That Russia is the agent behind Wikileaks' email hacks that have been used as ammunition against Clinton is all but a proven fact (as proven as evolution). Trumplodyte cult's refusal to believe it is due to the snakeoil he sells, and they consume greedily, which destroys the brains ability to comprehend rational ideas. One may wonder why Putin wants a fascist to be president of the United States.
Fascism is the opposite of Communism, so political ideology isn't quite the answer. And Putin does not get along well with Hillary. But he doesn't get along well with President Obama either, and that hasn't stopped furthering his belligerent ways. I think it's because Putin really likes Trump.
Don't get me wrong it's not that he thinks Trump is a great guy, but I imagine he considers Trump very easy to manipulate. Look how easily Trump flares up when challenged either verbally or in a tweet. Add that the oligarchs in Russia are probably on Putin's side and Trump loves to hobnob with such people because he thinks he is one of them Trump will be putty in Putin's hands.
Trump would be President Pinocchio known for his lies and puppet strings.
To stress a couple of President Obama's tags: democracy is on the ballot. Vote, don't boo vote!

President Obama is right, we need to vote; but, I'll go a step further. Trump, and thereby his treasonous agenda, must suffer a humiliating defeat. The message must be loud and clear.
And thank you to President and Ms. Obama for working so hard for all those votes these last few weeks.
