...in Trump's favor

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-election-exclusive-idUSKBN17L2N3?il=0

The first Russian institute document was a strategy paper written last June that circulated at the highest levels of the Russian government but was not addressed to any specific individuals.

It recommended the Kremlin launch a propaganda campaign on social media and Russian state-backed global news outlets to encourage U.S. voters to elect a president who would take a softer line toward Russia than the administration of then-President Barack Obama, the seven officials said.

A second institute document, drafted in October and distributed in the same way, warned that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was likely to win the election. For that reason, it argued, it was better for Russia to end its pro-Trump propaganda and instead intensify its messaging about voter fraud to undermine the U.S. electoral system’s legitimacy and damage Clinton’s reputation in an effort to undermine her presidency, the seven officials said.


Remember that time around the debates in October that Trump started going off about how the election was "rigged"?

Is there really any need to be passive-aggressive about Trump's hypocrisy at this point?

It helps when they had support from a major political party.

Russia is a dictator's cult while America is a polarized bureaucracy.

Things simply happen much faster in Russia because everyone loves their leader and everyone agrees on everything (and anyone important who dissents gets "silenced"). Meanwhile in America half the country hates the other half and political beliefs are divided to the point where one party can control all three branches of government but still not pass any bills due to internal disagreements.

"But Russia!"

There is a whole hell of a lot of Russia-scented smoke coming from the Trump administration. You know what they say about smoke and fire, I'm sure.

Sad that the only person in the GOP who seems to care is John McCain. :/ What a bunch of cucks.

McCain makes a few flippant remarks every now and then about how dissatisfied he is, then votes in Trump's favor on everything anyway. What a maverick.

It's easier to hack a system than it is to make a system that is immune to hacks.

But what is this story really saying? Russia tried to undermine the elections? We've know that for a while now.

As he very well should be, that was a downright despicable remark.
