Kevin, you say 40,000 fewer black voters went to the polls in 2016 versus 2012. That's an interesting statistic - one which might justify some discussion. Instead, you come out with the pronouncement that the reason for that is of Putin's doing and, furthermore, that Trump was the instigator. Do you libs ever use common reason to come to a conclusion or do you just shoot from the hip and pull out the usual democrat talking points? What was the number of black voters prior to Obama's 8 years? Do you think there is any connection? I propose, without even looking up the numbers, that Obama, being black (or half black) drew out more black voters who we already know voted in the upper 90% for Obama. Instead of coming, to the conclusion that since there wasn't a black candidate in 2016, you immediately come up with the statement, already proven untrue, that the Russkies were responsible and Trump was the cause.

The extent of Trumps collusion with the Russians according to the Mueller report is his campaigns meetings with Russians in hopes of getting dirt on Clinton, His public solicitation of the Russians to hack Clintons emails during the campaign, which they did the next day and their failure to report Russian outreach to the FBI. To my knowledge Trump had no input or for that matter knowledge of Putins disinformation attack on American social media. It is very likely this influence had an effect on the outcome of the election, the attack was very carefully planned and aimed at handing Trump an electoral victory, and it worked.
