All that work to figure out trump has a 9-5 guy talking to a russian bank's 9-5 guy. hot damn thats dedication.
You'd think Russia would pick someone a little more convincing for their Manchurian candidate.
What if Trump is the unsung hero here? Trying to throw the election before he becomes a puppet of Russia because of that orgy video?
Or Trump is the distraction and Clinton is the real plant
If Russia is involved in Trump (if), it's probably more an attempt to destabilize America and damage its democracy than actually win the presidency.
Funny enough, thats brought up a few times in a new article by Cracked of all placesQuote:

This is what I'd expect from Russia, rather than an actual shot at getting their puppet in. Still, overall sounds like a very big "if".Quote:

We can destabilize the US and damage democracy all by ourselves, thankyouverymuch. :DQuote:

It's not like a President Trump could actually DO the things Candidate Trump promises. :rolleyes:
Trump will disrupt wall street; Clinton will not.Quote:

Putin doesn't give a crap who's POTUS. But he probably would like to see us have internal struggles that cripple our international status and influence.Quote:

Political memory is short and very hazy. Whoever's the incumbent president in 2020 will be much easier to attack on the basis of recent foreign policy actions with real or apparent negative consequences.

More evidence of Stein sticking to Kremlin-approved talking points.
