The bigger problem IMO would be that our intelligence services would be leaking info to the media. That doesn't seem to intelligent. Just saying

The intelligence services are the media. Half of cnns correspondents are former fbi/cia. There’s no daylight between the two

So the November election is really going to be Bernie Sanders vs. Trump barring a miracle at this point, it seems. Wow.

If Bernie wins, this nation is going to be extremely divided.

If Trump wins, this nation will remain extremely divided.

I guess Russia has already won reelection!!

Russia is using our own stupidity against us, and it's working.

I'm not worried about THEM. I'm worried about US. Their whole goal was to cause division. They succeeded. In fact we did most of the work for them. They just needed to give it a few little pushes. If it is Sanders v Trump, which it looks like it will be, we'll have two camps that are both equally convinced that the country will collapse if the other camp wins. That makes Russia happy. Maybe they had a lot to do with that. they nothing at all to do with that. But either way, Putin is smiling. I don't think he cares who wins as long as it's one of those two. So, it looks like Russia has already won the 2020 election.

The return on investment that Putin got for helping Trump get elected in 2016 has definitely paid off for him.

Every time I think that Trump can't go any lower, he proves me wrong. The latest, his claims that the coronavirus is being hyped by the media and Democrats to hurt HIM, is mind-boggling. Shouldn't he be more concerned that the science is suggesting that the risks are real, and that the US and other countries should be preparing for the worst while hoping for the best, rather than what impact the market responses (all over the world, I might add) might have on his short-term political interests? The man just needs to go away.

Accusing members of the Supreme Court of having not having integrity was probably worse. Strange how he never accuses someone's integrity unless they do or say something that is not in his own personal interest.
