Do you guys think Russia regrets hacking the DNC?

[Cali_Democrat]

Bernie Sanders strongly backed Hillary anyways and now the press is closely examining Trump's ties to Putin and Russia. It's the top story right now. The content of the emails is no longer the top story. The Russian connection is the top story.

Also, Hillary is still the overwhelming favorite to win the election according to the odds makers. Trump would have to win almost every swing state to barely win.

In the likely event that Hillary does become President, she will take a hard line against Russia and Putin for trying the meddle in the election.

I don't think Putin/Russia thought this thing through.

1. One of Putin's hackers left identifiable identify clues

in the hack.

I wonder if he has disappeared in Siberia or somewhere yet?

3. ... or it could have been intentional

We are dealing with narcissistic, sociopathic, megalomaniacs .... would not be surprised if identifiers were intentionally left to be provocative

[workinclasszero]

4. Or maybe to divert attention away from some other actor in this drama?

Hmm....

[etherealtruth]

5. We have entered into the bizarro world

I remain inclined to believe that the Russians leave tiny clues as a big "FU" to the US

[Sheepshank]

2. I think that neither Wikileaks, Trump or Russia are adept at subtelty

between the three of them they were always likely to create the worlds biggest stink bomb, to be noticed by all.

So maybe yes, there are now some regrets. In addition to lacking any political correctness, Trump has an ego that precludes any dialogue filter and he blabs anything his thinks sound like a good Presidential soundbite, where he can claim international dialogue and working relationships.

6. I think Putin is

sitting on his couch at home watching this eating popcorn. Enjoying the show.

11. I don't

I think he thought Trump was smart enough not to blow things up like up.

7. Not yet. Not like there will be consequences. n/t

8. I think Putin went to the races and bet on an ass without a horse.

Trump talks too much. He said he didn't meet Putin, and then he talked about Putin's views of Obama. How would he know this without chatting with Putin over a friendly vodka?

Putin must be having buyer's regret. He should have bought Trump at Costco and returned him.

9. No. There's hundreds of years of history of governments meddling in foreign elections

Hell, the US are practically the grand masters at it. We've.even meddled in Russian politics on a far.larger scale than Putin.

10. If by Russia you mean Putin - then no.

Putin is as big a sociopathic narcissist as Trump is. He is incapable of seeing himself making a mistake. If by Russia you mean the people, they are probably too busy regretting Putin's recent intrusions that have resulted in a chokehold on their economy, thanks if international sanctions.

We need to keep ringing this bell - if we do we kill two birds with one stone. Trump and his BFF Putin.
