    Quite simply reporting it as truth that Russia is the reason Trump won.

    I don't think the issue is how many people were influenced by Russian propaganda ads, but rather the fact that Russia ran propaganda ads targeting Americans and tried to influence the way they vote....with tactic blessing from the Trump campaign.

    If you don't understand this than you are truly lost.

    Show me wide spread reporting conclusively that Trump won because of Russia.

    I haven’t seen that. I have seen reports of Russians interfering in our Presidential election and an ongoing investigation of the President and his connections to Russia.... but that isn’t the same thing as what you are claiming.

    As far as my personal opinion? Sure it could have swayed the election to Trump. He already lost the popular vote, and won several close swing states that may have gone to Clinton otherwise.... but there is no way to prove it.

    You made a claim that the media is saying Russia swayed the vote. Where are all these news stories? I think there are at least a dozen things that could have changed the vote. The biggest would have been a different candidate than Hillary Clinton. Change any of the dozen things and Trump may have lost. I don't know if Russia swayed the vote or not. That matters less than the mere fact that Russia tried to sway the election, and Trump's campaign wanted to work with them.

    No, you can't. I've never made that claim. I have specifically stated that it could not be determined.

    As far as I know, it is not being reported that Trump won because of Russia and FWIW I don't think it is the reason Trump won. The elections were undermined by Russia if you choose to believe intelligence agencies and the news is reporting on the investigation which has already resulted in guilty pleas. Are you saying republicans just want validation for Trump winning the election? Thats it? Who cares what liberals think anyway. Trump is the president isn't he? If you are sincere about this how insecure do trump supporters have to be? They need validation from liberals that bad? What a bunch of p*****s.

    I think Trump deserves credit for a great campaign. So yesh advertising and propaganda do work.

    Elections are literally popularity contests

    Not really what your original post was about.

    Also, Trump LOST the popular vote so it isn’t just a popularity contest.

    Why do you keep babbling the same random **** in multiple threads and then feel the need to start this one? Are you bored, or is it something else?
