Russian President Vladimir Putin held a press conference on the sidelines of the eighth BRICS summit in Goa on Sunday, October 16. According to him, Russia is not going to influence presidential elections in the US.
“I’d like everyone to calm down — we are not planning to influence the course of the elections in the US,” the president said. When asked about the presidential candidates, Putin said that Hillary Clinton has chosen to take an aggressive stance with accompanying rhetoric in regard to Russia, whereas Donald Trump is calling for cooperation in counter-terrorism. “We do not know what our relations will be like after the elections,” President Putin said, Sputnik reports.
“We don’t know if Donald Trump will carry out his intentions, how far he will go in cooperating with us. Or if Hillary Clinton will put into practice her threats and harsh rhetoric toward Russia. Perhaps, she will soften her stance. But naturally we welcome anyone who is willing to work with us,” he said.
And she described him as a tall blonde guy, which he was definitely not, tall yes. blonde, no.
I want to know where TC was 35 years ago.

Doesn’t bother you wikileaks has revealed that the primary was rigged??
Heh, you obviously haven’t been to Ukraine or Belarus 
It seems you have the typical initial Belgrade hysteria of a Westerner - cheap booze, cheap drugs, cheap delicious food, cheap test and cheap women looking for an American sucker. It passes with repeated visits and you see it’s a veritable shithole.
And he supplies so much material to work with.

People think it’s an easy choice to vote for Clinton over a sexual predator with no impulse control. Unfortunately Clinton is a calculated criminal which to me is worse. I’m glad I don’t live in a swing state and can vote for Johnson and allow me to keep my pristine virtue in tact.

I don’t see how a pay to play politician can be considered ‘hawkish’.

Not really. The Democrat party can use any system to nominate their candidate. They could nominate based on bloodline if they want, it’s a private club more or less. It’s up to their members to hold leadership accountable if they want it changed or switch parties.
The general election is not the primary.
AlrightM: This brings up something that I have not heard discussed anywhere.
In order to avoid what has happened this election year; do you guys think; or have you heard; that the GOP might be considering “Super Delegates” (or some similar mechanism), in their Primary process?
(And I agree with AM. The Parties are private/semi-private/exclusive (for those with power within the party) “clubs” that can nominate people the way they wish).

I would agree had they presented the process as being that way. Due to their dishonesty millions of people wasted their money donating to Sanders

I agree with this.
The point of a party is to nominate someone who they believe best represents their values.
Strictly speaking, the people’s will is supposed to be represented in the general election, not the primaries. If the voters feel that a party’s representative doesn’t reflect their values, then they should go find another candidate to vote for/gather the power necessary to create a new party with its own candidates.
Movements such as these led to some of the great socio-political changes in U.S. history (such as the collapse of the Whig Party and the eventual formation of the Republican Party).

I most definitely agree.
This is one reason why when I see these pundits (just heard one this morning)…say that "Obama “created” Trump…I almost lose it.
First…Trump is as he as always been…and has not changed one-Iota from when he first was in the public spotlight.
And second…he was nominated by GOP voters, not President Obama.
Lol. You’re citing a public speech act by Putin - a former KGB Colonel and Former director of the FSB, one of the Russian security agencies whose computational methods and tools have been identified with high confidence as those behind the leaks - as evidence that Russia is not interfering in American domestic politics? You are so poorly equipped cognitively and intellectually that aren’t capable of recognizing even the most naked propaganda.

The Kremlin and its ilk certainly think so.
Clinton is a hard power Democrat that wishes to maintain and strengthen the pillars of the American made world order that has served the international system so well for the last seventy years. Trump? His policy prescriptions would erode and destroy them.

Ironically enough, the collapse of the Whig party coincided with the rise of a militant anti-immigrant faction within the party.
