The desperation of the Trump attacks is becoming comical.

[Bluestocking]

It’s clear that the U.S. has become a weak shadow of its former self under Obama, but have we declined to the point where the dictator of Russia has the power to choose who our next president will be merely by anointing his favorite candidate with lavish praise?

It’s bad enough that the small number of citizens of Iowa and New Hampshire have inordinate influence over who our presidents will be, but now apparently our future has also become subject to the whims of Vladimir Putin as he assesses who he wants to see in the White House for the next several years.

And of course the best presidential candidate from Putin’s point of view is the one who will best help Russia achieve its goals, not those of the U.S.

It is reverse psychology. Putin knows he can manhandle the pussy Obama and the whore Clinton is simply a graft ridden wretch.He can simply pay her off for any political favor.

Trump doesn’t give a crap and Putin knows he can not stand up to Trump as Trump is unpredictable and will not hesitate to use any tactic to get his way.

‘It’s an adversary who has found a new tool.’

This stupid writer is brain dead! Her analysis is as stupid as she is. There is no bigger tool of Putin than Obama and his State Department first under the Clown Criminal Hillary and now under John Efing Kerry.

BuzzScreed is crap!

I would guess that Putin is deliberately ridiculing Obama this way, basically calling him a pussy. It is humiliating, or would be if liberals were capable of embarrassment. It certainly makes the US look powerless.

Also, Putin probably would prefer a stronger, more decisive person in the WH. Weak and vacillating leaders cause wars by, among other things, inviting aggression.

Europe is a dead duck.

"Trump's antics have made the U.S. the laughing stock of the world, coupled with the idea that his cocky, xenophobic, uninformed pronouncements have revealed the country's true face. Each week brings a new round of the circus, coupled with endless soul searching about what it all means (this week: either it will lead to Weimar America or the end of the Republican Party). This is the sort of chaos and destruction that Putin thrives on. Putin supports Donald Trump because of the threat that Trump poses to the U.S."

The above is exactly why Putin wants Trump as president. There is no way Putin wants Ted Cruz as Cruz would be a stone wall to Putin and no one would pay for that wall or break it down.
