Liz Peek: Ten reasons why Putin will likely oppose Trump in 2020 -- What will Democrats do then?
Faux News Opinion ^ | May 6, 2019 | Liz Peek

Democrats continue to howl about Russian interference in our elections, and rightly so. But will they be quite so worked up if Putin chooses to oppose Trump in 2020, and backs their candidate instead?

For many reasons, Russia’s president is likely to want a Democrat in the Oval Office. Here are ten:

1. A strong U.S. economy undermines Russia’s long-standing efforts to destabilize the U.S. The GOP tax cuts and reduced regulation have led to record-low unemployment and rising wages, not exactly fertile ground in which to sow discord. Democrats can argue otherwise, but it is a fact that President Trump’s election ushered in a significant surge in business and consumer confidence, which has led to increased spending as well as higher corporate investment and a welcome rise in productivity. Under President Obama, business executives held back, concerned at the onslaught of regulations and the White House’s overall hostility to the private sector.

I’m sure that the Russians wanted Hillary Clinton to win since they had already gotten her to sign off on the uranium deal, plus they had given her a $145 MILLION payoff already. They had the goods on her, they knew, she knew it, and they would have exploited that to the maximum.

Then Trump will be accused of alienating our allies and endangering world peace.

They won't change a thing -- the Demagogic Party will continue to support and to collude with Putin, and with drug cartels, jihadists, the Chinese, and anyone else who'll slip them envelopes of cash.

so, let me get this straight.... Trump should win hands down,

therefore Putin will do all he can to oppose him winning.

Yeah, another smart wiz kid prediction.

This is precisely why Putin will go all out to support Trump, because he knows to oppose him will bring nothing good,

and perhaps by supporting him, Trump just might be less likely to oppose Putin....

It’s like when John Kennedy called Mayor Daly the night before he won, to congratulate him.

Trump likes the allocades...and I believe that he’s for making the World Great...

In a Capitalist society of course.

If there was going to be collusion Putin should have run with Hillary.

I’m sure Russia would have wanted Hillary to win in 2016 so they could blackmail her with her 33,000 deleted emails.

No doubt, which is why the Russia collusion crap is such nonsense.

I firmly believe we would be at war with Russia if Hillary was POTUS. To much money to be made in war. A nice conventional war in the Crimea or Syria.

They’ll claim Putin supported him, like they did when Putin colluded with the Democrats in 2016.

China will be the one to watch. They will spend Billions to undermine and defeat him.
