The Dems had everything to gain by colluding with Moscow and the Russians have a lot to gain by sowing more government deadlock and societal discord.

Yeah I can see hm being the type of person to try and rig an election.

In other things, have we concluded the voter turnout this year? It seems astronomically high.
If you've had the unfortunate experience of viewing my horribly antiquated political views, I apologize. I am a far different person than I was in 2016, so bear with me.

No he didn’t rig the election. It was going to be a close race the polls where spot on.

No seriously Kemp is a fucking retard who has a shitty personality. The only thing that kept him in was Trump and Governor Deal who is insanely popular.

I don’t think that Kemp will win re-election.

Had Beto ran against anyone else but Cruz I could excuse you the "rural areas" argument, but in this case the sole reason Beto lost was because of his own wrongdoing in terms of campaign and agenda pushing, or marketing if you will.

Florida I think was due to racism. They had a once in a generation opportunity and they blew it. I will not forgive that state for sometime if ever.

That's a pretty heavy accusation to level against millions of people. :blink:

I believe it’s called acting. Nap doesn’t actually believe that the democrats colluded with Russia. But he’s making a point about the republicans supposed collusion with Russia.

Which honestly I don’t see anything there

I do think that hypothesis probably has some merit, but we won't know for sure unless some sort of research is made into the matter.

The Russians have a lot to gain, but I doubt the Dems would seek them out to collude. The Russians just want to divide America. They'll play both parties.

Kindly refrain from posting baseless conspiracy theories. Either in jest to mock Trump's Russia investigation or in earnest, it's baseless either way.
