The real election victim

Sitting under a beautiful sky, swinging to and fro in my hammock, I began to reflect on the investigations going on in Washington regarding alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and those nasty Russians.

There was collusion in the 2016 presidential race; not from the Russians but from the Democrats, who denied the nomination to good ole Bernie Sanders. While there is yet no evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russians, there is plenty to convict the Democratic National Committee. Where were the Russians when Sanders needed help? After all, he spent his honeymoon in Russia. So bigly sad.
