And you're right, what I said is more of a conservative thing than liberal so I'll say this, liberals don't concern themselves with the consequences of their actions unless or until they get caught and then they blame others for what happened or for getting caught, never owning up to what they did. Not all liberals, just as not all conservatives are okay with NSA surveillance, etc.

 

Also, I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how many people they believe were actually influenced by the hacking revelations. 

 

I don't have any hard facts, but I have a theory.

 

Most lifelong democrats probably rejected Hillary from the start of her "win" of the nomination.  I base this on what my own family members said prior to the election.  I can't say that any of them voted for Trump, but I do know for a fact that none of them voted for Hillary.  Most of them stated that they were going to vote for another party or write someone in.  I doubt that this group of voters were influenced by the information released by Wikileaks.

 

The information presented probably got a lot of Bernie Sanders voters to do the same thing.  I would bet that if they even bothered to vote, they either wrote Bernie's name in or voted for another candidate.  I would guess that this group of voters probably were influenced at least partially by the information released by Wikileaks.

 

Hillary's "votes" came from those on the left that are "hardcore (D)" and will vote just for the "D" as well as those that "voted" from the grave.
