Also, not surprising in the least bit. One of Trumps strategies was to target Bernie Sanders voters.

It's supposed to say Jeb!

During the hearings it has been mentioned they used Bernie Bros without their knowledge

#NotAllBernieBros

Yeah, I saw the former FBI agent on MJ and Maddow. I have no doubt some Bernie people went with Trump, some went Stein, some went Hills and some went not voting.

To me at the time, it was obvious Trump was parroting Bernie's stances on trade and jobs. Trump is no friend of workers...even saying and doubling down how the minimum wage should be eliminated, let alone his own refusal to pay workers and contractors or making shit in foreign countries himself over the American Worker.

Trump is a con man who was propped up by all mainstream media. Yeah, the Russians were helping and coordonating with Trump and friends but the media is just as guilty.

Clinton is also an idiot for not putting Bernie on the ticket.

Trump could have won without the Russians IMO. Mainstream media were pulling him along not pressing him on anything. "Oh, u didnt assault women, ok. Let's go to your rally video instead of asking u some specifics on issues of importance Mr. Trump."

There's plenty of blame to go around. People still blaming Bernie supporters are the most clueless humans on Earth next to Trump supporters, considering a vast majority of Bernites voted Clinton in the general.

Bringing up how you voted is still hillariously shortsighted, no matter how often you do it.

Sadly we'd be better off as a country right now if that had somehow happened.

Well you say that but what if it was Russian planted punctuation all along?

Did the russians hack directly into Rubio's brain causing his little boot loop against Christie?

Honestly there needs to be a special election. I know the USA has no provision for it, but one needs to.be created after trumps administration ends up arrested for treason.

Let's dispel with this fiction that Vladimir Putin doesn't know what he's doing. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing.

At this point, I'm convinced there are only two ways the Republicans turn on Trump. Either Trump goes full scorched earth and labels the GOP congress as the enemy, basically imploding the party, or it becomes incontrovertible that Trump colluded with Russia to his own benefit in the election. There's practically no other way in my mind, barring some kind of psychotic break by Trump, that the party turns on him.



That's not how this works. At most, you'll get President Paul Ryan until 2020.

I'm confused. If it comes out that the Russians actually helped to push the elections Trump's way, why should his party keep the win? Usain Bolt lost his Olympic relay medal because one of his team mates failed a blood test. All of team Jamaica lost their medals because of that one guy. Should be the same here. You cheated to win, your team doesn't keep the win.

That never occurred to me.

Well for one it's not a sporting event. Two, the line of succession for the presidency is clearing layed out and enshrined in the constitution. If for whatever reason the President elected by the Electoral college is unable to serve the entirety of his 4 year turn, that role then goes to first the VP and if he is unable the Speaker of the House and then the President Pro Temp of the Senate then the various members of the cabinet.

I mean, what they're talking about here probably happens in every election right? I mean, in the latest Hardcore History it talks about Krushchev doing everything he could to influence the 1960 election in favour of Kennedy because he was seen as a rookie in geopolitics compared to Nixon.

The problem with Trump is the alleged collusion (and the hacking, which is a step further). But Russian media and sympathisers pushing narratives for their preferred candidate probably happens all the time.

No.

The fake news/twitter bot onslaught that occurred with this election was unprecedented in this country.
