1. That's giving Trump to much credit...

The election was stolen by a combination of factors.

The Russian connection was a part of it, the voter suppression was a part of it, the gerrymandering (which contributed to the voter suppression) was a part of it, the liberal talking heads working for Russian television was a part of it.

Trump's part in it was unwitting and small compared to the other factors. He was selected (mostly by a combination of Putin and NBC's 'the Apprentice).

Claiming Trump stole it makes him look much smarter than he is. He's just a puppet.
