    Oh, no is Bernie the most popular Democratic presidential candidate because Russia is boosting him up? Or, is that just a big coincidence? I can't imagine what help Russia is giving to Bernie...

    Well this puts a dent in the DNC hoax machine that Russia wants Trump re-elected.

    If the Russian want Trump to win, no better way that to put Crazy Bernie up against him. It's pure genius!

    The DNC is just trying to hurt Bernie by playing the Russia card. There seem to be an inordinate amount of Russia cards in their deck. Odd.

    I know and this after most of our leftists spent all day yesterday talking about how EVIL Trump is because maybe Putin wants Trump to be re-elected. This is going to put a momentary crimp in the Blame Trump Express while our leftists struggle to tell us how it is perfectly fine that Putin now supports Bernie; that somehow it's not Bernie's fault whereas the same situation yesterday was entirely Trump's fault. Got popcorn?

    Gotta hand it to them; although to be fair to Trump, it would be difficult for him to lose against any of the clowns that the DNC are lining up against him. Putin should just save his money.

    Yes, but ever since Hillary and Barack used a KNOWN Russian disinformation dossier on Trump to get a politically partisan investigation launched against his campaign the DNC has understood that the Russians really are their greatest political allies.

    Nothing Bernie can do about it at this point, no collusion whatever. If Bernie becomes president he can hit the Kremlin with cruise missiles to MAKE THEM STOP but which might MAKE THEM FIGHT.

    Trump had the same situation in 2016. No collusion, it was a total HOAX.

    When these swamper seventeen intelligence agencies get political it is best just to ignore the bastards.

    Bernie would probably not arm the Ukranians and certainly not get in another Mideast war. Russia probably has mixed feelings about him, like they do Trump.

    Russians know how to play the long and not so obvious game.

    Pretend to back Bernie to move people towards Trump? Pretend to back Bernie to make people think it's Russian ploy to move people towards Trump which will actually move people back to Bernie?

    Or perhaps it's Clinton money dressed up as rubels to spoil Bernie then Killary will swoop in at the last moment and seize the Dem Nom

    I know; ironic, isn't it? Yesterday our political leftists were indeed all but openly demanding the they "Peach Fory-Fie" again over the THOUGHT that MAYBE Putin wants to get Trump re-elected but today they are all just fine KNOWING for a FACT that Putin really wants to see Bernie Sanders inside the Oval Office. Gasp! It's almost as if the political Left embraces double-standards.

    Both Trump and Bernie have their strong and weak spots on this. I don't mind arming Ukranians (although I, like 99% of Americans, won't give two shits if we stop arming Ukranians). I really don't like Mideast wars, and Trump has already come awful close. And Trump (despite lying about it) supported Iraq in a Howard Stern interview. Bernie was against the war from the start, and voted against it, which wasn't a popular thing to do at the time.

    Since the Russians want us to suffer more than anything else, I think they would prefer Trump. I think they want us in a war with Iran. Geopolitics is a zero-sum game. If we're losing, our enemies are winning. A war with Iran would be a catastrophe. And Russia is an enemy.

    Not at all. Russia believes Sanders is the candidate most likely to win the democratic nomination that Trump can reliably beat. They would have less confidence that Biden or Buttigieg would lose to Trump. And they probably don't believe Warren or Klobuchar can win the democratic primaries anyway despite being even more beatable than Sanders.

    The Russians like Trump, not Sanders. Having Sanders as the Democrat
    nomination will improve Trump's chances of being re-elected.
    I understand that America did "something" to the Russians after the last
    hacking. Wonder what it was.

    If there is one thing I believe it's that Biden would not accept help from the Russians He's been caught yelling at his own supporters as it is.

    A big nothing about a big nothing by a big nothing. As long as the vote is secure, who cares?

    Hillary lost because she’s a shrew, Trump won because he’s shrewd. America lost because our choice were those two. Russia, Ukraine, and the man-in-the-moon? It was nothing they need do.
