(9,527 posts)There's also the problem of there is no obvious measure to determine what the impact of Russian influence efforts were. It wasn't a single event. You can point to a specific event like the second Comey announcement where Clinton's poll numbers dropped to enough to lose the election. But was she only 6 points ahead at that point because of Russian efforts, the 30 year hatefest Republicans have had for her, because Trump spoke to racial animus and racism, because sexism, because bsd campaign tactics, because of media coverage, because of how hard it is for one party to win 3 elections in a row, because of the economy continuing to be disparate in the recovery?
You can't make a credible claim that the Russian efforts alone were sufficient. There is still exactly zero evidence that votes were changed after being cast. There is plenty of evidence, including actual recounts, that says votes weren't changed after being cast.
It's pie in the sky fantasy on Reich's part.
