even while i am pretty sure, stein and trump aren't paid by the russian intelligence, they are - with or without their consent - tools of the russian counter-narrative and have good connections inside of moscow.
Which is distinct from the far more line that's been both explicitly and implicitly pushed, in much the same fashion as the Obama-Kenya nonsense. Some Republicans flirted with it more openly than others, while others were completely forward about it. Maybe one of the more vocal celebrities pushing the "Trump is a son of Russia!" line will win the Democratic nomination in seven years. Crazier things have happened.
OK why is it that Putin is the
one single major world leader that Trump has not insulted or criticized in any way?
