When you want to hype up the GOP's downballot performance in 2016, understand that external factors like this helped out. Events like this only happened because the Russians specifically wanted to help Trump out due to his FP views.

In contrast, the russians slammed mccain for his foreign policy views the other day:

Not trusting Raw Story. I looked up it's Politifact file and it only has one vote; half true.
I'd say, judging by its other stories, it's about as credible as Occupy Democrats. Which, well... http://www.politifact.com/personalities/occupy-democrats/
