Second question, also yes or no, do you think that Trump seeking to downplay this foreign influence that is working to help his re-election is a concerning situation for our democracy?

Shouldn't they have already been working on that or have figured it out by now? Trump's election was not the first time with outsiders (or specifically Russians) trying to influence the voters.

Why wouldn't he downplay it? I believe the impact was fairly minimal. Most voters already had decided. Also I think the Media did more to try to influence voters than Russia did. Even Comey hurt Hills campaign more than Russia did. But I said it back then, and will say it again, Hills pandered to the wrong crowd. Agree or dis-agree?

"but others do it" excuse? I specifically said WE do it to others, so turn about is fair play. Do you agree or not with that? I didn't say we have to accept it. Just expect it and be ready for it and obviously we were not ready for it. Did they influence some votes? Probably, but with the way this country is, I'd say the impact wasn't that big, people already knew which way they were voting. And if anything, Comey did more damage to Hillary and the Media did it's damage to Trump more so than what the Russians did.

Republicans, while they will surely turn on Trump when he is out of office, become proAmerica, proConstitution etc, can't erase their role in this dismantling of the constitution and it's important for Americans to remember.

That's just BS, Republicans have been trying to get voter integrity for years, but the Dem's won't allow it. You know Photo ID, I doubt they would even if it was favorable to the Dems, you can't control outside influence with out trying to control the Media as well, but you can point it out.

Haven't the Russian come out and said they plan to help Bernie next? As someone has already stated, their goal is not to "Unite" us, but keep us "Divided".
