I'm not sure that helps the Trump case that much. You don't think it was a combination? Maybe even 80 percent wanting to keep HRC out, and 20 % recognizing that Trump could be manipulated more easily than she?
When you look at their history? No. He would have helped Regan if he were running. You are FOS as usual.
With the protesters accusing Putin of having rigged recent elections, the Russian leader pointed an angry finger at Clinton, who had issued a statement sharply critical of the voting results. āShe said they were dishonest and unfair,ā Putin fumed in public remarks, saying that Clinton gave āa signalā to demonstrators working āwith the support of the U.S. State Departmentā to undermine his power. āWe need to safeguard ourselves from this interference in our internal affairs,ā Putin declared.
Former U.S. officials who worked on Russia policy with Clinton say that Putin was personally stung by Clintonās December 2011 condemnation of Russiaās parliamentary elections, and had his anger communicated directly to President Barack Obama. They say Putin and his advisers are also keenly aware that, even as she executed Obamaās āresetā policy with Russia, Clinton took a harder line toward Moscow than others in the administration. And they say Putin sees Clinton as a forceful proponent of āregime changeā policies that the Russian leader considers a grave threat to his own survival.
āHe was very upset [with Clinton] and continued to be for the rest of the time that I was in government,ā said Michael McFaul, who served as the top Russia official in Obamaās national security council from 2009 to December 2011 and then was U.S. ambassador to Moscow until early 2014. āOne could speculate that this is his moment for payback.ā
But its far more fun for you to pretend to be
Independent and run around shrieking āoh he's clearly compromised.ā
