Me thinks that they did try to steal 2012, but something got in their way. KKK Rove went on TV, screaming that the #'s were changing....that it was too close to call. Go back and watch his little demonstration. He knew something was supposed to happen, but it never did.
Who knows how many other races were impacted. A couple of Senate seats was enough to make a huge difference in 2012 & 2016. Not to mention, they did not want it to be so obvious, which is why they probably manipulate down ballot as well.
I certainly am critical of the campaign run by Clinton, but I find it as hard to believe that if she knew these states were so close that Drumpf had a chance, she would have made an effort to spend much more time there. Instead, towards the end it seemed she was even starting to focus on some over the top states, because the others were comfortably locked up.
So I guess either you believe Clinton did not have a clue what she was doing, and so blew off states like WI or PA, or those states were stolen from under her on election night.
