You are conflating Rigging and Influencing. Two different things
Trump claimed during the campaign that the election was rigged with Illegal voters. |

The phrase you inserted, explains why, exactly, you can't rig elections, according to Obama. That doesn't refute my point, it bolsters it. |

Sexy spy talk has me all a twitter..."You're a SPY ?"...."YES!...oooh..YES!...ooh... YES!!!"..cigarette ...and constantly having to educate you is tiring...if the left(not you of course, disguised as a moderate extremist non-denominational...."covert" perhaps) would stop speaking in tongues and using unintelligible punctuation and spelling we could save everyone a lot of time and effort. What ever happened to the "more highly educated" part of being liberal? Or does being liberal mean never having to communicate clearly...just put on a hat, hold a poster and chant a rhyme? I've been listening to NPR a lot...and I'm beginning to get what is wrong in the heads of the left but having to listen or read something repeatedly in order to discern intent and meaning makes it very hard to put into context.

And the evidence that the influencing had any measurable effect, is what?
Russia made some Yahoo posts that nobody was aware existed, until after it was over.
The Democrats rigged their primary to nominate a candidate who is so loathsome, that merely mentioning her name makes normal men clench their but cheeks. Maybe that had something to do with it? Look at how she handled this loss, blaming every liberal boogeyman in sight, and in the end, blaming women for being voting slaves to their men (there's all kinds of evidence that happened).
She's un-likeable, a truly wretched woman, who no matter what she says, men picture their wives yelling "take out the garbage!!" She's like the whole nation's ex-wife.
Read the last part of Obama's quote, about how being a sore loser means you aren't up for the job. According to Obama, then, we dodged a bullet, didn't we? |
