I just realized that the ideal Russian ploy at this stage is over the next few month to reverse the polarity of their manipulation and to start supporting Sanders to win the nomination and election. They have pretty much compromised the GOP completely, so now time to play games with the other party and finish tearing the edifice down. And the Bernie-bro compliment will swallow this stuff wholeheartedly while I also suspect that the Sanders campaign will also be Trump-ish enough in trying to gain power to look the other way and take whatever they are given.
