Give me a reason they would prefer Trump to Hillary


Hillary comes out of the traditional ("establishment") foreign policy tradition, was a supporter of Russian sanctions for frickery in Ukraine and Crimea, a full supporter of the NATO alliance and mission of checking Russia in Eastern Europe, and a supporter of international institutions that promote democracy, all of which Putin hates. Trump, on the other hand, promoted an "America First" foreign policy that questioned NATO's mission didn't give full support for article 5. He's not a supporter of promoting international democracy. And then there's Trump's financial connections to Russia, suspicious loans through noted Russian-money-laundering banks. Then there's just the character of Trump. If you want to undermine democracy in a place, what better way to get at it than promote a President with authoritarian tendencies?

You mean the establishment that cancelled our missile shield in Poland simply because Russia asked?

Thats just good policy. Whether or not Russia likes it is completely irrelevant. So if Russia want to to support policy that’s good for the United States then that’s their business.
