If Trump and Bannon Can Not Deliver a Russian Hack, What Use Are They to the GOP?

This has got to be the number one question on the minds of Republicans who are about to face re-election next year. When it seemed that Trump and Bannon had the Power of Putin behind them, Republicans were willing to pass legislation that would anger their own voters--like getting rid of the federal state income tax exemption in states that have a state income tax. Because they believed that Russian hackers could save them on election day.

But, after Virginia and Alabama, it is now clear that Russian hackers are not all that they were cracked up to be. It is very likely that the FBI/NSA and CIA have put into place measures to unhack the hack. So, what does that leave Trump and Bannon to peddle? Nada. They can not promise anything but a huge turn out of angry backlash voters who object to Nazis and Pussy Grabbers.

this sounds like exaggerated conspiracy theory and part of my says, EXACTLY!

I mean we know they stole a lot. Did they actually hack the vote? I don't know!

BUT! If the CIA/NSA/FBI/???? Agency did block them from it in Alabama that would be interesting.

Coincidentally OR NOT, one of the russian giantess sites I visit occasionally, went down a day or so before the Alabama election.

Things that make you go - hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Maybe some agency is blocking a lot of Russian internet activity?

Oh well.
