No I don’t. Hillary won because more people wanted her to be the nominee. She got almost 4 million more votes than Bernie. Sorry. I liked Bernie, but more people wanted Hillary to be the candidate.

Breaking news that Manafort and Flynn, both who received huge financial payments from Russia, were the two aides in contact with Russian intelligence officials: http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/14/politics/donald-trump-aides-russians-campaign/index.html. Follow the money....
I think she was more a pawn. There was an article a while back about how Putin played the left against each other by making the Bernie bros think that the DNC rigged the primary and encouraging them to vote for Jill Stein.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/02/14/jason-chaffetzs-passivity-on-trump-exemplifies-republican-rationalizations/?utm_term=.96dafd912eaf Based on what this article says, I’m really not expecting him to do a damn thing.
Bannon declaring war on the media might have been the best thing that’s happened. They’ve been all over this.
Yeah. We’re in full House of Cards/James Bond supervillain territory now.
I wouldn’t expect anything less from the GOP.
He also received a huge paycheque from Russia around that time for some speaking engagement there.
Those same people keep bringing up that Hillary lost because she didn’t get out the POC vote the way Obama did, but conveniently completely forget that Bernie had almost zero outreach to POC and they overwhelmingly preferred Hillary.
Yup, I’ll never underestimate the ability of the left to eat its own. My Bernie bro friends who are still furious at the DNC for “rigging” the primary are already writing loud Facebook posts about how they will NOT vote in 2018 to “teach the DNC a lesson about stealing the nomination from Bernie”. *headdesk*
What’s scary though is that most of the military and police force support him, so he’d have their support in any potential coup.
Oh and Jeff Sessions just announced he wouldn’t recuse himself as Attorney General from the investigations, stating he could remain impartial: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/us/politics/attorney-general-jeff-sessions-russia-inquiries.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur
So yeah, good luck ever getting an unbiased…
Yeah, but Hillary being up +5-10 in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania then losing made them pretty off. Though I’m still skeptical Putin hacked- I’m sure he would if he could, but the machines aren’t tied to anything electronic so I don’t think it’d be possible. Though nothing would surprise me at this point.
When someone replaces the POS Chaffetz. Someone better primary that guy.
I don’t like to get conspiracy theorist-ish, but that would explain why the polls were so massively off. There’s never been an upset like this one in terms of the polling being off (except maybe Dewey-Truman)....could this explain it?
He’s one of the few GOP Senators who could stand up to Trump since he won his re-election and probably won’t run again in six years. But, he knew about the dossier and still confirmed Tillerson who has massive conflicts of interest with Russia, so I’m not holding out too much hope for him to be a hero.
I’ll still never get over that 53% of white women voted for him.
I saw an article about how protesters were faxing invoices to Jason Chaffetz asking to be paid.
Yeah, Chaffetz bragged that he was going to start impeachment proceedings “the second Hillary takes her hand off the Bible”. Of course now that they have a completely corrupt President openly committing treason it’s nothing to see her, folks.
I think Putin’s ultimate plan is to take over Eastern Europe and then ally with the US to invade China and Bannon has openly said his goal is to be at war with China in a few years. Trump is basically the puppet dangling on the strings of these two wanna be dictators to start WWIII.
