And they'll be the last people to admit that.
So "the hack narrative" lives on in the whimsical bubble of the Democrat Media—and in the hearts and minds of those who get their news from it...
Well, the “hack” narrative does not by itself eliminate the possibility of “collusion”.
I still see no inherent connection between the allegations that have been tossed out. There are 2 unconnected assumptions going around.
If the Russians hacked, OK, they did. Let’s assume that is a true truth. The tacit conclusion is implied that: Trump won, which nobody believes was possible. So whatever the Russians did, 1: It must have worked and 2: It must have worked in favor of Trump. These conclusions do not follow from each other; they are the same kind of 4th-grade dirtbomb throwing the Dems continuously engage in.
What if the Russians worked to elect HRC and their efforts backfired; or just simply had no perceivable effect? Never mind what is or may be believable; that could change depending upon whom you supported.
It’s not even logically coherent if we stipulate that the Russians hacked AND they were in favor of Trump. Those efforts STILL would have had to work; and there is hardly a credible explanation just how that might have occurred and certainly no evidence that such a thing even occurred at all.
