I suspect they'll start caring as it becomes more and more clear that Putin OWNS Trump. No real American is willing to stand by and watch as our country is sold out to a KGB dictator. The Russia apologists are quislings--traitors to America and all that we stand for. |
Do you have some intel you want to share? And are you really comparing Obama to a murderous dictator like Putin? |
Now, this I agree with but the Democrats nominated Hillary and really screwed themselves in the process ....... and that is the main reason they lost against Trump. Not the Russian hacking ....... it was plain and simple because you nominated a totally flawed candidate who had no message. So own it and try and have a winning message, agenda and candidate in 2020. |
This is not an election issue, it is a governance issue. I'm really not ok with Trump being president if there is proof of collaboration between his campaign and Putin. Are you? |
Ah, but only 46% of the electorate voted for him. The 48% that voted for Clinton and the 6% that voted other candidates do care. |
Sigh. 2.8 million MORE people voted for someone else. A huge portion of the country DOES care about this. You don't get to say what is important and what's not important to us. These boards were loaded with people complaining about Hillary Clinton being beholden to foreign powers because they donated to her charity (which I actually was concerned about as well), and now you think it's no big deal for a foreign power to manipulate our election? Seriously I wonder what alternate universe we have entered. |
It is an election issue to the extent that Democrats are blaming Russian hacking for Hillary losing the election. Do you realize that Democrats blame anything and everything from hacking to Comey to media bias to fake news to white nationalists to "deplorables" and on an on ...... what they will not blame is that they had a totally messed up candidate who got the nomination because the DNC rigged the primaries and thereby eliminated any viable competition. If there is incontrovertible proof that Trump colluded with the Russians, yes that would be a serious issue. But all we have at the moment is idle speculation about any such connection and even the issue of Russian hacking and the motivation for the hacking is something that the CIA and FBI disagree on. |
He won the presidency despite not releasing his tax returns - so for those who voted for him the failure to release his tax returns was not a deal breaker. Yes, Hillary won the popular vote but that is not the mechanism for awarding the presidency. If you don't like it then work to change the constitution. |
| The election deniers are just abhorrant and anti American treasonous leches. |
Nowhere did I say that a foreign power manipulating our election is not a cause for concern. In what sort of alternate alternate universe have we entered when people cannot comprehend simple English? |
| OP forgot why the Russians are bad. Insert Santayana quote here. |

Let's take a poll because there seems to be some a great deal of misunderstanding and ambiguity about the matter.
Is it a cause for concern for a foreign power to manipulate our election or not? A) Yes, because... B) No, because... |
This whole thread is about how people are hyperventilating unnecessarily. |
Which is why there is an ongoing full scale investigation that will be completed in the next few weeks, with more on the horizon . The facts aren't going to reveal themselves. |
So you agree that the majority of voters (i.e. those who voted for Hillary) do care about his tax returns and conflicts of interest. |
