Er, not really, if a foreign power directly acted to influence an election through espionage, its a big f**king thing, that's far bigger than Trump or Clinton - Its supposed to be a democracy, anykind of election tampering or subversion is a massive issue, let alone influence by a global power that is a direct rival.

And any relationship between the winner and that foreign power is a significant concern. Its notable that Trump was very happy to speculate on how the election would be rigged against him, but then when actual evidence of potential tampering and subversion is presented, its 'not a thing'.

Sure for some idiots, this is about Clinton lost. But in truth, for any democracy the sanctity of the democratic election process is central to trust and representation.

Now that doesn't mean Trump is responsible or guilty, but the problem doesn't just go away if you do not confront it.

Well I am no hand wringing lefty, though I do question myself from time to to time!!! Trump worries me, I had expected him to calm down when he won the election but the guy is a loose cannon.

He also has incredibly thin skin and he needs to stop overreacting to every little barb. Not a good quality to have in a man leading the western world.

Don't get me wrong, I don't really even like Trump. I don't like Clinton either. I didn't really care a huge amount about American politics, which I do concede is a bit blinkered of me. And also, I don't want to suggest for one second that lefties (a term I ought not to be using having previously poo-pooed the idea of left and right wing politics, but I have now for convenience) are spouting a load of nonsense about what will happen to the world with Trump in charge. But the ones that are are the ones I am laughing at, not people that feel perhaps a little cautious or worried (which sounds like the camp you fall into). I am having a proper old chuckle at the headless chicken reaction of some of the more OTT liberal knicker wetters that's all.

A good point, but I think it's because mainstream media seem to want to paint every single issue with a left-wing/right-wing brush these days, but actually, some things just aren't left vs right issues. I'm not entirely sure of the motives, but it's making having an opinion on something a very tribal affair lately!

It's all a symptom of the liberal/entitlement generation.
They reject all other opinion, they consider themselves superior and they cannot accept the fact that their side lost.
We have seen similar behaviour here with Brexit.

Well the intelligence services of the US, believe that the Russian security services were involved in the hack and provision of material to wiki leaks of the Clinton Emails, which was timed to affect the election. It also seems that Russian hackers were trying to penetrate the security around electronic voting machines.

Bear in mind, that potentially if an American was involved in that hack, its an act of treason by US standards.

Of course that doesn't mean that Trump was involved or conspired, that would need to be proven. Similarly for anyone in his campaign.

I don't see why people think this should be about Trump or Clinton, its about far more important issues.

Things like this must transcend partisan political divides. They're more important than whether your democrat / republican / nutbar fringe fridge door.
