I was seriously angry about a lot of the flaws in the campaign, but some of those are a given. I wanted Sanders to be the nominee, and I still think Russia caused Hillary to lose, so it's hard to quantify to what degree the democratic campaign went wrong? Democrats are battling conspiracy-theory central out here in red state land! I am now wondering how much of that has been generated over time by trolls working for Putin! The last few weeks have been a tremendous education for me. I will say this, it is damned hard to reach people who have been subverted by conspiracy theories. So I am hoping Trump will go down as the traitor he is, then maybe a few more people will be open to reality.
