"It's really hard to take you serious after you have spent five years screaming Russia, Russia, Russia. The really sad thing is, you probably still believe President Trump was elected by Putin even after all the "investigations" that ended up proving it was nothing more than a democrat dirty trick." Lol wut? Mueller is a republican! I did not personally spend 5 years screaming "Russia". I did not even vote in the 2016 election. The Mueller Probe had a lot of very interesting findings and led to 12 criminal convictions (not a low bar). If you're going to dismiss the whole thing, I want evidence for that. "Evidence! Evidence! Evidence!" That's what I'm screaming, not "Russia!" I'm going to say that Trump's win in 2016 was very multifactorial and I think that's common knowledge. - Spite for Washington Politics (drain the swamp messaging did resonate with a lot of swing voters) - Spite for liberals - Spite for Hillary and the DNC among progressives and Bernie Bros - The political pendulum effect - Timing of the whole Emails revelation, no doubt - (Many more factors...) - And yes, Russian bots and internet trolls looking for ways to pour fuel on the spite fire Trump's winning margin here in Michigan was 0.22%. It was a close election. I don't think it's outlandish to think that Trump might have been pushed over the finish line by Russian efforts. But, there's no way of knowing, and I'll happily admit that, because I have no evidence or proof that the Russian efforts were equal to or greater than the winning margin. Did any collaboration between the Trump campaign and Russia help him win? I'm going to say probably not...I wouldn't give them that much credit. Did some collaboration happen though? I'd say yes. There was, for instance, an attempt by Trump Jr to receive damaging information on Hillary from Aras Agalarov. That communication isn't conspiracy or hand waiving or conjecture, this was uncovered by legitimate investigators and written up into a report that again, led to a dozen convictions.
