The only person they’d boost is Rohrabacher. Everyone else hates them.

If Democrats don't take back the house it will be the sole fault of Russian intelligence.

House Republicans don't seem to have a problem with them.

The Democrats need to run some Facebook ads of their own. Play the "truth" game right back at Republicans and Russia, and see how they like it. You can't beat these people by playing fair and if it takes dragging people in the dirt unfairly, so be it.

Why do so many people hate America? Why are they fine with a foreign power interfering in elections?

Getting a foreign power to help you defeat an internal enemy is not ''unpatriotic''. History is full of examples of this.

Even if true, which I do not concede, the opposing political party is not an "internal enemy".

British intelligence meddled in US elections to harm anti-war candidates in the lead up to US involvement in WW2.

US intelligence meddled in British political affairs to try and force the Liberal Government at the time to stop cozying up to the Confederacy.

There's a YUGE difference between merely endorsing a candidate and actually hacking into opposition party systems to get a candidate elected.

I have never heard of either of these allegations. Interesting. Are you an historian by chance??

I think we should accept Foreign powers meddling in other countries election. It brings the poison of nationalism ever closer to a natural death - and if the nationalists are the one to kill their one idealogy, so be it.
