The fact that you believe what you are writing only proves how effective the Russian campaign was. In fact, Clinton and Obama were the two most popular political figures in America from 2008 - 2015. Hands down. Clinton was actually outpolling her boss for much of that time. 1/

Hillary Clinton's approval did not fall below 50% until September of 2015.

And it only fell to those levels because Russian bots had began deploying misinformation about Clinton all over social media in early 2014.

@dhegertz1

The idea that Hillary Clinton was always unpopular is a complete myth. There is no polling data to back up that claim.

In June of 2014 Hillary Clinton was beating every single perspective Republican candidate in head to head match polling by large margins.
@dhegertz1

What do you think the bullshit server story was about? Or do you think that was legit too?

The world had already been notified (and every single person in DC already knew anyway) of the existence of the server in 2013 after Guccifer's Blumenthal hack in March.
@dhegertz1

But no one complained then because it had not been against the rules at the time. But the Republicans needed to knock her down a few notches and so Trey Gowdy trumpeted the "discovery" of the server in March of 2015 as part of the Benghazi investigation.

@dhegertz1

Why in March of 2015? Because Republicans learned that Clinton would announce her bid for a second run in April. Gowdy pushed a fraudulent investigation into the spotlight to step on Clinton';s announcement which came three weeks later.

So, now I am blocked.

Thanks @dhegertz1 that was fun.
