Betsy DeVos was made Secretary of Education as a reward for delivering the upper Midwest to Trump.

In her position, DeVos can privatize schools and make a ton of money off charter schools.

So more kids can be brainwashed into her pro-wealthy values in religious and private schools. That's a major goal.

5. Russians hacked DCCC

And the DCCC had all this info.
Still it's likely Russia worked with the Trump team, but maybe the DCCC hack was enough

6. Wisconsin and Reince Priebus

Reince Primus was the very active architect of Wisconsin's turn from a blue to a red state in 2010.

He had headed Wisconsin's Republican Party and then became head the Republican National Committee, where he came a kingmaker for Donald Trump and was then rewarded with the position of Chief of Staff to the president.

He has had an "amazing" career-before being dumped by Trump a few months ago.

There is little he does not know about winning elections and the inner workings of political campaigns, and how to raise money.

If there was significant Russian influence in Wisconsin. I believe he would have at the the very least known about it in real time.
