UUUGHHH. NBC! Get OVER it. Hillary LOST because she SUCKS. The fact that it’s been over 2 years and they’re STILL trying to make excuses for her is absolutely PATHETIC.
The LATEST on why Hillary lost?
Jill Stein is an accidental Russian operative.
NBC News believes that failed presidential candidate Jill Stein might have inadvertently played a substantial role in what some media believe is a Russian conspiracy to defeat former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.
A Russian troll farm called the Internet Research Agency worked diligently to bolster Stein’s campaign ahead of the 2016 presidential election, NBC reported Saturday. The outlet analyzed a Dec. 17 report commissioned by the Senate that detailed the extent of the IRA’s role in the election.
An NBC analysis found that Russians working under the direction of the troll farm tweeted the phrase “Jill Stein” more than 1,000 times during the election. The report, which was conducted by the New Knowledge cybersecurity firm, found the campaign targeted mostly black Americans.
1,000 times?
I’m sorry… but the people I follow alone tweet 1,000 times per hour. 1,000 tweets had no impact on the election. I feel pretty strongly about this. Anyone who frequently uses Twitter knows I’m right.
Clint Watts, an NBC News analyst at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, told reporters that Russia’s decision to lean in toward Stein should not be that surprising. NBC reviewed archives of RT and Sputnik, which the CIA believes are Russian propaganda, and found more than 100 stories supporting Stein.
“Is Stein a fellow traveler or a useful idiot?” he asked, rhetorically. “I don’t know, but even after the election she played into Russia disinformation by pursuing a recount so heavily and claiming election fraud. This was a post-election coup for Kremlin propagandists.” Stein spent nearly $5 million on recount efforts after the election.
NBC then went on to recount Stein’s decision to accept an invitation to sit with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the head table of an RT anniversary dinner in December 2015. The Green Party presidential candidate told reporters at the time that she traveled to Moscow to talk about climate change.
LOLOLOLOLOL.
Whatever.
There is significant disagreement about the success of the ads. Most of the ads did not focus exclusively on then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump or Clinton, and the ad sales amounted to a mere $100,000.
Anyone who’s worked on a major social media marketing campaign NEGLIGIBLE.
And if you’ve seen the kind of crap they were putting out… Yeah. No one’s sold on this.
