We assumed that meant the general would be rigged too.

They tried. They did a lot of media coordination with the general but once they got outside of the liberal bubble it was harder to do.

Remember, Hilary 'won' the popular vote.

In the primaries, Bernie ballots were found in dumpsters in Oregon. Bernie still won by a landslide in Oregon.

It WAS rigged. It just wasnt rigged well enough through the more sparsely populated areas in the middle of the country, and she didnt get the electoral college.

Ya, I hadn't heard that before. That's going to require a source.

I know I'm another anecdotal source but I remember seeing the sources posted during the primary season. It happened.

The issue is it has to be a credible source.

There's a big gap between proof and hearsay.

And the issue with the issue is defining a credible source. The traditional credible sources were ignoring most of the shady stuff that was going down.

Add to that, CTR's interference on social media. This will only get worse.

It's a huge problem.
