The only reason why Donald Trump won the the election is because 306 out of 538 electors voted for him. Period, end of story.

So the question is, is there any evidence whatsoever that those 306 were influenced in any way by anything Russia did?

The answer is, no.

I feel like I'm the only person on earth who's figured that out.

For the most part the electors voted the way the plurality of voters in their state wanted them to.
So the question is did the Ruskies influence enough voters in the deciding states?

My view is that a most they were a minor factor because they solidified a negative view most had of Clintion. The biggest factor in the election was the Dems nominating Hillary.

No, that's NOT the only way he got elected----as ASPartOfMe said, most of the electors voted-for the person whom their state's residents wanted; so, now we're talking in terms of 180 (+/-) million people (I've read that, like, 60 percent [+/-] of Americans voted) and I feel that GREATLY widens the margin that people could've been influenced (for example, by believing what was reported about the Russians hacking DNC email accounts, and giving those emails to WikiLeaks).

'Course, IMO, other reasons include that he didn't care how he talked, and people found that refreshing----and, that Hillary made bad choices in deciding what states she wouldn't visit.

As for concrete evidence: As much as I hate to say it, I don't think we've seen, any----the intelligence community says there is, but I don't feel like the PUBLIC has been offered anything, concrete (just alot of articles, citing "un-named resources", etc.). I said "I hate to say it", cuz I would LOVE for it to be proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the Russians had something to do with it, and having them swing for it; because, as I've said, before, I don't trust 'em (including that friggin' so-called "government lawyer", that requested that meeting with DJT, Jr.)! !

The Reason? So we'd have a good reason to add to Mount Rushmore.

Eww. No.

Mount Rushmore is an eyesore in my opinion. I don't like it.

We should have left nature's beauty alone. Carving human faces into that mountain helped nobody.

Trump's 12 year reign will be supreme and all your tears are delicious muhahaha. I'm not that much of a Trump fan, but neither do I despise the man.

I heard someone on KIRO radio make a good point. He said, what about all the republicans in the house and senate, is russia responsible for that too?

I happen to like Mount Rushmore.

I doubt that Phoenix actually believes that Trunp will rise to the level of the men already there lol

Why not put Martin Luther King, or Rosa Parks, onto that spot on the mountain?

Except for the fact he's term limited to 2 terms (8 years) by the 22nd amendment, and at his age and living habits will probably not be alive in 8 years.

I know. That was just a bit of satire. I do that sometimes. But I could see him trying to push for that, after he pardons himself. Off the top of my head I believe the 22nd amendment was passed after FDR completed a 3 term presidency. And Trump's hippie doctor said he's in spectacular health https://www.theatlantic.com/health/arch ... cs/497840/

3.25 terms, and I could care less what the mad scientist from Area 52 in Independence Day has to say about his health. The KFC and burger/fries diet says all I need to know about his health. I mean really Ezra, does Trump seem like the type of person that takes advice from medical professionals, or anyone for that matter?
