The collusions, conspiracy and criminality during the 2016 election looks deeper and more widespread as Mueller moves forward. We are seeing revealed and entire criminal GOP, Its leadership and its organizations. The trickery and mayhem is a wider growing web. I do believe the GOP and its leadership itself was allied with Putin and the Russians to guarantee they they would win.
There are too many suspicious things bubbling up like the lava in Hawaii. Makes you wonder if we had an election at all. Sure Hillary may have made mistakes but even an idiot should have beaten Trump hw was o bad. Sure a lot of Americans were bamboozled and supported him.
I will never believe for a second that the election was totally gained. And the MSM sure did its part to help as well.

(11,175 posts)It's hard to get good data about the net effect of different factors. Consulting only my gut, therefore: I believe that the effect of the bias of the corporate media was far, far greater than anything the Russians were able to accomplish. We could add in other foreign intervenors, and we could count both legal and illegal acts, and all this "meddling" stuff would still pale in comparison to what our homegrown all-American media did. (Well, not entirely homegrown, but Rupert Murdoch is at least a naturalized citizen, and thus fully entitled to be a sleazeball.)
