    No one bats a thousand - but, yeah, when I saw his final prediction I was thinking "you know better - heck, you taught me!!!!"*

      Yep, she lost in the electoral college, but she won with the people, just as the polls predicted she would. If it weren't for the Russians and Jill Stein she'd have won the electoral college as well. Unfortunately the Russians won.

        And that's the only thing that matters, because both sides were fully aware of the rules, and ran their campaigns accordingly.

        Hillary is not POTUS
        SCOTUS is not Hillary's.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            No, I think the Russian interference meant to get Putins man into the Whire House matters as well, CP. And it all certainly worked out for Russia.

              You are free to believe any nutty conspiracy theory you wish, however, you don't have a shred of evidence that a single vote was changed...

              Testifying in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee Thursday morning, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper made it clear Russian hacking didn't change the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

              "They did not change any vote tallies or anything of that sort," Clapper stated.

                Right, and there is zero evidence that their** underfunded and underwhelming social media campaign compelled even a single voter to change his mind, let alone changed enough minds to swing the election Trump's way.



                **In fact, we don't even know if the Russian government was behind the memes being posted to Facebook. For that matter, we don't know if Russia was behind the "hack" because law enforcement was never given direct access to the evidence. The only thing on record is a redacted preliminary report provided by CrowdStrike working for the Democrat party.

                      I know that you're not so dumb, CP, as to interpret that to mean that Russian interference had no effect on the way people actually voted, even though that's what you're trying to imply. But in case you are, what he was actually saying is that the voting machines themselves, the tallies thereof, weren't somehow manipulated.

                            The above is the result of a failed search for the one I wanted showing the living presidents at Bush's funeral with something to point out they're a president and just nope beside Hillary.

                            Never say never.

                              Because the plan was for Hillary to win, and then the Democrats would have used the Russian collusion hoax and the full power of the US government to destroy Trump politically, professionally, and personally as a warning to any Washington "outsider" who dared to set foot in their sandbox. And Trump, being a private citizen, would have been virtually powerless to defend himself.

                                At that time there was not much that could be done other than to warn Putin, which Obama personally did himself, as well as did CIA head Brennan. He then briefed Congress on the situation and Moscow Mitch made it known to the administration that he would consider any effort to challenge the Russians publicly, an act of partisan politics.
