If trumps administration gets along with Russia the msm/establishment can fall back on the boogeyman story.

Russians do what they believe is best for Russia, not the rest of the Globe under Obama and Clinton Globalism.
The communist rule over Russia ( as bad as it was) was actually a savior for them, particularly when put into the WWII context.
But that's not the point. Even though Russians have their own "screws loose," in spite of "being proud people" and all, it WAS A BIG MISTAKE ( if not to say lethal) to not to let them to recover from all the mistakes they made during the Soviet rule and to let them have their socialist-style capitalism, the kind Europeans have, since this would have served their national interests. An attempt to remove Russians from the world stage as viable competitor was the worst mistake Clintons ever made.
The world would have been better off in terms of security today, if Russia and the US would have been in friendly competition by now ( as capitalism intends.) There would be full cooperation regarding Islamic threat - that's for sure.

But no, let's focus on Obama's diplomacy while fighting off an anti-Russia wave from the Right spurred on by Mitt Romney.

Hmm.

Nope. But if it makes you feel better about Hillary's loss to believe so, then so be it.

Russia did donate to the Clintons via paying Bill over $500,000 for a speech there and immediately getting Hillary and the State dept to give them access to a third of America's uranium.

Soon you'll have to find another made up enemy of the U.S. to cry about. It looks like Russia and the U.S. may actually work together and at least be cordial to each other in the near future.
Perhaps you can take up hating Iran. They seem to hate us far more than Russia.

Much more plausible than 10,000 Russians coming to the USA to change votes.

If Putin REALLY Wanted To Influence US Elections, He'd Do THIS | The Federalist Papers

Hilarious, but true.

Oh yes. One thing you have to say about the Clinton's is that they didn't care where the money was coming from as long as it was coming.

I think it's funny how communistic American liberals don't like commie Russia now.
Agree -- too bad conservatives don't have good comedians because there is so much comedic material to go after liberals on.
