In reply to the discussion: The Daily 202: DNC chair candidates say Clinton lost because she talked too much about Trump [View all]tenorly
(2,037 posts)27. He'd be proud of someone who likes to shoot down allegations of pro-Trump Russian vote tampering.
When every week that goes by, more proof surfaces that this in fact is what happened.
As in most espionage cases, the details made public so far are incomplete, and some rumors in Moscow suggest that those arrested may be scapegoats in an internal power struggle over the hacking. Russian media reports link the charges to the disclosure of the Russian role in attacking state election boards, including the scanning of voter rolls in Arizona and Illinois, and do not mention the parallel attacks on the D.N.C. and the email of John Podesta, Mrs. Clintons campaign chairman.

Again, this was the disclosure that bothered them most - and this is Putin we're talking about. To dismiss the chance that he tried - and succeeded - in altering vote counts in our laughable, read-and-write software-equipped tabulation machines should be far too much benefit of the doubt for anyone to give. Especially from a good Democrat such as yourself.

OP
We don't have to pretend our campaign was flawless to acknowledge that Russia messed with things.

It's a mistake to say middle America was ignored- the policies were there and she spoke to them

That may have contributed; but she "lost" thanks primarily to Putin's vote hackers.

I think the FBI intervention cost her a lot of votes, not just enough to enable her to narrowly win.
