Trump Voters Don't Care........Whats the Big Deal? Ask Trump Voters on Russia Hacking Report



COVINGTON, La. — “Sour grapes,” explained Bob Marino, 79, weighing in on the recent spycraft bombshell from the corner table of a local McDonald’s.

“Sour grapes,” agreed Roger Noel, 65, sitting next to him.
“Bunch of crybabies,” Reed Guidry, 64, offered from across the table.

The subject of conversation was the report released by United States intelligence chiefs on Friday informing President-elect Donald J. Trump of their unanimous conclusion that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia ordered an extensive, but covert, cyberoperation to help Mr. Trump win the election. The Russians had hacked and leaked emails, unleashed “trolls” on social media and used their “state-run propaganda machine” to spread stories harmful to Hillary Clinton.

In Washington, the report was viewed as extraordinary, both for its timing, raising sharp questions about the president-elect’s legitimacy on the verge of his taking office, and for its assertions, describing the operation as Russia’s boldest effort yet to meddle with American elections, to spread discontent and to “undermine the U.S.-led democratic order.”

own throats.

I seriously look forward to the articles about their feelings of betrayal when there's no more healthcare, and their loved ones are dying.
No jobs returning, etc.

Some conservatives have no problem with this because their candidate won. I am sure they would feel very differently if Russia had hacked the GOP and helped Hillary Clinton instead. Some conservatives look up to Putin and see Trump is their own Vladimir Vladimirovich. They are all despicable either way.
