The trap they fell for is that they have no credibility at all and tried to influence the election. If they wanted to oppose Trump (they obviously did), what they should have done is talk about Hillary's emails night and day, like it was the only issue of the election, until people got so sick of the fake news media they voted for Hillary. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:927718797] in Politics C...
