You're right, it was not Russia that lost Mrs. Clinton the election. Despite the Russians best efforts, almost three million more people voted for Mrs. Clinton than Mr. Trump. What lost Mrs Clinton the election was an antiquated system of choosing the US president: a system that was written into The Constitution largely because of a belief that educated electors would be less likely to hand the reins of power to an unqualified demagogue than would direct election by the unwashed masses. Worked real well, huh?
