Sorry 2 be debbie downer of the current Twitter/media groupthink, but Trump saying Russia "helped get him elected" doesn't make it so. I covered campaign on the road for a year. What elected Trump was the Rust Belt that had been decimated for three decades through job offshoring

sexy and sensational as the Cold War reenactment played daily on cable news. Reality is never as entertaining I guess. But the continued Russia-phobia and pretending that it's Russia—not neoliberalism & bad candidates--that is the reason for Trump will result in....more Trump.

Even if it didn't help, we shouldn't tolerate it. We shouldn't tolerate Trump, who accepted it, and didn't report it. We shouldn't tolerate foreign money being spent in our elections in the same way we shouldn't tolerate large doners spending in elections.

Key factors...also, Trump's "base" skewed toward upper and middle class white people...the folks most impacted by the factors you mentioned actually came out for HRC...this is all out there for review if you care to get beyond your preconception about what happened...2/
