If Russia will interfere in 2020, it's not crazy to think they'd try to split the Democratic vote

by getting one of our own to run as a third party candidate.

And if that’s a possibility, why is it so hard to accept that a candidate whom they’ve actively supported, who won’t disavow that support, who uses Trump’s talking points to go after the right wing’s ultimate boogeywoman and regularly accuses the Democratic Party of “rigging” elections is the person they have their eyes on?

If the Russians are targeting us through the party, how else would they do it and what evidence have we seen that they’re doing it this other way. If that’s not what they have in mind, how else to explain their interest in one and only one Dem in the field?

Russians are indiscriminate in who they promote and target. You better believe they will try to disrupt the Democratic Party.
