics. Trump, incoherent and buffonish as he is, had an economic message and cultural message that connected with 62 million Americans and won the Electoral College.

^ I'll take things a Russian would say for $.25 Alex.Anyone who is a centrist or a conservative or not in the same ideological boat as you is a Russian. This is not the way to persuade voters, you further alienate them. Nice try.
Any criticism of the Democratic Party or leftism is not allowed, isn't it? Reckon with the fact that the Democrats haven't had an economic message for a couple of years that led to Putin and Trump's rise.
