Wait, I thought Comey reopening the email investigation is what got Trump elected?

I sure wish you guys could keep your stories straight.

How about replaying any "news" broadcast aside from Fox trying to get Hillary elected?

And there is a reason the popular vote doesn't determine the election. Why should New York and California get to decide the presidential election every time?

FB post didn't convince anyone to vote for any candidate. Even a fragile mental person like you isn't dumb enough to be influenced by a FB ad. It's embarrassing that democrats even think this is the reason Trump was elected.

It's not the ads themselves, but how much they paid and how many clicks they received and how many times they were shared. If they only used $5 a day, how many days were they up? One, Two, Three, a week, a month? Do you have that?

I mean, I can put up an ad for pillows, but if I don't leave it up very long, I won't expect to sell many pillows to many pillow-biters, now would I?

The most common ads throughout 2016 heavily promoted Trump and sought to hurt Clinton's campaign. The sponsored posts called for people to go to rallies, while articles posted by groups like "Born Liberal" would support Sanders.


So, not all ads, so that's an odd way to side solely with one entity. Additionally, doesn't this kind of pale in comparison to the benefits the DNC gave HRC over Bernie, and ultimately set her up for the general. Having prepared and rehearsed responses for debate questions shows her in a better light in peoples eyes both in the DNC debate, as well as going forward.

No worries, next time our GEOTUS is on the phone colluding with Putin he promises to tell him to cut it out after he is re-elected
He will have more flexibility then.

Let me get this straight: 3,000+ Russian Facebook ads designed to help Trump win. Yet, Facebook actively engaged in conservative suppression to help Hillary win. So, the $100k spent on ads was more effective than active suppression. That's pretty damn good.

Good lord in heaven you are unhinged man. Give it up. She lost, it’s over, that will never ever change. She was a shitty candidate who ignored key battleground states

Toddy's link has that but of course, it's very well worded to avoid the obvious realities around the laws of large numbers.

The writers get that stupid people like Toddy don't comprehend the sheer number of views that occur on the internet or even the sheer number of people on the internet.

People like Toddy can barely distinguish between 100K and 1B. They're just big numbers to morons like him.

If Libs want to blame the people who used Facebook as a weapon through advertising, why won’t they blame the people that use guns as a weapon instead of going after the weapon?

When it comes to Facebook, it’s the user’s fault for buying the ad. When it comes to guns, it’s the gun’s fault for existing.

When will Libs start calling for a Facebook ban?

Altogether, the Russian trolls spent up to $100,000 on all the ads.


So...it cost less than my salary to win Trump the election?

Dude, if Russians or Martians put a million ads on Facebook I promise that you snowflakes were still voting for Hillary. You Democrats need a reality check. Lol.
