35. sorry, I first wrote this statement as Jill Stein's success,

but that didn't portray what I was trying to say Which is

you're right, I do not think Jill Stein actively work with Russian intelligence, I think Russian intelligence manipulated the divisions in America, and just emphasized them a lot more while pretending to be regular supporters. Kind of like the boy in the schoolyard egging you to teach the other boy a lesson because he's manipulating the situation like a sneaky bastard coward.

Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, the Green party votes added to the reduction in the black and Arab vote was probably a total of 7% to 10% of the vote, which did in this instance was enough to steal those states.

I'm all for people voting their conscience, I'm not for self-righteous people being manipulated to vote (not saying you, generally) a certain way because the super predator comment taking out of context. I lived in New York City in the eighties. And yes, crack addicts were super predators, be they African-American, white, Hispanic, Indian, Caribbean. New York City in the early eighties, someone would Rob your eye out of your head if you didn't blink.

I lost one automobile, rack stereo system, 5 car radios, 3 Mustang convertible, torn roofs looking for something they could sell for a fix. The radio was not gone, but it was all damaged by the screwdriver that tried to remove it.

That's what Hillary was calling super predators /sorry, rant over.

EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election_in_Michigan

Trump wins 47.50– 47.23 green party 1.07 , that's a margin that made the difference in this election, add in the other variables. That's also responsible. But 1% was greater than the margin. Shall I check Pennsylvania + Wisconsin? I could be wrong
