19. Michael Moore was simply talking about what he knew.

He knew lots of working-class people that had voted Democratic in the past and in 2016 were planning to vote for Trump. This distressed him greatly, and it is why he wrote the "Trump is going to win" article. He was trying to warn people of what he thought was highly likely to happen. If he did not talk about Russian interference, he may not have known much about it before the 2016 election.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
