18. Our intelligence services say Putin wants to unite LW populists

and other dissidents with Trump's populist right to permanently overthrow the majority who elected Obama twice and Hillary once. Gabbard's "weirdly contrived" mix just happens to have something for everyone Putin's trying to pull together. It might be that she'd just be a first step, with another leader taking over later, Trump or ? or LW, as long as we were smashed and the far right ascendant.

And even without that little scheme, with the backing of the enormous forces of our enemies foreign and domestic, anyone can be built into a threat in this era when our nation is won and lost by razor-thin margins. They might find it best to run me with a bag over my head (not another old blonde?!), but I'm sure they could make me into a usable third-party leader. Just look at that whackjob Stein.

Hillary's warning provides more form to what we already knew was happening. I'm absolutely sure she has far more solid information from her connections than she's revealing.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
