(15,408 posts)so, to release what we knew then would not have helped. I'm not sure if it would have helped if the FBI had arrested him for treason.
He would have had to have been convicted to be removed from the ballot (I think) and unless he was removed from the ballot, or maybe convicted of treason, he would have still won.
With all of Trump's flip flops since taking office it seem obvious why he won. People believed he would do the things he said he would do. Make Mexico pay, stop China's unfair currency manipulation, don't go to war, give everyone better, cheaper health insurance, open the coal mines and give everyone great paying jobs again and on and on and on.
Gullible people voted for him because he was going to make them rich like he is. The same people who signed up for Trump U. Pie in the sky. They would have seen getting Russia to help as a smart move by Trump. Just like not paying taxes.
