    Thought experiment: Which would have been more likely to result in a Hillary victory in 2016: Eliminating all the sexual abusers/rape jokers who covered her run, or preventing RU hack-and-leak?

        It was a leak, not a hack. When the left resorts to bad science it makes us as bad as the right. The d/l speed was too fast to be remote.https://consortiumnews.com/2017/07/24/intel-vets-challenge-russia-hack-evidence/ …

        Oh, so you are more trained than NSA specialists? You haven't "debunked" anything, you have regurgitated propaganda that is against science.

        The only way to insure fair elections and build a democracy is to end electoral college, bring back paper ballots, open up the primaries, and end cross-check. #thebestdemocracymoneycanbuy

        The DNC emails were damaging because they revealed scummy embarrassing behavior by Democratic leadership, so maybe the solution is to not act like a bunch of scumbags. It's been said that character is how you act when you think no one is looking. Voters grasp that viscerally.

        The former, political journalists who turned out to be creeps/abusers gave her the worst coverage and caused negative attitudes to be baked in for a long time leading up to the vote

        I'd say the real irony of her & Podesta's "brilliant" Pied Piper Strategy is that she'd have probably had a much better chance vs @RandPaul -- who was probably the Republican Hillary MOST feared facing. As she sowed....https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/796222841612042240 …

        I see nothing wrong with that strategy. The unforeseen part was #CNN and others effectively being a part of the Trump team, elevating him with start to finish coverage of his rallies. It conferred legitimacy to ppl who pay very little attention to politics.

        It probably sounded VERY smart at the time. But as Rand's Dad has explained before in another context, "blowback" sometimes happens.

        Well, just like #Solyndra. The unforeseen was the Chinese government totally financing their solar industry, undercutting an American company that couldn’t compete on an uneven playing field.
