A report that month, as Trump noted, said hackers with ties to the Russian government had targeted North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and the Ukrainian government. They tried to hack into our system repeatedly. James Comey, misogynist, racist, Bernie Sanders, everything, third party candidates. “If my many supporters acted and threatened people like those who lost the election are doing, they would be scorned and called bad names”, the president-elect tweeted.

For Democrats, that probably won’t happen as quickly or as smoothly due to their insufferable sense of self-righteousness that has alienated millions of voters who don’t live in California, New York, or the liberal Northeast. “That is just not only inaccurate and false, but it’s risky and it does undermine our democracy”.
