What is the obsession with Russia? These people are just not mentally stable.

“What is the obsession with Russia?”

Hillary decided the Russian story was what they were going with, and nobody wants to cross Hilary, so they are just running with it.

Because it certainly can’t be that Hillary was a terrible candidate. Must be the Russians!

What a difference one little election makes to the Left's worldview. Real that they mercilessly mocked Romney in 2012 for calling Russia a geo-political threat to the US.

When Romney made his statement in 2012, Democrats pounced, including President Barack Obama. During a debate, Obama said, “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back.”

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, “The statements that Governor Romney makes show little understanding of what is actually going on in the 21st century.” “He is not up to date,” Albright continued, “and that is a very dangerous aspect. That’s just an example of his 20th century approach to 21st century issues.”

Hilary said, "It’s somewhat dated to be looking backwards,” playing off President Obama’s remarks that Romney was stuck in a “Cold War mind warp.” (She then, during the same interview, goes on to compare the Russians to Nazis... but of course, nobody bothered to point out her glaring self-contradiction.)

VP Joel Biden said that Romney belonged to “a small group of Cold War holdovers.”

Secretary of State John Kerry said, “Mitt Romney talks like he’s only seen Russia by watching ‘Rocky IV,’” he said.

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and Rachael Maddow both mocked Romney, claiming he was merely trying to copy Ronald Reagan.
“He read about Reagan’s private, outside-the-CIA cabal of team-B zealots who were telling him that Russia had all the stuff they didn’t have so he could justify a giant defense budget,” Maddow said.
“I don’t know what decade this guy’s living in,” Matthews said. “Is he trying to play Ronald Reagan here, or what?”
