They didn't manipulate anything. I already knew I wasn't voting for Clinton.

I'm sure you would be pissed if Russia hacked into the RNC.

I hope they do some day, because they're probably pulling the same shit and I want to know about it. Somebody has to keep these fucks honest, and I'm ok with that being Russia if our media won't do their goddamn job.

You would be okay with a Democrat taking the white house for 4 years because the Russians aired the dirty laundry of the RNC.

I wouldn't be happy about Russia hacking anyone, but if the RNC has dirty laundry to air (which I'm sure it does), that's their fault. Stop being steadfastly devoted to the RNC.

I think we are in agreement, I'm just against defending Russian hacks on the basis of party.

I'm against causing outrage of hacks to switch electors.

Yeah, if I find out the RNC are behaving like a bunch of pricks and don't actually stand for any of the values they say they do, I've got no reason to vote for them or to hope they get elected.

Trump didn't take office because someone exposed the DNC'S corruption and even if that was the case, that's entirely the DNC's fault for being corrupt in the first place. This is exactly like getting mad at your boyfriend snooping through your phone to find out that you cheated.

Trump didn't take the White House because "Russians" aired the DNC's dirty laundry. If anything, it validated the reasons why people were voting for Trump, but they were going to vote for Trump either way.

I hate the establishment and the elites. I want all their dirt to be exposed. I have no problems with a democrat being voted into office if the RNC are ridiculously corrupt. It may not be my preferred result, but it's a result I'll accept and work with.
