if either or both of these turn out to be the case, then IMO rep. lewis is on firm ground labeling trump's electoral vote victory as illegitimate.
Ok Ray... just suppose that Russian hacking did affect the outcome of the election and in that way put in place what you consider an illegitimate head of state.
How many times and how many countries has the US subverted, assassinated, bombed, invaded, vetoed and sanctioned to put in place the head of state that suits them?
Two wrongs certainly don't make a right, but it does make fertile ground for sanctimony.
Trumps a dud and will get his comeuppance, Hilary is a warmonger and doesn't deserve the reins of power. The US is reaping the penalty from 50 years of short sighted and self serving domestic and foreign policy.
I think the long term future for the US is Balkanisation, hopefully through the ballot box rather than through the American propensity for violence as it is clearly such a divided nation on so many fronts, not just along bi-partisan political lines.
