Did you read Wikileaks?
Well, you should have.
The conspiracies were true, and the mainstream media lied to you to about everything. Wikileaks was not Russian propaganda, it was the news.
Wikileaks has a 10-year record of never releasing a single falsified document, and is not connected to Russia. Everything they released were the actual e-mails of Hillary Clinton and her campaign staff. You had the opportunity to look through a window into the Hillary Clinton campaign, but you didnt.
By ignoring the leaks, you ignored reality.

Read the whole thing. He thinks Bernie could have beaten Trump.
Dr. Ron Paul said: “The greatest thing happened in this campaign is the evidence and the information we got from #WikiLeaks. I think this is why Trump won and the media looks silly”.
I disagree that it’s why Trump won, although it was a factor, but I do agree it will be recorded by history as a momentous event in US history and will trigger reforms and perhaps even the restructuring of political parties.

I also heard a week or two ago that Wikileaks has never had to publish a retraction. In other words, if it is on Wikileaks, it's all true. That is stunning. It is also frightening because it shows quite clearly that after 8 years of rule by obama and his cohorts in crime, we have become a banana republic. I'll admit it wasn't until Comey folded - twice and it came out that the lead FBI "investigator" into Clinton Crime Inc. accepted a 600K plus payoff...that I truly internalized what President-elect Trump meant when his campaign put out the line "drain the swamp."
Bernie would have done better than Hillary.
Santa Claus would have been very hard for Trump to beat, but he’d be a 1 term president.
Well....there's always a first time...
Yes, Virginia, there is a Donald Trump.
I find it rather ironic that people who plan to spend a lifetime in college don’t get the Electoral College.
Give Assange part of the US broadcast spectrum.
The 100yr media monopoly is over.
Let ABC CBS compete on cable.
His work here is done.
Time that he and the other creepy cyber-snoops ride into the sunset.
His work is far from over. Plenty of corruption in DC and the media that needs to be exposed, plenty of swamp to drain.
“He thinks Bernie could have beaten Trump.”
Bernie might very well have beaten Trump, given that the whole world was against Trump and basically the only reason Hillary failed is because she was a serial felon and a congenital liar with all of the warmth of a dead snake, none of which Bernie was the case with Bernie.
Unlike Hillary, Bernie is actually charismatic on the stump, and he would have likely moderated (lied) about his true positions, as well as seeming more reasonable on the surface than Trump.
yes, given the micro-thin margins that Trump achieved in the critical swing states, it is VERY possible Bernie could have beaten Trump. ... Shudder ...
Totally disagree.
Bernie would NOT have beaten Trump, but would have lost even more than Hillary - his support, while passionate, is no where as deep and broad as Hillary’s -
women for example, those who voted for Hillary simply because she has a vagina. The Clinton groupies who love all things Clinton would not have gone out for him.
And in a major campaign, his message would have been exposed as a one-subject message.
No way he would have beat Trump.
That is patently false.
Bernie (no Bill-problem, no Clinton-Foundation-problem, no Saudi connection-problem, No Syd problem, no email server problem, no secret emails problem)?
I would humbly disagree in that Bernie would have made this an entire different race, where topics and positions mattered more, and I think Michigan and Ohio would have gone in a different direction.
But the same is true if this had been a Hillary-Bush or Hillary-Cruz election....in that they (Bush or Cruz) were not capable of slamming Hillary on a daily basis.
This was simply a one-of-a-kind election where Hillary’s trail of misfortune and stupidity was revealed in full, and Trump simply stuck to the same campaign strategy of confrontation.

Also, Bernie would’ve had the enthusiasm of his party’s base. Hillary only had the enthusiasm of the party’s elites. She had the Romney problem we had in 2012.
Cruz would have beaten Hillary. As Brit Hume has said, Cruz was the only other Republican who had the same anti-establishment positions as Trump. Cruz had the “drain the swamp” mantra first, when he called it the D.C. cartel. Cruz understood how Obama’s policies had left the working class behind.
Cruz might not have had the same Brooklyn speaking style as Trump, but he also wouldn’t have had the negatives with offensive gaffes or a bimbo eruption. Clinton would’ve been forced to run on issues instead of negatives, and that’s where Cruz’ knowledge of policy would’ve shined in the debates and elsewhere. Cruz also had a chance to pick up more latino votes because of his heritage and ability to speak some Spanish. And he wouldn’t have had any #nevertrump problem with Mormons.
So I suspect that would’ve helped him get NV and CO. Then FL, OH, IA and NC would’ve been easy to get for him. And while PA, MI and ME CD2 would have been harder to get, he might have also pulled off WI.
GOP electoral prospects definitely look troublesome for the future if we can’t think of any Republican who could get CO and NV anymore. That would mean we’d always have to penetrate industrial state territory.
