FACE THE NATION: 18 February 2018.

CBS' Nancy Cordes with Team hildebeest Campaign Chairman, John Podesta about Mueller's Friday indictments.



JOHN PODESTA: Well, look, this was one part of a, of a complex, active interference in the measures... They were pushing votes, just to give one example, to Jill Stein. Her vote in Michigan, in Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin was greater than the gap between Donald Trump and hildebeest in those states. So you can't prove that it did affect the outcome, but it certainly seems likely that it had some impact.

NANCY CORDES: But it does beg the question, how is it that these Russian operatives knew to focus on purple states like Michigan and Wisconsin, and your campaign didn't?

JOHN PODESTA: Well, of course, [sputter, sputter] we spent a lot of time, energy, and effort [sputter, sputter] in all those states.

NANCY CORDES: hildebeest, herself, did not spend much time in those states.

JOHN PODESTA: We, you know, we had [sputter, sputter] -- Tim Kaine was there, [sputter, sputter] Odumbo was in -- and she spent enormous time in Pennsylvania and Michigan.

I seriously think that any influence by the Russians would have focused on the Republican primary.

I think everyone's opinion of Clinton and Trump were solidified well before the general election. Furthermore, I don't think any meddling would have affected anyone's opinion abut those two .

For example,

IBH, even before 2015, was there a snowballs chance of you voting on a democrat?

If Trump were not to run, would you mind saying which republican you were leaning towards?

Wow! That story is bigger than 13 indicted Russians for interference in a US Election, The Indictments of The National Security Advisor to the President, the indictment of Trumps Campain Manager Paul Manafort, the indictment of Foreign policy advisors George Popadopalous, and Carter Page, Donald Jr lying to the feds about meeting with the Russians, The attorney General of the US rcusing himself from the Russian probe, ( due to conflict of interest and fear of pergury)

However, there might be something to Podesta's claim that the Russians encouraged dim-retards to vote for Stein rather than hildebeest; thus, allowing Trump to garner the margin of victory he needed to take Michigan and Wisconsin's Electoral Votes.

For example,

IBH, even before 2015, was there a snowballs chance of you voting on a democrat? Wrong! I could have voted for Webb, but never for hildebeest.

I was against a Bush dynasty and didn't like Jindal, but the two Republicans I genuinely detested were Kasich and Graham. Graham's voting record on veteran's issues is despicable, and Kasich is a political slime-ball of the first magnitude, e.g., Kasich took down his pro-Second Amendment web page last week.

A (acronym) RINO is a Republican In Name Only.

So...is Webb an African mammal, as suggested....or do you happen to use the same model (dick-tation device) as StandInShit does? Well, I'm gonna have to rule out the latter since you also misspelled the word, democratic.

What point are you trying to make, other than to point out spelling errors?

And I'm not saying that being a Rino or Dino is a bad thing, necessarily. Just that they differ from their parties on a few main platform issues.
