In a post-truth political sphere, it’s almost impossible to find consensus.
Trump won the Electoral College resoundingly; Clinton won the popular vote by millions. Trump’s November 8th coalition comprised as unusual and diverse an ideological coalition as the U.S. has seen; nearly half of Clinton voters thought Sanders should’ve been the Dem nominee.
But here are three things all Americans, no matter their politics, agree on:
1. Foreign governments should play no role in the outcome of American elections.
2. No person should ascend to the presidency due to the interference of a hostile foreign government.
3. We have absolutely no idea whether a foreign government played a role in the outcome of the recent general election, and therefore we have no idea whether a political candidate is about to ascend to the presidency due to the interference of a hostile foreign government.
I’ve been watching wall-to-wall coverage of the election for the past month, and I can’t recall hearing any Republican or Democratic operatives disagreeing with any of the above premises.

This election is the gift that keeps on giving! :-)
Ummmmm...No!
1. Foreign governments should play no role in the outcome of American elections.
No, you don’t get to make up a fake accusation and them demand everyone act on your falsehood.
What is the CIA doing investigating a domestic criminal act? Hacking the DNC is a domestic crime. This is FBI not CIA ground and the FBI says the “Russians did it” claims are just another bit of Fake News.
Meh. Clinton won the “popular vote”, which is irrelevant anyway, by 3 counties only. Take away LA county, and Bronx and Queens, and it’s a tie.
3. We have absolutely no idea whether a foreign government played a role in the outcome of the recent general election, and therefore we have no idea whether a political candidate is about to ascend to the presidency due to the interference of a hostile foreign government.

Or how about the ChiCom’s “investment” in Bill’s administration?
Liberals are funny as hell.
There is no proof of vote fraud or hacking - and now they want to postpone the Electoral College election next week.
They’ve tried everything to defeat Trump and their latest excuse is Russia stole it for him.
What a knee-slapper!
Only an act of Congress can change the December 19 date, not a court. That’s not going to happen.
At least they are admitting what their end game is.
I sometimes wonder if maybe these types actually do understand the world of hurt that will fall on the left, if something like this happens, and for some reason want it.
What part of “THE VOTERS DECIDED” do these assholes not understand???
I’ll tweet him and tell him to go ##### his mother.
Surprised I’m still allowed on twitter :)
Obama admin. sent taxpayer money to campaign to oust Netanyahu
YAWN.
The intolerant left didn’t care at all about these issues when they were MUCH more prevalent for the “winner” of the last two elections.
Too bad, so sad, leftist freaks.
