Blaming Russia

[This Has Only Just Begun]

I believe it is clear that Russian espionage into this election was so widespread it would be intellectually dishonest to conclude that the Kremlin was responsible for Hillary Clinton's loss.  They likely broke into Reince Priebus email account and found all sorts of juicy stuff and are holding onto it for blackmail.  I mean these are Russians we're talking about here, they got moles and spies everywhere.  Putin and crew or whoever leaked the emails from the DNC probably believed that it was a greater benefit for them if they leaked the DNC emails for obvious reasons.

However, with that said a lot of Democrats seem to completely ignore the actual content that was leaked.  Let's face it, if Clinton wasn't a controversial nominee and the DNC did operate in a non-biased fashion the damage by the leak would have been relatively minimal.  A more competent Democrat wouldn't have had the email controversy happen in the first place which allowed Comey and crew to cause as much damage as they did by re-opening it a few weeks before the election.  I mean by the time she was SOS Clinton should've known better than to open herself up to possible controversy by having a private email with minimal protection from hackers.  A politician like Clinton who was accused of every crime in the book by Republicans since the early 90s should've been prescient enough to deal with using two Blackberrys while on the job rather than try to consolidate everything onto one phone on a private account.  A lot of sales people in Corporate America are used to having a company provided cell phone to do business outside of their regular personal phone, not sure why Clinton thought it was a huge deal for her to have more than one phone (especially if the other phone would have been provided and paid for by the State Department).

So yeah, blaming Russia is a bit ridiculous if the Democratic campaign was a steaming pile of you know what.
