They already look like sore losers. They'd have blamed the Martians if they could get away with it.
Even figuring in the "3m more votes", Hillary should have walked it by 10s of millions, if she were the Best Candidate Ever.
The Democrats have not really blamed anyone or anything. They have said remarkably little on the Russian hacking and sensibly distanced themselves from the issue, leaving it to the authorities to pursue. There's really no reason for the Democrats to get involved at this stage.
The Democrats are right to stay on the sidelines at the moment and let the investigations take their course.
The only thing about the hacking that's utterly indisputable for now is that SOMEONE hacked the Democrats.

Tbf, she didn't need to be the best candidate ever. She just needed to be... 'somebody else'
Democrats not involved? Seriously?!? Are they just sitting there going "leave it, it's not worth it. We lost fair & square" Are they hell!?!

Yes, that was Donald Trump's advantage over her, too
If they can't find a link to Russia hacking the Democrats - would they then start looking closer to home? or would they focus on China?
If trump never revealed his tax returns and made them public because of an IRS investigation would the IRS release them if the investigation is completed? And if that is a 'fit & proper test' you have to take as a candidate for presidency then surely they should made public at point of entry into the process rather than once you were elected president maybe that has to be part of the FA's requirements in their test for football club ownership too then alt least fans would know what sort of owner they would be getting in charge of their club.
The IRS audit is an excuse, they've been saying from day one that it doesn't stop him from releasing his tax returns.
So it's not the IRS, it's him, he doesn't want to release his returns, for whatever reason. Avoidance, corruption, being skint???
is there not a rule that says something about you have to be able to demonstrate you are a fit and proper person to hold high official positions? In that case Trump is evading. Is he protected as President?
A number of US States are looking at introducing State Laws that would impose a condition on entry to the Presidential Ballot that you have to release your tax returns. If they do this then Trump will have to release his returns before he can get on the ballot in those states for the 2020 Presidential Election

Surely it's nearly 2 years too late to be asking that? The minute he made that awful "I Donald J Trump will impose a ban on Muslims entering this country etc" speech, he should have been dq'd right there.
Did the Russians hack the Republican nomination process too? If not, why not? If so, why no FBI investigation? etc
