Now, that wasn't so hard was it?
Even if it is difficult to quantify how effective (how many votes cast/changed/discouraged) these political ads are, we know that in general they are beneficial in electing a candidate. Otherwise the money and effort would not be spent, by anyone, the Russians included.
So we have no way knowing, with any certainty whether the Russian operation of 2016 was decisive or not. We do know (now) that they are trying it again and the beneficiary (Trump) is trying his worst to keep a lid on it. Of course, if he were any normal president, his actions and motives would be otherwise. [Post edited by Chuck Taylor at 02/21/2020 3:31PM]
