"meddling" yes. Threw or hacked election. No. Y'd obama do nothing about meddling until late Nov?

I've never posited election was thrown or hacked. But Putin did meddle hoping to benefit Trump. That is clear. Doesn't delegitimize results

did Trump deny Russia meddling? You seem to imply he did.

Until the last few days, either denied or said 'maybe.'

Didn't Trump (half jokingly) publicly encourage Russians to leak more DNC emails? He knew

He never acknowledged it w/out caveats the way other Republicans I talk to did & continue to do (Rs like Nunes & Cotton.)

nunes & cotton r principled. Trump is pragmatic. He rarely cedes a pt unless it gives him advantage

I think that's part of the problem, because he views it as "his" advantage & not "U.S." advantage. IMO instinct v. deliberate.

Maybe. I'm giving him benefit of doubt that he IS operating in country's best interest which don't conflict w/his. Until I see otherwise

Fair enough. I'll stipulate. But actions & results matter more than motivations -- just my view. Appreciate yours.

Dem & media would be in perpetual outrage even if Jeb had won.Jeb would have appeased. Trump's combative style is good for grassroots energy

Those aren't only choices. But I agree that as they always have, would treat Jeb same as they've treated all Rs, which isn't far off from DT
