The difference was one candidate campaigned with a strategy to win and one simply was ordering a fireworks celebration.

Bentway, Trump won by 100,000 votes in three states - that ain't no landslide. He lost the popular vote. So, a very slim victory. Was Putin's interference the difference? Anything could have been the difference. Elian Gonzales is the reason why George W. Bush won in 2000. (Thanks Janet!) Or the fact that Gore lost his home state of Tennessee. When I was cheering for the Portland Trailblazers over the L.A. Lakers, Portland had a 15 point lead going into the 4th quarter. But then they lost it, and then the Lakers edged out a small lead for the victory. Many factors could have been blamed for that last little edge, including poor officiating and the luck of the clock, but the fact remains that Portland gave up a 15 point lead. Same with Hillary. This election should have been hers, and she should have won by a landslide. Almost every electoral map gave her the lead. 95% of the media was anti-Trump, as well as half of the Republican establishment. Trump was also shooting himself in the foot twice a month. You gonna tell me that she lost this huge advantage all because of a few hacked e-mails? Or because of "fake news"? That tells me that you, like most Democrats out there, are in complete denial.
