Trump Denies Russia Helping Him Get Elected. Asks "Wouldn't Putin Prefer Bernie? The Guy Who..."

The guy who honeymooned in the Soviet Union?"

Uh...NO, because Putin is neither a socialist NOR a communist. He's a fellow kleptocrat like you, and would prefer a man of the same Party be President. That would be the Party of corrupt politicians who cheat to get into office, use thuggery, nepotism, and cronyism to stay in power, and once in office, make themselves rich through self-dealing, and looting the public treasury.

I also find it very curious how Trump, Fox News, and Putin's FSB/KGB all started boosting Bernie Sanders at the same time. Gosh, if I didn't know better, I'd say Putin and Trump are coordinating their strategy.

He knows that Putin wants Bernie in order to get Trump re-elected, so with all the subtlety of a trash compactor he’s going “don’t throw me into that briar patch.” I’m sure he thinks he’s being super devious.

Perhaps someone that they have been grooming for decades. Someone who was bought and paid for. If Trump isn't or hasn't been being paid by the Russians to wreck our country, he should have been.
