That is unfortunately something we will never get to know. Trump's election is tainted by both the Russian DNC hack and the FBI letter released immediately befo

  It would have made zero difference, the MSM was dedicated 24/7 to attack Trump on every little detail, remember the locker room talk which was released 3 weeks before the election day? was that a chance do you think? remember the tens of women who came and claimed Trump raped or harassed them within the last 2 weeks before the election? could have any candidate recover from it? and yet Trump won fair and square. The media really showed disdain to the low income people and the DNC were totally confident that changing demographics of america is sufficient to win them any presidential election and simply the struggling people in central america are nothing to them.

  IMO the russian hack did not taint Trump. It tainted Hillary. That said, some people are trying very hard to make this somehow invalids trumps win, tho I actually think it reinforces it. "He wouldn't have won if Russia didn't expose Hillary's flaws" is not exactly the best argument for why Trump shouldn't have won, IMO.

  We can make about as good guessed about the outcome as if the leaked tapes and anonymous sex allegations never was published. As a thought experiment, how would US political landscape look like if it was illegal for news paper to publish articles that imply past criminal behavior in candidates during elections? HC would not have the mail server scandal, and trump would not have the sexual assault scandal. Which side would have benefited more?
