Russia Redux

After Trump won in 2016, the Democrats and their media enablers went into a death spiral trying to find how that happened. What they came up was alleged Russian interference in the election. How else to explain how Queen Hillary was defeated?

All of this led to the Mueller investigation, which after two years and many millions of taxpayer dollars wasted produced…crickets. No evidence of any connection between Trump (or his campaign) and Russia. No evidence, beyond some Facebook posts, that Russian agents had any impact whatsoever.

But the Dems are yet again bleating “Russia, Russia, Russia.” As in, Russia, in the person of Vladimir Putin, is, yet again, going to, through some as-yet unspecified magic, get Donald Trump reelected.

It’s certainly possible that Putin would prefer Trump to be reelected. I don’t think that is true, but, hey, everyone’s got an opinion… As for Russia’s ability to get anyone elected, even Red Bernie (still one of Lenin’s “useful idiots”), the evidence suggests that it is close to impossible for any entity to hack a sufficient number of states’ internal voting. The key word is “internal,” as in, each state has, in essence, an air gap between its voting and those of other states.

Did Russia try to influence the 2016 election? I’m certain they did try. Did it make a difference? I’m certain it did not then and most likely will not in 2020.

My conclusion on the Democrats and their media enablers is that they are fools to actually believe what they claim. I don’t think they are fools (mostly), and that leaves the only logical conclusion: they are dishonest and know what they are peddling are lies.
