Maybe Martians helped Trump win

Editor, Manteca Bulletin,
Since Donald Trump won the presidency, Hillary supporters and liberals like Larry Baca want to find something or someone to blame.
 They have called Trump supporters racists only to find out 209 counties that voted for Barack Obama flipped to Trump.  They have blamed the Electoral College stating the U.S. Constitution needs to be changed.  They blamed the FBI for influencing the election after they previously praised the FBI for not filing charges against Hillary.  They have rallied behind Jill Stein and the Greens to support a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania claiming Russian hackers sabotaged the election without providing an ounce of evidence.
 To their displeasure, Trump actually gained votes.  Hillary and her supporters then said the election was influenced by fake news.  Yet, it was Hillary and the Democrats who supplied many fake news stories including a conspiracy to commit violence and intimidation at Trump events to create the perception that Trump supporters were violent causing the public to be outraged with Trump in an effort to sway and intimidate voters away from supporting Trump. 
So now where do Hillary and her supporters turn to after they have thrown everything they can at the wall to make it stick?  Oh yeah, the Russians did it.  I guess they could not blame Bush for this one. 
After the CIA concluded a secret assessment that Russia interfered collaborating with Wikileaks and the hacked emails from Democrats, the CIA admitted they did not have “specific intelligence” and the FBI also gave a differing account of Russian interference. 
However, for fun, let’s assume Russia did hack the emails.  Why did Obama and Hillary wait so long to act?  Why are they only now complaining after Hillary lost?  And if Hillary was concerned about cyber-security, shouldn’t she have been wiser not to set up a private server knowing she could be hacked?  It was not the Russians that set up her illegal private server or forced her to delete 33,000 emails under subpoena.  It was not the Russians who created the DNC scandals of smoke-filled backroom deals.  It was not the Russians that made Donna Brazil slip debate questions to Hillary Clinton prior to a debate or force Hillary to accept the questions.  The Russians did not force Hillary to lie about Benghazi.  The Russians did not force Hillary to use the Clinton Foundation as a “pay for play” money laundering scheme through her influence as Secretary of State. 
Hmm, wait a minute.  Weren’t many of those donations to the Clinton Foundation from foreign governments?  Wasn’t that foreign money used toward Hillary’s campaign to influence voters in her quest to be queen?  As a matter of fact, Hillary signed off on a deal to give 20% of American uranium in exchange for millions to the Clinton Foundation to none other than the Russians!  So the evidence of the Russians and other foreign government influence directly points to Hillary and the Democrats. 
These were the same Democrats who defended Hillary for having an illegal private server only to now blame the Russians?  Maybe they can blame the election on global warming or tell us Martians were responsible for Trump winning the election.  Why not?  They have tried everything else.
The fact is America did not like Hillary Clinton, her liberal agenda, or her lies to the American people. Sooner or later, they will run out of people, corporations, nations and world leaders to blame.
