I always thought Putin wanted Hillary to lose just for the fact that he knows she is a sociopath and didn’t want her in charge of nuclear weapons and a military.
Anyone with two functioning neurons would prefer Trump as President over hellary......
The Russians are in the slow and patient process of basically restoring the evil empire that was the Soviet Union. Only this time it will include positions in the valuable/strategic Middle East. There is no way in Hades that Putin would have wanted Trump to win, when everyone knows the lefty dems are the party who seeks to decimate our military, and also hand them (the Russians) whatever they want in terms of key things as missile defense and nukes. Meanwhile, Trump had pledged to significantly *strengthen* the military. When a brilliant 'chess player' like KGB/FSB Putin says something, you can almost rest assured he means the opposite. The Russians are masters of deception.
