i think the gop is fine with the focus on russian involvement in the election

[unblock]

because it misses the mark. foreign powers meddle in other countries' elections all the time. it's not cool, but it's certainly done.

that certainly doesn't excuse it, but russia doesn't answer to us.


what the real scandal is, i believe, is that republicans stole the election through a number of efforts, some technically legal, some legal until deemed unconstitutional perhaps, and some just plain illegal.

these include voter id laws, voter roll purges, selective restriction of voting hours or polling places, miscalibrated voting machines, and possibly hacking of vote totals.

never mind the other dirty tricks, such as comey's letter, and the ridiculously biased media.


i think they're happy the focus is on russian meddling and not on republican dirty tricks.
