    Were you tricked out of your vote for Hillary Clinton buy the Russians?

    Even though many people claim that so many people were tricked out of their vote for Hillary Clinton but the Russians that Trump's election should be invalidated, I have yet to personally meet anyone who claims that they were tricked out of their vote for Hillary Clinton but the Russians.

    I'd feel a lot better about the pursuit of a "Russian collusion" if I believed that it had any actual effect. What's next? Are we going to invalidate every election that someone tries to affect even if their efforts are unsuccessful ?

    Unless we find at least one voter who was tricked out of their vote buy the Russians, I say no harm = no foul.

    For me the choice was simple -- Donald Trump, or, Hillary Clinton. The "Russians" didn't have anything to do with it as far as I was concerned, but, I'm not a person who gets his opinions spoon-fed by anyone of any political persuasion on 'social media', which is mostly just a silly waste of time for people with too little of any importance in their lives....

    So, of course I voted for Trump! Sure, there were other candidates I preferred over him, but he was the only nominee with a chance of winning who wasn't a radical Democrat or self-proclaimed socialist. Easiest choice I've ever had... but I still wish we could have elected Rick Perry!

    But, as the old song goes, "You can't always get what you want...." Enjoy! --

    Fringe liberals have always lacked a certain level of critical thinking.

    Trumps a fascist, but you don't have any reason to own an "assault" rifle.

    Raising the minimum wage boosts economic growth, except for migrant farm workers.

    Our voters were duped by the Russians into voting for Trump.

    I dont know any person remotely concerned with having a competent and ethical President could have voted for either. Both of those options were awful so I voted for Johnson.

    Even though most people will come right out and tell you that they voted for the "lesser of two evils", they are still surprised when evil wins.
    I also voted for Johnson, but I am pleasantly surprised with Trump so far. If he keeps on in this vain, I may vote for him in 2020.

    He is better then I thought he would be, but I would not say he is good. I liked his choice of Supreme court justice. But he is embarrassing and diminishes the dignity of both the country and his office by his words.

    Anyone with two brain cells to rub together doesn't let some stranger's memes or posts actively influence their vote without doing research first. Unfortunately, there are a great number of people who vote for whomever is dangling the carrot du jour.

    I agree, there were tons of 'Never X' type votes out there. Mine went to a third party. The Russians have been meddling for decades.... and the US has been influencing foreign elections for even longer.

    He is the first guy I'd hire and the last one I'd invite to the Christmas party.
