    Default Why did Russia hacking alter America's election outcome but not France's?

    So both elections were 'hacked' (whatever that means) by Russians.
    Dims claim it caused Trump to win because dim campaign operatives' emails were exposed by Wikipedia.
    Same thing happened to Macron's campaign yet he won by a landslide getting 65-66% of the vote.
    I don't understand. Somebody help me here. Why did the 'russians' fail so miserably in France's election yet succeeded so spectacularly in America's?

    Maybe because the average American Trump voter is more easily fooled?

    Moot point. The Russians didn't affect either election.

    Could be but that can't possibly account for the discrepancy in the outcomes. You're gonged. Next.

    That's not what the face of dims (hrc) said. And she's way smarter than the rest of us.

    hrc believes that. She's still running for president with that 'Onward Together' bs. A few dims, like Japanese living in caves in the Philippines still fighting WWII, do. Watch. She'll get $contributions from the coastal 1%ers who disdain the rest of the country.

    I've got news for you. The GOP hates the rest of the country too.

    I've known that since at least 1999. Nothing new to me.
    Problem is I hardly recognize dims or gop with the new alt left and alt right. Times are changing.
