The election was stolen by a combination of factors.

The Russian connection was a part of it, the voter suppression was a part of it, the gerrymandering (which contributed to the voter suppression) was a part of it, the liberal talking heads working for Russian television was a part of it.

Trump's part in it was unwitting and small compared to the other factors. He was selected (mostly by a combination of Putin and NBC's 'the Apprentice).

Claiming Trump stole it makes him look much smarter than he is. He's just a puppet.

I was surprised when I googled 'Ed Shultz anti Hillary' and there were many links to choose from. It's the same thing with googling 'Thom Hartman anti-Hillary'.

I was never an 'Ed fan' but I know he's a liberal blow hard in the tradition of Rush Limbaugh, so I was surprised to learn that he works for RT. So we have liberal blow hards working for the Russians, saying bad things about the liberal candidate.

This thing goes much deeper than any of us know. We've had republican hate radio dogging on liberals for a long time, but I didn't know we had liberal hate radio dogging on the democratic candidate.

I can't help but wonder how poisoned this election was and by how many players.

but maybe he kept an archive... not likely available because the videos are property of M$NBC and I don't think hthey have that available to us anymore.

Maybe googling him.

He was a skeptic of all the protest at first but his viewers jumped his shit about it and an oil train blew up near his home and probably dumped soot on his property. He quickly pivoted (he was also a RW guy until W's terms in office) to an advocate for the protests and spent a lot of time and $ researching and time on his show. I was impressed with his candor at the time. Not sure how he and others ended up being swindled into RT contracts but it happened. He was a promoter for Bernie and got pretty nasty about HRC once he got on RT too.
