How can anyone believe that it made a difference? Do you think enough people are both so non-partisan that they might not have already had their minds made up, and were that easy to manipulate?

Finally, what reason would Russia have to prefer any Republican over Hillary? Putin pretty much had enough blackmail evidence on Hillary to get anything he wanted if she were elected.

BTW, Rush Limbaugh did mention Gowdy's comments in his show today, so it's not as if the Right-wing punditry in general was trying to hide it.

This is what I've been wondering. I never even saw anything on Facebook that gave me reason to believe the Russians were trying to get anyone to change their vote other than the nauseating political posts by folks. I wouldn't have anyway because I don't let social media dictate how I decide to vote. Or a foreign government for that matter. Anyone who does obviously is not a critical thinker.

It's because, by-and-large, liberals think the average person is too stupid to do anything for themselves. Too stupid to own a gun, too stupid to not allow a foreign power's bad English bots to influence their vote... they literally think everyone is a total and complete incompetent moron. They hate the average person - instead of making them become better, they just placate them, allow them to become dumber and dumber, lazier and lazier, until they are totally reliant on what they consider the vastly superior government...

Which proves how dumb they actually are. Government can't do anything right, at all. Ever.
