The Russian Hack Absolutely Affected The Outcome of The 2016 Election (Laff riot)
The Huffington Post ^ | December 16, 2016 | Richard Greene

Posted on 03/07/2017 2:25:02 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump won The 2016 Election by

22,748 votes in Wisconsin 44,312 votes in Pennsylvania 9,528 votes in Michigan.

Out of 135,657,507 Americans voting, Donald Trump won the Presidency by 76,588 votes, or 0.056% of those voting.

In Michigan, for example, out of 4,799,284 votes cast, a margin of victory of 9,528 represents 0.19% of the vote. To put that into context, that means that in a representative room full of 1,000 Michigan voters, 501 would have voted for Trump and 499 would have voted for Hillary Clinton. In other words, if only 2 out of 1,000 voters had liked Hillary a bit more, or Trump a bit less, the election in Michigan, and all of their 16 electoral votes, would have gone to Clinton instead.

To say that less than 2 out of every 1,000 Michiganders, and similar numbers in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, were not affected by the constant drip, drip, drip of negative Wikileaks email revelations over the course of many months of the Presidential campaign, accentuated by Donald Trump’s amplification of those leaked emails, accentuated by ads and constant news stories amplifying the worst aspects of those leaked emails, constantly taking Hillary Clinton’s messaging and campaign off course and throwing them, relenttessly, into “Defense” mode instead of taking their own message to the people of Michigan and America . . . is to literally call Vladimir Putin stupid.

The former head of The KGB is not stupid and the effort to get incriminating emails and information about The DNC and Hillary Clinton was not stupid, nor the strategy of publishing little bit by little bit over the course of many months....

, —accentuated by Donald Trump’s amplification of those leaked emails, accentuated by ads and constant news stories amplifying the worst aspects of those leaked emails,-—
That’s a double amplification. Trump, that evil genius found a way to turn his amp up to eleven. The fact that there really were “worst aspects” of the emails is just something we should ignore.

As all this unfolds it convinces me more and more that these were intelligence leaks from patriots within the intelligence services. They could even have disguised it as from Russia.

“The Russian Hack Absolutely Affected The Outcome of The 2016 Election “

True. Trump won by less votes because of it.

Methinks Richard Greene is still feeling butthurt from the last election.

Poor thing. Maybe Preparation H would help?

There is no good reason to believe Fake News is out of power for good. It has been rattled by a good, hard right hook but body work and a haymaker are required.

Remember the media was cowed into temporary silence when the Iraq war started but after about a year it started to get its footing back and turned the people against Bush.

His father had a 90% approval rating but it was able to drive him from office a year later.

Even the Civil War did not put the Democrats down forever. It perpetrated the Rebellion and even that did not destroy the party.

Because the Russians wouldn't let Hillary win and then use all those emails to blackmail her. They would rather help defeat Hillary and get nothing in return for their hacked information. That makes sense.

The Democrat party is going to be relegated to minority status for decades to come, and primarily due to the acts of their own hands.

Never in American history has there been such a transparent, continuous, collusion between the Left, Media, Globalists, GOPe, and Establishment in general, all targeted toward the destruction of one man, and the Revolution whose cause he has assumed the mantle of.

The old Emperor has no clothes; his Regime, and all of its members, stand naked and exposed to the piercing light of public scrutiny and ridicule.

They will continue to flail in their death throes, and something will doubtless arise from the ashed, but the Fake News will never be the Real News again. They just can't help themselves. They can't exercise sufficient impulse control to conceal their blatant bias.

The mask has come off in the past couple of years, and they can put it back on if they want to, but it will never again deceive so many.

The sheep have looked up, and that act cannot be undone...

Trump’s winning percentages in WI, PA, and MI were kept down because of vote tampering and fraud in all three of those states.

I worked on the campaign in MI; vote tampering and fraud has been a life-long fact for me. Areas controlled by democrats and the unions have been doing this since before I was born in 1941!

Your optimism is unwarranted. The impatience of the Right is notorious. It turns on its own at the drop of a hat as several examples here show. They want more action even when the Party is doing about all it can. Just keeping our own in line is difficult. Now if that can be done we have a chance but not if the Ultras keep attacking our leadership.

This last election was won by a hair not a landslide and can be changed at the slightest wavering of the party members and supporters. Remember that the Democrats have 35% of the vote NO MATTER WHAT.

We are just at the beginning of a long struggle.

Hillary might have won if the Dems had not aborted all their future voters for 40 years.....
