    Uh?? He was dragged through the mud for most of his presidency saying he conspired with the Russians to
    win the US election.

    Hillary Clinton herself called him an "illegitimate president" https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...195d5a-e099-11e9-b199-f638bf2c340f_story.html

    George Bush (who I don't like at all) was also dragged through the mud as a racist and war criminal and illegitimate president.
    Its just par for course by Washington and their cronies in the media.

    Everyone knew Obama was going to be speaking at the event. It's called getting out ahead of the event. Very easy concept to grasp, yet you are struggling mightily to do so! But right on cue, Obama turns a man's funeral into a chance to rail against the police and push liberal fantasies like vote by mail.

    The evidence showed that Russia attempted to interfere with the election in an effort to harm Clinton and Help Trump. There was no conclusion that it changed the result.

    I noticed you forgot about Obama being dragged through the mud and people claiming he was illegitimate.

    Most notably this guy.




    How soon we forget.

    did a bit of reading on this. there was fraud, yes, but it seems to me (on a cursory look, admittedly) that most of the fraud was Democratic for McLellan. Perhaps you meant the election in general involved a high level of fraudulent activity?

    a relatively ancient but well-researched source: https://www.jstor.org/stable/23148753?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents

    as an aside, this is a quick and interesting read: https://www.history.com/news/civil-war-presidential-election-abraham-lincoln

    Maybe he should be getting his big money donor he picked to head the Post Office a couple months ago to do his job, and not make this a political conspiracy.

    According to the article posted in May
    It said Louis DeJoy has donated over $360,000 to the president's re-election campaign and about $70,000 to the Republican National Committee. Surprise surprise.

    Elections in the second half of the 19th Century were riven with fraud.

    Granted it was 25 years ago when I looked into it, but I remember fraud being rampant all the way around concerning the election (which really shouldn’t be a surprise considering the era and circumstances). McLellan’s fraud is well known. I also remember reading reports from Union soldiers years later discussing that they were either pressured to vote for Lincoln or their ballots were already filled out supporting Lincoln.

    It is an interesting period and I will read your sources in a bit.

    no, you're right--all of the above happened. but what I've been reading both in the older sources but also more recent updates is that the fraud in all directions didn't seem to affect the election outcome. I think I read a single state might have gone the other way. But it is as you say a really interesting thing to dig into.

    It must be so taxing for McEnany to constantly have to speak out of both sides of her mouth. I don’t know how she keeps her numerous lies and contradictions straight.

    It's not taxing because she does not care if she keeps them straight and she will still have cheerleaders saying she did a good job riling the libs.
