@JRG2733 First....NO evidence that the Russians helped Trump. NONE. I thought that it might have been true at one time but I wanted to see the evidence. There has been NONE shown. Innocent until proven guilty. Guilt is proven with evidence. No evidence....no guilt. So that part of your argument is getting to be just plain dumb. Second.....Trump won through the electoral college vote. The electoral college was put in place over 200 years ago and the reason for it was quite simply why the United States rebelled against Britain in the first place. Taxation without representation. The 13 colonies were being taxed, without any input from the colonies, by the more powerful British government. The forefathers believed that each region should have a say in how they are governed and devised a system of regional representation. They didn't want the more populous regions to dictate to the more rural and distant regions. Why would states like Alaska, Hawaii, Montana and others like it even bother to stay in the union if New York, California, Texas and Illinois control the votes and the country. They'd separate from the US, just like the 13 colonies did from Britain. A simple civics course would have helped Hillary, immensely. They she would have realised that fly over America was important and wouldn't have had the arrogance to not bother to campaign in those states. She lost because of her arrogance and disdain for a certain demographic of America. The very demographic that voted for Obama, voted for Trump. Calling them a basket of deplorables may well have been part of the worst campaign strategy in American history. It showcased an elitist attitude that a lot of Americans hated. Actually, a civics course might do YOU some good as well.

@loudharley6926 The claim is that the Russians had dirt of Hillary and Trump Jr. went to find out what it was. So what was this dirt? The fact is that no one really knows what went on at that meeting and whatever it was, we don't know if there was a deal struck or not. What we know is one thing. They had a meeting. The Mueller Report turned up nothing. So, the entire thing was let go.....except by those who insist that they DO know. As for Flynn? Yeah, he was in a mess but there's more to it than we know. Wait till the Durham report comes out. This is beating a dead horse. It's no different than the media going on about the Covington Kids, in spite of the video footage that shows that those kids did nothing. Their only crime was that some of them were wearing MAGA hats. Wear that hat and you MUST be guilty. They still haven't proved a thing about Russian collusion. Adam Schiff said over and over that he had proof but nothing. The released transcripts showed that not one of them had any proof, in spite of what they said on TV. This is all about one thing. This is the Democrat dismay that Trump actually beat them. They can't believe it happened. They blame the Russians. They blame the electoral college system. They blame racism. They blame the gullibility of the hillbillies of "fly over" America. They blame everything but where the fault really lies. The Democrat party. They ran a terrible campaign and it's their arrogance that was their undoing. You'd think that 3 years of investigations they'd be able to remove Trump from office and they still can't do it.

@loudharley6926 They didn't even go through with impeachment proceedings after the Mueller report. Hillary lost because she didn't bother going to the swing states to campaign. She derided middle America, calling them a basket of deplorables and the Walmart shoppers. She told everyone that white people have to learn how to behave, that they have to accept their privilege and racist tendencies. Smart thinking that was. White people make up 65% of the population so she insults them and then expects them to vote for her. In the end, the VERY states that voted for Obama, voted for Trump. At the time, I didn't support Trump but I kept telling everyone that Hillary was losing her bid due to her arrogance and that she had to change her strategy and attitude. They called me Trumpster. You're doing the same thing that they're doing and worse, what the Democrats are doing. When you fail at something, don't blame others. Figure out what you did wrong, what you missed and don't do it again next time. But guys like you and the entire Democrat party won't learn. They keep on saying the same thing over and over and keep losing. If they lose again, what then? Are they going to be like Schiff and suggest it was because Trump offered Putin Alaska. I repeat....the VERY states that voted for Obama, voted for Trump. If the Democrats don't fix that, they'll lose again and mail in ballots and not requiring ID isn't going to help them.

My dog made it onto the voter's list once. George Haveman....my dog, although we just called him George. Fortunately, here in Canada we have to show ID to vote so no one could impersonate my dog and vote in his place. Democrats are being dishonest. They know of the risks and they're pretending that they don't. I'd say they'd like to see a system with as many risks as possible.

We used to keep a toad in our cellar to eat the bugs that would come in with the wood for our wood furnace. It would do a great job keeping the house free of all the weird bugs that live under the bark of trees. That'd be a great job for Nadler. Kind of like Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings".
