all the other points are moot. Trump told us that the election was going to be stolen and that the only outcome he'd accept is if he won. President Obama, Hillary, Rachel and others insisted on defending our democracy. That allowed Trump and the Russians to steal the election with no questions asked.

To be clear, I'm not blaming Obama or Hillary or Rachel for not foreseeing this. The entire situation was unprecedented and unbelievable. Yes, me and you and others at home were worried sick, but politicians wouldn't be able to function if they thought (panicked) like us. We now know that our system wasn't designed to protect against an unscrupulous candidate propped up by a foreign government and extremely ignorant and deplorable supporters. Hillary is right about the need to protect voting rights. It's the only way out of this mess!
