Were they like "Hey Trump go spend campaign money in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania because Hillary's ignoring those states and you could win them!"
I just don't sunder stand the HOW Democrats just say it happened but no one ever says HOW or to what extent but they still want to impeached Trump

Actually they might have.
First, a correction, it's common for Republicans to claim that the Clinton campaign "ignored" the rust belt states which Trump flipped. That explanation allows them to portray Trump's victory, which came despite Clinton getting millions more votes, was due to some sort of skill or insight on Trump's part, rather than pure dumb luck. But it's false. The Clinton campaign didn't ignore those states, at least not all of them. They actually spent a decent amount of money in Pennsylvania and held one of their last rallies there.
Now, on to the Russians and collusion. We know that the Russians stole emails from Democrats, that became clear in the 2016 election. But relatively recently we learned that one of the other things that they stole from the DCCC (the organization trying to elect Democrats to Congress) was a whole lot of data, including polls. Now the "maybe" part comes in next. About a month after the DCCC got hacked, the Trump campaign began shifting money into ad buys in the Midwest, areas which had traditionally gone for Democrats. Now maybe this was just their own independent decision. But maybe the Russians passed along polling data to them, data which showed that Democrats might be weak in the Rust Belt.
Russia got illegally obtained documents about the DNC and offered to share them with the Trump campaign, members of whom (including Don Jr.) met with the Russians to review these documents and then lied about it.
Only reason they weren't charged? Apparently it doesn't count as illegal if you're too stupid to know it was illegal, so Junior was off the ol' hook-a-roo.
