5. I don't see them getting to the actual votes... nor simply swinging ALL those

States to trump. They wouldn't have given him a tiny margin of victory that would bring recounts into play, nor would they swing too many states and make it look obvious.

Occams razor applies here.

Comey's douchebaggery, the release of emails which the russians DID hack, plus the fact she didn't pump up enough voters outside the base, added up to the outcome.

I still contend this should have been an epic blowout. Even if you don't like hillary, liking someone isn't a requirement for voting for them... i'd have sworn there'd be so many rethugs and independants that would swallow their pride and vote hillary, knowing what a disaster he'd be for the country.
