I believe the Rs have been flipping votes for 8 years. I will never believe we lost in 2016 fairly.

That a majority would want this despicable slimeball in the White House.

But Trump spit out a few catchy one-liners that appealed to a very, very angry group of voters, and they took that anger to the polls. Coupled with Russian influence that caused tens of thousands of swing voters to believe Hillary was corrupt, they either voted for Trump, voted third party or just stayed home. The ultimate result was him winning by just enough in swing states to take the election.

Thousands thrown off the voting rolls without their knowledge thanks to cross check. In a democracy voting should be mandatory

with hackable voting machines, vote purging in heavily Democratic districts, and neatly coordinated cyber attacks against sites like DU.

Sure, nothing sounds fishy about that at all.

But instead it's merely a slow walk through Trumpville and the election we all just witnessed. 50 minutes into it and no mention of Russian meddling.

My better half called it a Trump puff piece. I wouldn't go that far but it really says nothing new and adds nothing to the discussion. I guess I expected more from the headline. That was 50 min. I'll never get back.
