did it, from British point of view but connects dots with the global mobsters and Trump and Co. and how they used data/technology /media and most certainly still are:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/07/the-great-british-brexit-robbery-hijacked-democracy?CMP=share_btn_tw

A shadowy global operation involving big data, billionaire friends of Trump and the disparate forces of the Leave campaign influenced the result of the EU referendum. As Britain heads to the polls again, is our electoral process still fit for purpose?

It also reveals a critical and gaping hole in the political debate in Britain. Because what is happening in America and what is happening in Britain are entwined. Brexit and Trump are entwined. The Trump administration’s links to Russia and Britain are entwined. And Cambridge Analytica is one point of focus through which we can see all these relationships in play; it also reveals the elephant in the room as we hurtle into a general election: Britain tying its future to an America that is being remade - in a radical and alarming way - by Trump.

There are three strands to this story. How the foundations of an authoritarian surveillance state are being laid in the US. How British democracy was subverted through a covert, far-reaching plan of coordination enabled by a US billionaire. And how we are in the midst of a massive land grab for power by billionaires via our data. Data which is being silently amassed, harvested and stored. Whoever owns this data owns the future.

My entry point into this story began, as so many things do, with a late-night Google. Last December, I took an unsettling tumble into a wormhole of Google autocomplete suggestions that ended with “did the holocaust happen”. And an entire page of results that claimed it didn’t.

The media broke themselves over her head. Such a disservice.

her from winning - but I think she should also consider that the Repugs were colluding with Trump and his merry men to take her down.

Trump was close to the RNC during that time and ultimately I believe that Rence Priebus was rewarded for helping Trump - by Trump hiring him on as his Chief of Staff.

One has to also consider the role that Mitch McConnell played in blocking SCOTUS nomination of Obama. He was rewarded by Trump giving his wife a job.

Thanks for the link. MSNBC cut away when she was explaining how to win back the House, and she said she won several GOP districts, some in California like Darrell Issas. She is so formidable. This is a must-see on so many topics.
