Democrats Sue Russia, WikiLeaks And Trump Campaign Over Election 'Conspiracy'

I think we are going to have a new Twitter War.

Why don’t they sue themselves for what they did to skew favor to Hillary?

"There's no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America's elections... If whenever things are going badly for you and you lose you start blaming somebody else, then you don't have what it takes to be in this job." -President Barack Obama, deriding the very notion of a rigged election in 2016.

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

The chopped up quote even omits a crucial piece that establishes...wait for it...wait for it.............wait for it...........

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

I see why you went into finance, your reading comprehension isn't that great.

Is influencing a crime?

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?

Bunk. Wasserman didn't rig anything. The DNC needed Clinton's cash.

Brazile certainly effed up but the stuff she relayed was obvious. Questions about the death penalty? Really?

Not a fan of either person, just don't think their situations are as freakworthy as you seem to.

Yeah but it's OK when they do it.

Also the super-delegates, whose entire existence is designed to in-do the popular vote, so that the DNC can get the candidate they want.

Borrowing G.O.P. Playbook, Democratic States Sue the Government and Rack Up Wins

Republicans initiated legal action against the Obama administration Friday over its use of executive authority, an issue that helped galvanize the GOP to victory in the Nov. 4 midterm elections.

Yes, they work to ensure that the DNC-preferred candidate gets the nomination, regardless of what the voters (what an inconvenience THEY are) might do. The RNC sure as hell didn't get the nominee they wanted. But they allowed the voters to decide.

As to my reading comprehension being poor, I noticed, as always, you didn't correct me. Gee I wonder why that is...

Sue Russia? I mean even Saturday Night Live couldn't come up with something so funny. I just love TDS. Pretty soon it will be covered by what's left of Obamacare.
