The ultimate BS spin answer of the year.

The bots caused Blacks not to vote and union employees to vote. It had nothing to do with Hillary being such a HORRIBLE candidate.

We also have to assume these blacks and union voters all read FB on a regular basis.

She took a gamble on a set of states that typically are blue. Whether they are typical locks or not, citizens usually feel slighted if they are ignored. No matter how you slice it, this is the direct fault of the Clinton Campaign due to a gamble. You call it Russian interference and I call it consequences of direct campaign choices.

Yeah, no one said it wasn’t her fault for losing. Had she made better decisions on campaign resources she would have won. Had Russia not interfered, she might have won. Change almost any one thing, she might have won.

It took everything breaking for Trump to win. He caught the inside straight draw on the river. Had the Clinton campaign not made such poor tactical decisions, all of this would be a moot point, though, so it is still on her.

Are you saying ads don’t work?

Guess universities should shut down their marketing courses and degrees!

We had this discussion in another thread last week. I told you then then that demographics define marketing strategy. You seem to think FB is the main source of news for those two demographics.

Why would it matter if it were the “main” source rather than just “a” source?

OK, so what you're saying basically is that if Hillary hadn't lost, she'd have won. Isn't that pretty true of somebody in every election?

[Guisslapp]

Russia didn’t interfere in the election, but if they did, they started in 2014 and Obama should have done something about it. lol

If I didn’t know better, I would think that Mueller’s most recent indictment was Trump’s first intel briefing on the subject. What a joke!

[techman05]

Don’t worry, no one colluded with anyone to affect any election. It’s all just Russian propaganda put out there to make us think that the Russian propaganda caused Hillary to lose.

That Obama speech from October 2016 has to hurt Hillary groupies. You won't hear it or see it on anything other than Fox News or Rush.

Funny thing is that if FoxNews said that, there would be quite a few on here that would believe it.

Flashback: CNN and MSNBC Helped Russia Sow Discord by Promoting Fake Anti-Trump Rally

One of the revelations in Friday’s indictment handed down by Special Counsel Robert Mueller was that alleged Russian attempts to sow disunity in 2016 included the organization of both pro- and anti-Trump rallies in New York City on the Saturday after Election Day.
A check of their November 12 coverage showed both CNN and MSNBC gave enthusiastic coverage to the Russian-organized anti-Trump rally that day, with live reports every hour. Correspondents celebrated the idea that it was “a love rally,” and repeated the marchers’ anti-Trump mantras, such as: “We reject the President-elect.”
While the two liberal anti-Trump networks offered heavy coverage of the anti-Trump rally throughout the day, a check of coverage between noon and 5:00 p.m. Eastern found that the Fox News Channel offered only a short re-cap (66 seconds) at the start of their 4:00 p.m. Eastern hour.

So, my thought that they wanted to sow discord on both sides may be correct. Hhmmm

Just as I thought. This whole anti-Trump campaign is nothing but a bunch of meddling by the Russians and their willing co-conspirators.

Shame on them!

We have a few Russian bots that apparently post here. wink wink nudge nudge

Of course they did. They also wanted Trump says the intel community. Most likely because they knew he would be a divisive leader sowing discord and distrust in American institutions. That is exactly what Putin wanted.
