The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!That is what most of the media want you to believe about the 2020 election.

This explains the recent spate of reports about the Russians attempting to hack the results of the upcoming election just as they supposedly did with the 2016 election despite no solid proof. And among those who saw no real proof of Russian influence on the 2016 election is someone who is among the ones most steeped in the electoral facts of that election, Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight.

So if the Democrats are really worried about Russian meddling in the next election, will they now support security measures such as mandatory photo ID and other methods to prevent vote fraud to keep Russian bots from voting?

What effect did the Russian collusion hoax have on the 2018 election?

Democrats ran a hoax for three years and they left Trump twisting slowly in the wind.

We lost the House because of it ending in Trump’s impeachment. This was all baked in the cake the moment Trump came down the escalator in 2015.

Andrew Weissman, the real brains behind the Mueller probe, sat on the evidence till after the 2918 election.

They withheld the truth to make sure the Democrats won.

No we lost because the never trumpers along with their clown ring leader declined to support the president ..the sleuth of resignations was a finger to Trump!! We saw right through it!! Unfortunately our base was deflated and angry but not enough to go out and vote to overcome the fraud everywhere!! I believe Benedict Ryan colluded with the rats to lose the house purposely to hurt Trump! I did not see him out there supporting any candidates during the 2018 election ...zippo!! That spoke volumes!

That’s why Muller waited until after the midterms to deliver his report.

He knew from the beginning that their was no collusion but he was trying to influence the midterm election.

This needs to be brought up for this years election. The DNC needs to pay a price for their dirty tricks.

The claim that Russian hacking swung the 2016 election reminds me of the story of the princess and the pea. Some obscure Russian trolling in social media and obscure websites (the pea) somehow overcame the combined anti-Trump onslaught of the mass media (the twenty mattresses).
