    Hillary Clinton did receive 3 million more votes than Trump out of 147 million who voted. That's like someone getting 3 more votes out of 147 people who voted. Note exactly overwhelming.

    In only a couple counties in CA and NY. They try to make it out like it was all across the country. It wasn’t, they know it and will crow about the popular vote forever. It’s like a someone didn’t place in the olympics complaining that he should get the gold for “effort” even if he came in last. That’s not how you win a gold. :)

    His testimony speaks for itself. Google's bias has manipulated our elections in the past, and will in the future...."on a massive scale"

    Many are using this to justify changing to a popular vote. 3 out of 147 million votes does not even come close to justifying changing the way presidents are elected.

    People should be aware of how they are being manipulated. Only voters can really help protect our democracy by being more vigilant and not trusting everything they hear or read. Voting is a very important right and should be a well researched and thought out process.

    Well, sure, she questioned his study, which I personally haven't read... Figures he would fight back against that...

    But he also didn't backtrack on saying Trump is misinterpreting his results either, so he's saying both politicians are wrong, which shouldn't be a shocker to anybody...

    It's ashame she attacked one of her supporters like that...and she continues to defend the manipulating practices of Google against our Republic.

    His testimony however is quite clear. Seems like he was trying to potentially cover for his choice, Ms. Clinton, but with his citing his testimony in this tweet it's pretty clear what he was saying.

    manipulation on a "massive scale"

    I guess this is better than the "you cannot use Epstein here" comment.

    You can certainly use Epstein to attempt to defend his study and contradict Hillary.... I won't get into that myself, not being super interested, although I've indicated that I think Epstein's general conclusions are bunk..

    You cannot use Epstein to defend Trump's lie, since Epstein already said Trump was wrong..

    All Trump said is what Epstein said to congress.

    Epstein goes further and accuses the Hag of being in Google’s pocket.

    So we should just ignore his testimony that’s repeatedly been provided where he says the manipulation was done on a massive scale?

    Trump was close, which is a rarity for him, but as always, he changes something that makes it completely untrue and makes it sound worse than it was...

    It's his gift...

    Well at least you've backed away from the edge of the cliff from your OP, with all the name calling.

    So you accuse me of lying....but continue to spread lies yourself. First, only posting a portion of a sentence and claiming it is proof of what you claim, when it really proves the exact opposite.....and secondly, trying to claim I said something I never said.

    I never claimed Clinton ordered a stand-down. I said that the investigation proved the Obama Administration attempted to mislead the public by blaming the attack on the video instead of telling the public exactly what killed these men.....a planned terror attack.

    I also said that I did not think there was anything nefarious or neglect about the handling of the attack. It certainly could have been handled much better and many people did drop the ball, but I don't think it was done for political reason. It was just a mission and response that was just FUBAR from the start.

    Whether you are a democrat or a republican you should worry about unelected elites running your country according to their liking.Google, Facebook, Twitter etc...all should be reigned in...They"ve become too powerful.Manipulating population at will.It appears that dems/libs here are ok with being ruled by shady unelected individuals.Sad.

    Indictments for what? It wasn't a criminal investigation. When evidence a crime may have been committed and in fact was with the Clinton gross negligence with classified information it was turned over to the DOJ. We still have an IG investigation into that.

    In the aftermath there was. How do you think it was Susan Rice who was sent out to the Sunday shows to parrot the specious claim it was all about a movie. How did that entire spin become the administration false narrative? They colluded on the matter and conspired to come up with the story. You think it all happened on it's own in a vacuum?

    3 million votes is not like 3 votes, that is millions more American voters wanted Clinton than Trump as President, but Trump still won

    it would be so funny if Trump won the popular vote in 2020.. but still lost
