He sure as Hell did.

And his scorched earth tactics outdid Hillary Clinton's scorched earth tactics.

That sounds like a plan.

I think I'll go the spectator route too.

Crap Hillary-bashing site. Your ability to judge the quality of information you find on the Internet has apparerntly become impaired.

Let's say a crazy woman has the hots for you. So she sends you a note saying your wife had lunch with a rival, which she did. She sends the note by pinning it to your back with a knife.

You are saying the most important thing is to pay attention to the note.

Just a note on 'impossibility.' That depends on proper security measures properly implemented. That may or may not be the case.

As an illustration, imagine voting machines with seals all intact, physically well-protected, and never ever connected to the internet. Not hackable, right?

And the vote totals are downloaded securely, and processed in an isolated, impeccable chain of devices. All as it should be. Hacking out-of-the-question.

Except each voting machine in certain precincts was loaded with software and ballot data that was prepared on a poorly secured Windows-XT machine in a county office....

The Democrats “Russia Hacking” Campaign is Political Suicide

http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/12/...tical-suicide/

Quote:
The Democratic Party is doing incalculable damage to itself by shapeshifting into the party of baseless conspiracy theories, groundless accusations, and sour grapes. Hillary Clinton was already the most distrusted presidential candidate in party history. Now she’s become the de facto flag-bearer for the nutso-clique of aspiring propagandists at the CIA, the New York Times and Bezo’s Military Digest. How is that going to improve the party’s prospects for the long term?

It won’t, because the vast majority of Americans do not want to align themselves with a party of buck-passing juveniles that have no vision for the future but want to devote all their energy to kooky witch-hunts that further prove they are unfit for high office.

The reason Hillary Clinton lost the election is because she is a polarizing, untrustworthy warmonger. Period. Putin had nothing to do with it.
