Comey re-opened Hill's email

The Russians did it

I'm most likely missing a couple.

I'm almost to the point that I will de pulling for a Dem in 2020, just so folks will stop it and get back to topics.

An odd point to make, if it is a point.

Comey did re-open the email issue, didn't he? And the Russians did interfere with the election on an unprecedented scale.  Those aren't "alternative" facts, right?  You forgot to add Benghazi and decades of faux-Clinton scandals to depress the Dem vote.

And in what would Trump's "merit" consist here? His command of foreign policy? His business acumen? No. He appealed to the darkest, most xenophobic impulses in voters--and those voters were prepared to accept the lowest standards of candidate integrity and ethics to put their man in office.

People who look for excuses as to why Hillary lost are just trying to make the U.S. electorate look better than it is. We have a problem that is bigger than Trump, and it won't go away when Trump is gone.
