OK, so if he isn't a Manchurian candidate, why should I be so concerned that Putin wanted him to win.
As I said, he had a 50/50 shot to favor one over the other...why should I care so much? You are telling me I should question why. I should actually waste time wondering why Putin wanted Trump over Hillary (if in fact he actually did, which isn't actually a fact - it's a belief system, much like religion at this point).
I don't see one reason why I should care.
I guess your concern is that Putin has this magical axe hanging over Trump's head and can bribe Trump into doing his bidding...is that your concern?

Do you find it more interesting, less interesting, or about the same interesting as Bin Laden's support of Obama?

He actually endorsed Trump. It's not up for debate who he wanted to win.
I think it speaks more in volumes to his belief of who he thinks an easier adversary is. I don't think he views Trump as some 4D chess player unlike those around here.

No because your point exists on the premise I supported Obama. I didn't.

Who is Peter Strzok? Very hard to nail down may be an illusion a ghost he may be James Comeys alter ego.
Ive seen two completely different photos of him.
We need CNN investigating this man.

No, the point is that it doesn't matter who our enemies supposedly support.

The question again is why. You keep dodging that. I know why Osama preferred Obama. I also know why Putin prefers Trump. Do you?
Bin Laden had Obama all wrong. Putin seems pretty on the money with Trump so far.
Again though it's becoming far too common to just change the subject around here.

I never dodged anything. I dismiss your lame postings flat out as irrelevant, undeserving of wasting any brain function on. You sound like a desperate liberal. Trump is President. The stock market is way up. Unemployment is down. Tax cuts are coming. We're booming. Try to get a grip on yourself.

Can you provide me some sort of proof of this? A link to a statement of any kind?
Seriously, it's the first I've heard of it. And you'd think that Bin Laden releasing a statement of support for a US presidential candidate would be resounding news, and yet I can't find any reference to it.

I googled it too and found nothing other than Bin Laden wanted Obama killed.

Again I'm not a ****ing liberal and if they are irrelevant why reply.
Putin favored Trump because he perceived him to be "soft" compared to the other candidate. That has largely been confirmed. Trump didn't want to sign on to the Russian Sanctions but honestly had no choice given these investigations and the fact it had massive bi-partisan support.
I give zero ****s about anything else in this post as again its an attempt to change the subject.
