The more obvious strategy by both Russia and Trump is to divide Centrists and Leftists.

That way whoever wins the nomination is weakened because the tent has a big hole in it.

And many are playing the role of --what's that called --useful idiots?

They knew people would find out. They obviously included that in their calculations and I suspect being found out was part of their plan all along.

This is supposed to split up the party. I hope it does not work.

The other side is more united because they rally around simple and distinct concepts ... money, white power, religion, guns. Oh, and screw the government when it works for anyone but ME!

We're a much larger tent with a lot more diverse people and priorities.

I always point out that Democrats have opinions so we argue and rationalize.

Republicans are sheep so they simply follow. That's why soundbites work so well for them.
