Social media were awash in Russian trolls and bots and Fakebook was wide open to Cambridge Analytica. If you don't know who those scum sucking bottom feeders were or what they did, look them up.
Massive voting roll hacks had been found in Illinois, for one, and nothing was done to beef up security.
Talking heads who
hung on every stupid word from TFG did voice overs every time they showed Clinton speaking, so she was never heard.
Then we have James fucking Comey, who saw Clinton's name mentioned on a cell phone and breathlessly announced, 5 days before the election, that the investigation inot her email and text messages was wide open again.'

Never mind the hookers, the 3 wives, the wage theft, or any of the rest of it, their gawd works his wonders through flawed men.
I'm not blaming voters who were being led around by rings in their noses. I blame the evil fuckers who led them.
