I do not consider him a properly elected president. The Russians did attempt to meddle in our election. I am wondering now how many of the Electors were influenced by the Russians. I call it all into question, and FBI Director Comey's shenanigan of announcing further investigations on H. Clinton (though I am no big fan of her) then dropping was no doubt an influence on the elections too.
You honestly think Clinton would have won if it didn't happen? Because I don't.
Her lead in the polls evaporated immediately after the announcement.
As the days towards an election wind down, leads tend to evaporate, and there is still the possibility that a lot of people who were previously unwilling to respond to pollsters with an affirmative "Voting for Trump" were galvanized to actually tell pollsters that they were going to vote for Trump because of the announcement, but the timing of the announcement and her lead evaporating in the polls lines up quite well.
I can't really fault you for not believing it, but I also can't fault someone else for believing Clinton would have won.
Edit: It's not really obvious which part of SecularElf's post you are addressing. But either way, her lead evaporated after wikileaks, and after Comey's announcement. Same logic applies to both.
