What many Russians, but few Americans, know is that 20 years before Russia tried to swing an American presidential election, America tried to swing a presidential election in Russia. The year was 1996. Boris Yeltsin was seeking a second term, and Bill Clinton desperately wanted to help. “I want this guy to win so bad,” he told Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, “it hurts.”
Clinton liked Yeltsin personally. He considered him Russia’s best hope for embracing democracy and capitalism. And he appreciated Yeltsin’s acquiescence during nato’s march eastward, into the former Soviet bloc.
Unfortunately for Clinton, ordinary Russians appreciated their leader far less. Yeltsin’s “shock-therapy” economic reforms had reduced the government’s safety net, and produced a spike in unemployment and inflation. Between 1990 and 1994, the average life expectancy among Russian men had dropped by an astonishing six years. When Yeltsin began his reelection campaign in January 1996, his approval rating stood at 6 percent, lower than Stalin’s.
So the Clinton administration sprang into action. It lobbied the International Monetary Fund to give Russia a $10 billion loan, some of which Yeltsin distributed to woo voters. Upon arriving in a given city, he often announced, “My pockets are full.”
Russia has tried to interfere in elections for "years," Democratic senator says

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota), who just returned from a trip to Eastern Europe, said Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election goes far beyond Election Day here at home -- that it’s something Russia has been doing around the world for “years.”
“This isn’t just about one cyber-hacking incident in America, this is not just about one political party, one candidate,” she told CBSN’s Elaine Quijano in an interview for CBSN’s new daily political show “Red & Blue.” “It isn’t even about one country, it’s a common modus operandi they’ve been using for years.”
The Republicans and those supporting the current administration in the upcoming election give the Loons too much air time.
Just ignore them and allow them to continue to be stupid and delusional.
