The Russian Mastermind behind Trump's "Win"
The Russians spent just 0.05 percent as much on Facebook ads as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump’s campaigns combined in the run-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, yet still reached a massive audience.The Russians got a good return on their money if they actually influenced the election.

Personally, I think the Republicans should be pointing out what really led to Hillary Clinton "losing" the election: the electoral college and how screwed up the US system of elections happens to be.
The problem with that is that it also blows back on the Republicans.
Anyway, don't expect too much serious discussion of what happened in this last election since the duopoly is happy with their lock on the political process.
