Russia Isn’t the Only One Meddling in Elections. We Do It, Too.

In my opinion, we are suddenly acting so surprised because Trump won the election, and he was not supposed to. Whatever the Russians may have done, if Clinton had won, then we would have heard nary a word about it.

Nah . . . tell me this isn’t so . . . we would never mess with any foreign government or election!!!

I don't think anyone was surprised that the Russians would try to do this.......the surprise was that they found people on our end of things willing to play a role in helping them to do it. And yes, we try to influence other countries through a variety of actions......so we shouldn't object when someone does it to us? We should just say "Oh well" and move on? When we are caught at it, other countries don't shine it on. Remember how we tried to prop up the Shah of Iran? We are still paying a price for that interference in Iran's affairs. The big shock is not that they did this......the shock is that Trump has gone to such lengths to deny they did it at all, and then to excuse it when he could no longer deny it. Now he is saying "oh well" as Putin continues to deny what we know to be true. The investigation continues to turn up evidence of wrong doing on the part of the Russians, and in conjunction with people close to Trump on our end. Trump continues to call it a witch hunt and fake news. Sometimes, what you see right in front of your face, is actually the way it is. Who you gonna believe.......Trump or your lying eyes?
