It's because there's no logical answer.

Who was Russia's choice between Obama and Romney? Obama and McCain? Bush/Kerry? Bush/Gore?

I think what they did is about 2% of what the progressives are yelling about.

Clinton and the DNC were looking for someone to blame and their peons bought into the full scale "hacked the election" conspiracy without a second thought.

Trump did not collude with Russia.


Did Russia try to influence the election? Well-yeah. The USSR and then Russia have attempted to influence nearly every US presidential election since the 1930's.

Did Russia have any influence on the election? Only in the minds of the useful idiots.

Why did Putin want Trump to beat Hillary? What was his motive? Was he afraid Hillary would invade Russia and make them a US colony?
My theory isn't that he actually preferred Trump over Hillary, it's that choosing the underdog allowed them to see the effectiveness of their methods.

It's like choosing unhealthy and overweight people to try out a diet and/or workout program. It's hard to see the effectiveness if you choose people who already healthy and in shape.

Of course they did. Just like every nation, organization, and person on earth.
However their efforts in subverting the electoral process was far less nefarious than the efforts of CNN ABC NBC ABC in parlaying misinformation and false narratives.

I believed they attempted to, but didn't succeed. Just like they do every year

They definitely tried to interfere, but not in the way that Democrats want to believe.

I think Russia at least tried to interfere. I don't know by which exact methods or whether they were successful at all, but I don't believe that Trump colluded with them in any way. The democrats and the media have been the ones caught cheating, lying, and colluding recently, so why should we believe anything either says at this point?

Did?

Or

Thought about it/tried/cried?

Because they effectively didn't do anything.

They can't hit a country with a missile...

I don't think the Russians did anything that compromised our fair and accurate democratic voting process, which would be the only thing that really matters.

The Russians did nothing more than we (USA) do involving other countries elections. Which is not much.

People are only pushing this because they refuse to admit they were beaten by an old white businessman with no political experience. Its impossible for them to believe that they could possibly lose to someone like that.

The liberal media slant did so much more the influence our election than Russia could ever do.

Russia wanted to weaken the democracy and instill doubt about the elections process and validity. The left is playing right into their hands and giving them exactly what they want. Way to go dems.

I don't believe that Trump colluded with them or talked to them with the purpose of having them impact the election so that it might fall in his favor. I won't believe otherwise until hard evidence says there was collusion.

Whether the Russians did something on their own, or got info from other hackers, I don't know.

It is not physically possible to hack voting machines, especially in the case of paper ballots such as what is used in Michigan.

The DNC and Hillary are pieces of shite, and people deserved to know about what they did, so I really don't care about the source of the Wiki emails.

Between Trump and Hillary, historically, Clinton has been far more cozy with Russia than they have with Trump. Why would they prefer him over her?
