How Exactly Did The Russians Influence The U.S. Elections?

Good 'ol Hillary would have won but for the TRUTH being exposed! Haha!

You seem to forget that there was only a difference of roughly 100,000 votes between Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania that if had they gone the other way, Hillary would be in and Trump wold be calling for a recount.

We sure dodged that bullet by a smidgen, eh.

That really has nothing to do with the issue as the election is over and settled.

Disagree.

These kind of posts make me laugh. In other words the Russians exposed the truth about Hillary via WikiLeaks and Trump won.

You don't get it do you, everyone says things in their emails that would make them look bad if they were made public, the same negative things would have happened to Republicans if the RNC was hacked, those nude pictures you sent wouldn't look good to your wife etc. The point is only the Democrats were hacked and obviously the hackers chose to target Democrats and not Republicans, next time the hackee might be someone you care about, what do you say then, all the hacking should be frozen by the media, and the media should be prosecuted if they release hacked emails IMHO, that's the best way to solve a very ugly problem that's just going to get worse as hacking becomes more widespread.

I didn't forget anything. People learned the truth about Hillary and didn't come out.

...there's credible reason to believe the Russians did try and influence the election.

If by influence you mean exposing Hillary from behind the scenes so that the public can know full well the details about whom many of them were going to vote for, then we owe a big THANK YOU to the Russians and Wikileaks for steering those people away from her.

Disagree. Emails get people into trouble all the time. Hillary shouldn't be exempt d from that. Perhaps there were no bad emails from Trump.

Disagree.

So, you think the election should be redone? If not, then what's the "Disagree" all about? The Dem leadership has made it abundantly clear that the election is over-- period.

Who are you kidding, the part where Trump called Ben the n word, started rumours about Jeb Bushes penis size or lack therof, Bought massive stock in Hewlett Packard to make the price go up after Fiorina left, the list goes on and on.......

I betcha our former presidents and the vast majority of our deceased military are now rolling over in their grave with the above statement as they fought for our freedom from outside domination.

Supposedly the RNC server also was hacked into according to two news reports I heard this morning, and there's a concern that they could have some things on the Trump camp that could be damaging to the new administration if Putin and Trump ever have a lover's quarrel.

Of course it shouldn't be redone. Trump won fair and square.

We'll see. The media has been wrong about Trump at every turn.

You're right. We should just keep the truth hidden and let career criminals like Hillary run the country. *eyeroll*

I am a veteran and fought for your freedom. I still support Trump over Hillary.

We need to work with Russia, not against. We humans are all on this planet together. Whatever happens on a global scale affects us all.

Ya know, in my generation statements like the above would get one labeled as a "traitor".

We have reached a new low in our society when we have a segment of our society that is more than willing to see our free elections to be influenced by foreign sources simply because they like the outcome. Personally, I have never taken "the ends justifies the means" position, but then I'm an old-timer.

There was absolutely nothing fair or square about the way that Trump won, any intelligent person should see that.

"Freedom" does not involve having a foreign state alter what should be free and honest elections. I appreciate your being a veteran, but I can't say you voted to actually help this country this time. Time will tell.

BTW, a lot of people fought for our freedom.

You obviously not at all familiar with Trump's record. Maybe do some homework before spouting things like the above. Maybe google "what laws has Trump violated" and see what you find, OK?

BTW, the *eyeroll* is just so childish, and if that's the best you can do, then I'd rather just have conversations with the adults here at RF.

Disagree.

In what way does anything about Clinton or the DNC have anything to do with this issue?
