Please Democrats, believe the report that says Twitter bots elected Donald Trump

Democrats are still desperate to explain their 2016 loss, and they’re desperate to do so without admitting that Hillary Clinton personifies most of their horrible, unworkable, rejected, beliefs. The candidate herself has become famous for her “everyone and everything but me” blame game – to the point where even former supporters are telling her to pipe down and go away. She’s not going to. Frankly, I suspect she’s in capable of doing so.

However, even if she was inclined to shuffle off the stage, this bit of fluff from Bloomberg would probably keep her going for another 3 months. A new, and utterly dubious, “study” claims that mysterious “Twitter bots” were worth 3 points in 2016 – and they swung the election to Donald Trump....

Don’t worry about the ignorant Twitter “ruling” by the so-called “Judge”. All President Trump has to do is IGNORE the so-called “Judge” and block whomever he WANTS. The so-called “Judge” has violated the separation-of-powers doctrine, and the impotent “Judge” can in no way enforce his so-called “ruling” anyway. PERIOD!

Different issue concerning Twitter. This one is about a report claiming “Twitter bots” tipped the election in Trump’s favor over Hillary somehow.

I watched election night 2016 vids today to cheer myself up.

It worked wonders.

RT had a contrast vid between Trump and Hillary convention centers.

Hillaryous!

At least McGovern served his country in World War II in the USAAF.

My favorite is The Young Turks. Have you seen it?

The only thing that elected Trump? No. Did it have an impact? Sure. The amount of impact would be impossible to measure. But if there was no impact, then why invest the effort?

Activist judge now says trump cannot block bots. Free speech and all

So did Obama block any posts?

And can twitter shadowban trump’s posts or those of his supporters?

Definition of “bot” (to a leftie) - anybody that disagrees with the hard-left ideology; anybody that says something with which a libtard does not agree.

Russian Twitter bots against Trump. Media shields the public from the news

"They will NEVER admit that Hilliary was the absolute

It's more than Hillary was just a lousy candidate. She was.
It is the country's rejection of the Democrats' leftist agenda
for the nation that the Democrats absolutely refuse to acknowledge.
It hurts down to their marrow that no one wants the Democrats'
tyrannical plans imposed the nation.
