Why Trump "Won"
How Russia Helped Swing the Election for Trump
"Politicians may be too timid to explore the subject, but a new book from, of all places, Oxford University Press promises to be incendiary.
"'“
Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a President—What We Don’t, Can’t, and Do Know,' by Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a professor of communications at the University of Pennsylvania, dares to ask—and even attempts to answer—whether Russian meddling had a decisive impact in 2016.
"Jamieson offers a forensic analysis of the available evidence and concludes that Russia very likely delivered Trump’s victory."
Jamieson has spent the last 40 years studying political ads, debates, and speeches; she has supporters among Democrats and Republicans.
"She continued, 'I’m not arguing that Russians pulled the voting levers. I’m arguing that they persuaded enough people to either vote a certain way or not vote at all.'
"The effect of such manipulations could be momentous in an election as close as the 2016 race, in which Clinton got nearly 2.9 million more votes than Trump,
and Trump won the Electoral College only because some eighty thousand votes went his way in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania."

"The effect of such manipulations could be momentous in an election as close as the 2016 race, in which Clinton got nearly 2.9 million more votes than Trump, and Trump won the Electoral College only because some eighty thousand votes went his way in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania...."
"Strikingly, the July indictment showed that Russian hackers’ first attempt to infiltrate the computer servers in Clinton’s personal offices had taken place on July 27, 2016,
the same day that Trump had declared, 'Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the thirty thousand e-mails that are missing,” adding, “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.'"

Hillary spent more time at fund raisers then campaigning
She spent more time with donors,
then with the people she was asking to vote for her
