I’m tired of hearing it was “Common wisdom” Hillary would win, or that “Everyone” thought she was going to win.
The battleground states were all within the margin of error, a faltering economy, Trump was effectively the challenger...
There was plenty of reason to believe Trump would win. The handwriting was on the wall if anyone really looked.

Look at their screen, “right wing incendiary theory.” All are pejoratives. That’s not a network. That’s the DNC.

Hillary was damaged because the DNC emails were incriminating. All those DNC officials whose emails were exposed were Russian agents ordered by Putin to create the damaging content. Poor Begala doesn’t realize how deeply the conspiracy runs!

Someone forgot to tell this moron Begala that this week’s narrative is “Trump was never wiretapped and us FakeNews readers never said he was.”

Some producer at CNN didn’t properly prep this shill.

Any journalist worth a damn would demand Begala detail WHAT specifically Putin did that “changed the outcome of the election” and that he name the states and the precincts where voting “changes” flipped states from Hillary to Trump.

He’s got about 30 states to pick from.

They also could have asked him “Where can we see the evidence that Russia hacked the DNC server?” but it’s useless to ask a liar like Begala to back up anything he says. He’ll just tell another more convoluted lie to obscure the first lie.

If we, the American People, could read between the lines and see “no fly zones”, which are a set up for an incident that could lead to war, so could Putin. If he ‘feared’ Hillary, it was because he knew she was going to start a war in order to consolidate her own power, diminish Russian oil sales in favor of producers who would kick back to her and her cronies,and probably take control of the Internet under some Emergency Declaration set by zer0.

I’m heartened to hear that any CNN anchor told Begala to shut it and ‘not go there’. That is beyond the usual pretense of dialogue. Usually, the *good cop* would phrase some question in a half-hearted, *neutral* manner to elicit even a stronger rebuke to Trump, Republicans, conservatives, etc.

Maybe they read their own polls?

Even if there were evidence of a Russian hack, after today's Wikileaks, revealing how CIA can now hack leaving Russian "footprints" behind, of what value would that evidence be?

Because Putin feared Hillary”. I cannot stop laughing at the assertion of that statement

Russia as far as I can tell Putin had all of Hillary's emails, yet not one of them were leaked by wiki or the russians.

I'm pretty sure that means Putin could have destroyed Hillary but did not...

So much for Putin wanting Trump to win...

_______________________________
Followed by:”Why did the DNC refuse assistance from the FBI after their server was hacked?”

Then: “Why did the DNC not secure their network after being warned of hacking dangers?”

Curious minds....

LOL!

I doubt Putin “feared” Hillary at all. This is just more self-flattery of the Democrats. We know how Obama weakened the military and let every country walk all over ours, and Hillary would have just been more of the same.

If it is legitimate to question the outcome of the 2016 election, it is legitimate to question the outcome of the 2012, 2008, etc. elections. Lots of people afraid to touch that.

Lots of interesting questions ... that a hack like Begala would lie, obfuscate and prevaricate about until the interviewers head exploded. At which point he would say “You see? Her head exploded because I’m right!”

But such a fantasy interview would never happen on CNN.

I didn’t say that, but yes it’s funny.

Putin seemed to own Hillary.
