Scary thought...

What if russia's plan is to make sure it's tulsi vs trump, so regardless of which way the 2020 election goes, they'll still be in control of the US?

but it's simply not possible to imagine Tulsi as the Democratic nominee.

So the Russians pick a candidate from a marginal state which neither party cares about in presidential elections and is bouncing around at 1-2% in the polls. Yep, that is a great plan....

now that I think about it, I hope the DNC has a contingency plan for if a fringe candidate who polls at 1% starts running away with the nomination.

I hope that they'd step in to stop the madness and schedule a do-over with all paper ballots.

I'm going to block this entire scenario out of my mind for now.

My opinion is the votes were hacked and that is why they backed Jill. They could have just outright hacked votes for T but a third party clouds the issue.
