From former GOP hero Michael Hayden - Trump is at best a dupe, and at worst, something more sinister: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...a42ffe-a1d5-11e6-8d63-3e0a660f1f04_story.html
The reason why I posted the above is that when the allusion to "useful fools/idiots" is made, most of the BBS' most prominent Trump voters, most of whom tend be more downscale and less well-read, like @Space Ghost, @Cohete Rojo @Granville and @ipaman, they tend to say "Nah uh, you're the useful idiot cause HILLARY", without realizing that the term has a specific meaning in the context of being a dupe for Russian espionage. I'm not really much of a Russophile myself, but I might start using "polezni durak" in order to make myself sound smart and bolster my self-esteem.
Have you seen the Russian economy lately? Obama and his sanctions against Putin have wrecked it. Putin has been horribly set back by Obama. I'm not sure why you would think he's their best seller.

My comment was directed towards CometsWin remarks toward Trump Supporters which I think is unfair I didn't vote for him either but I haven't seen the contempt from him for his supporters like we see with Hillarys camp and hers.
As I mentioned in the main Trump thread, nobody seems to mention that Melania was born and bred on Soviet propaganda until -- of all things -- moving to the US, where -- what do you know -- she flattered and seduced America's favorite blowhard. Wonder what the key word is that will spring her into preprogrammed action? Hope it's not "Yuge!" or "Bigly!"
It's predictable that you'd post an article that criticizes Trump for not blaming Russia for the Wikileaks hacks when we have now been told it's 99% sure that Clintons own emails were hacked by 5 different countries. You fall for propaganda from a campaign who knows you are stupid enough to do so.
http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trum...ary-clinton-united-states-europe-516895?rx=us There is a lot about how Russia is playing Trump that is disconcerting. Tribalism in party identity shouldn't cloud these facts.
^Observe, gentleman. A Republican Never-Trumper, CIA director, Michael Hayden, writes a long article chronicling Trump as either a witting participant in Russian espionage or, more likely, due to his utter stupidity, a witless dupe. Take your pick, it's largely irrelevant because the policy consequences are the same. Trump's pro-Russian policies aren't really in dispute, nor is Russian attempts to intervene on his behalf. In response, a Republican who also purports to be a Never-Trumper, @Granville - shows up - to discuss the issue? Nope, to be a polezni durak and share his THOUGHTS on HRC, to totally blow the allusion, and which are entirely irrlevant @Granville - on Wednesday I will be happy to have voted for my main b**** Hill, and you will be sad because Putin's b**** Trump will have helped your side to failure (despite the fact that you voted for him ~ we all know that you and @Space Ghost and @Cohete Rojo and the rest of the downscale whites really are Trump voters who pretend otherwise)...again. It's better to be on the side of the b****, than to have been made one, by Putin.
I think it's a stretch to believe that just because Russia wants Trump, they hold him in contempt/playing him as a fool but it's a certainty that they do hold Obama/Clinton in contempt. The premise for Russia being evil is missing yet the Dems have played them out to be the big boogeyman all through this administration. Before Obama took over, Russia was actually heading in the same direction as Europe. Iirc, the first row between Russia and Obama was about gays during the Olympics. I'm willing to bet they just don't want Clinton in than having a real opinion on Trump.
