I still have not had one liberal (including boogie crying) tell me why Russia would legitimately want Trump to be president. They just follow the media like sheep without even taking a step back and questioning why Russia would want Trump as president. As gut pointed out, Putin would prefer creating chaos. The media and people like boogie have fallen for it for nearly 4 years now. The 1980s called. They want their policy back.
Also congrats to the dems for embracing full on socialism after denying it for all these years. Inb4 someone tells me Bernie is a "democratic socialist."

I can’t imagine the mental gymnastics it takes to vote for that kook.

I don't know why except Trump is a known entity. I don't doubt the Russians have tried and would try to interfere in US elections. Who knows their reasons. Russia is and has always been an enigma.
US intelligence was the source of insight on Russian interference, not the Big Bad Media.

Annnnd it still stands. Not one liberal can tell me why Russia would want Trump as president.

Unless someone works for the Russians, how would they know the reason for this?

You just made his point about spewing media talking points without any evidence

None of us on here - an Ohio sports forum - are privy to the inner workings of Putin's government. You are included in that. Our intelligence services have evidence Russia meddled. I don't know why they did it and you don't either. I do trust the evidence our intelligence found and continues to find. The Big Bad Media (which you seem obsessed by with your Limbaugh terminology) have nothing to do with it.

I don't know. You're the one who referred to Trump as Putin's lapdog, yet you can't answer a simple question. You're so sure of him being Putin's lapdog, but you can't come up with one reason why he would be his lapdog? Thanks for proving my point.

If you call yourself a Democratic Socialist in that group, you're actually a communist.
And it's hilarious how "the millionaires and billionaires" has become just "the billionaires". Plus, if you got rich off a book then that's ok. Education should be free, but your book costs money!

I don’t know if it was so much about wanting Trump as not wanting Hillary. It’s pretty obvious Trump had a more affectionate side to Russia and Hillary who was very hawkish to Russia. I’m sure the Kremlin knew foreign policy would be more favorable to them under Trump than Hillary.

Her "reset button" was hawkish?!?
It's obviously flown under the radar because it doesn't support the narrative, but immediately after Trump was elected the Russian bots started running a bunch of anti-Trump, collusion, etc... stories. I thought I saw something like all the "Russia interference" on Facebook and the like amounted to about $150k in ad buys. Fixing an election for $150k - maybe we SHOULD outsource our govt to Russia!
And, let's not forget, the infamous Dossier ultimately had Russian assets as it's sources. So Russia had all it's bases covered, and regardless of who won the loser was going to cry foul.

"They (US intelligence) said it was Russia. I don't see why it would be. He (Putin) said it wasn't. He was very strong in his denial.". All said standing next to Putin. A strong leader would have given the benefit of the doubt to his own country until he knew the facts. He was intimidated by the person in his presence.

You seem to be the king of anecdotes?
I guess we’ll forget about the rest of the history like when Putin and the Kremlin blamed Hillary for anti government protests when she was speaking out against him.

Huh? Allow me to refresh your memory...

You’re pretty solid at writing/speaking a lot of words, without answering a very simple question. Have you tried running for office?

You and I can run together.

Socialist policies came on pretty strong during the New Deal. We've been subject to many for a long time.
Should be interesting to see how old Turdie Sanders spins his recent praise of the Castro regime. Probably just flushed any chance he had of winning Florida down the drain.

Terrible idea. Even with context, it's not a good look. Probably a lot of anti-Castro Cubans in FL will vote for Trump anyway. Still, a bad look for sure.
