Not Bernie. Bernie was there in the finals, but too many of his voters found other paths.

(23,187 posts)5. The old divide-and-conquer.
Putin - and the GOPee - knew that most Bernie supporters would show up for Hillary in November; indeed most did.
The trick, of course, was, how do you keep as many as possible home - or persuade them to waste their vote on Jill Stein or Gary Johnson.
Personally, I think it went beyond that: they stole the results outright in MI, WI, and a few other swing states by way of roster scrubbing and/or electronic flipping.
