    That's definitely part of it. But the spreading of propaganda, fake news stories, etc. was also a part. Paid trolls on websites were and are a part.

    Is this more of an affront to our democracy than the DNC being in the bag for Clinton?

    The DNC has no further than the mirror to look for blame in the Clinton loss

    The DNC was absolutely wrong for what it did. What they did was not illegal, however. The DNC fired those responsible and cleaned house. Russia has had some sanctions levied against them. As we find out about more, it's possible there will be other consequences as well.

    Yes, it is more of an affront.

    Always laugh at Trump supporters narrowly defining "interfere with election in favor of Trump" as 'hacking voting booths"...

    I'm not defending Trump interference cause he didn't interfere

    Stop saying I'm defending something that's not proven

    That wasn't what NewRoxFan was saying. He was saying Russian interference on behalf of Trump.

    I'm curious. Were you ever swayed by something you read online?

    You're missing the point. Hilary has been around since Bill. People's minds were made up long ago.

    In a situation like her emails, people would only read them to confirm their dislike for her

    Edit:. Even if people were influenced, they are real. What's different from Trump habing a 12 year old secretly recorded private conversation pop up. Who cares if it's Russians or whomever recorded Trump
