Funny, you think that -that's- what cost her the election...still? Well, good on ya, comrade..for maintaining the Party line. The russian beef is strong. 
You foget the details but you're sure they're damning. Reminds me of about 46% of the american electorate.
All ribbing aside, the fact that the deciding vote in our last presidential election was, apparently, Putins...probably makes it such that the description of america destroying itself from within, insomuch as we may be, at least slightly innaccurate..though, as another poster pointed out in another thread - it took a willing candidate.
There have -always- been people willing to vote for such candidates, against their own interests, even and perhaps even -especially- in times of our greatest prosperity. What made this instance different?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
