Nobody goes to Clinton rallies. Perhaps if she charged a couple of hundred thousand for admission more people would go. Her “no-fly” zones in Syria mean war with Russia. Maybe we will be at war before that. Biden has announced a covert (don’t tell anybody) cyber attack of Russia. Those intel people (if they actually exit) are simply mouthpieces for the Obama administration.
I believe Putin would prefer Trump for the same reason the Soviet leadership preferred dealing with Reagan over Carter.
Reagan was a tough negotiator, but his word was good and you knew where you stood. Carter was inconsistent and vacillating.
