I have still not heard a reasonable explanation WHY Putin cares who our president is. It would be one thing if a candidate said they would destroy Russia or their allies. But from the Russian point of view I see very little difference between Clinton and Trump. Certainly not enough to warrant intervention in the election. Originally Posted by tonyvicksa

Clinton would only do what is best .. for Clinton.
would Putin prefer Trump over Clinton? probably given her and Obama's own meddling in Russian elections. that is not enough to make a strong case Russia at Putin's direction had any direct influence on the election.
