Hacking things that aren't connected to the Internet. Russian gypsy magic.

BTW, the director of the FBI reopening a serious criminal investigation for numerous and serious federal felonies involving handling top secret information might have swayed a few people...but muh Russanz

The polls clearly tightened and the victory was within the margin or error but please reinvent history for us

If you had to weight it for us what you say had the most effect.

Emails revealing the democrats are pieces of monkey shite.

The reopening of the FBI criminal investigation into Hillary on potential charges that could have sent her to prison for life?

538 had Trump with a 35% chance of winning on election eve. It's not like his win defied polling.

They didn't "hack the election." They just assisted in exposing misbehavior among leaders in the DNC who conspired to sway the election in Hilary's favor.

People who don't read past news headlines will say the Russians hacked the election.

Everyone else understands they exposed bias and corruption in the DNC. The only people who should be pissed are Bernie Sanders and his supporters.

The polls tightened so much that the most reliable pollsters still had the probability of Hillary winning at 80-90% right before she got blown out.

Reopening was a big deal to me. Showed there were a lot more people involved than i originalky thought.

It wasn't necessarily that I believed they had her. That's gone about as expected. Even Trump knows she shouldn't be in jail aND he just needed that to get our the low info vote.

Emails from democrats didn't surprise me at all. All politicians are pieces of shite. I'm sure the Republicans have shite as bad or worse.

Russians also hacked into other files in the DNC like oppo research on Trump. It wasn't just emails that they stole.

She's beyond lucky she's not already locked up or executed.

Don't forget her carelessness has led to the execution of CIA assets in Iran

That played well before the election now but now we don't care about that right?

I care about it more than anything, at a minimum she should get life in prison.
