Bernie Sanders handily won the Nevada Democratic caucus on Saturday — or did he? Widespread reports are suggesting that Russian interference Part 2 in the 2020 election is already at play along with a bit of Trump tampering.

With a powerful base of young voters and progressives. Bernie Sanders (who regularly refers to himself as a democratic socialist) won the popular vote in Iowa, the New Hampshire primary, and now the Nevada caucuses. Interestingly, Joe Biden (who needed a life-saving jolt to revive his struggling campaign) came in 2nd place. However, how much of Sanders’ win can be attributed to Democrats really feeling “the Bern” this time around and how much can be attributed to good old-fashioned Russian interference and Trump tampering?

RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE
According to The New York Times, intelligence officials delivered the stark warning to House lawmakers last week that Russia was already interfering in the 2020 campaign in order to help get Donald Trump re-elected. This was not much of a surprise to the mostly Democratic political leaders since Trump has been a gift to Putin by refusing to acknowledge Russian interference in the US election process. Trump has long accused the intelligence community of engaging in a “deep state” conspiracy designed to undermine the validity of his election via their admission that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
As expected, this new report angered ‘The Donald’ and prompted him to berate Joseph Maguire, the outgoing acting director of national intelligence, for allowing the briefing to ever take place.
Interestingly, the Bernie Sanders campaign was also briefed on suspected Russian interference in order to influence the US election by helping him win the Democratic nomination. Russia’s belief is that Sanders is the easiest candidate for Trump to beat.

TRUMP TAMPERING
In order to help himself win reelection by any means necessary, Donald Trump has been encouraging his legions of fanatics to “cheat” by crossing party affiliations during the primary process in order to “vote for the weakest candidate possible of the Democrats” who would be easiest for him to beat.
Hmmm… sounds like the Russian plan, huh?
In Nevada, Chuck Muth, a GOP activist, made headlines by admitting that he and other “Trumpies” re-registered as Democrats in order to vote for Bernie Sanders and help him win their state caucus.
Because Nevada rules allow for same-day registration, at least 10,000 new voters were said to have signed up as Democrats during 4 days of early voting. Now, party leaders are wondering if this rush of new voters are previously unregistered residents who were eager to become Democrats, or a product of Trump tampering as part of the Russian interference agenda to help Sanders win?
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it’s already crystal clear that Russia and Trump are pulling out all the stops in order to get ‘The Donald’ reelected. Now, the question is: is it too late for the US to do anything about it?
I don’t like Bernie Sanders. Didn’t like him in 2016. Don’t like him now. And no doubt Russia is doing all they can to help him win the Dem nomination. They know that’ll certainly Almost guarantee Trump’s re-election.
Also, it’s not lost on me that, as per all the reporting, Bernie was informed, at least One Month Ago, of what the Russians are up to. But Bernie didn’t publicly speak out against Putin UNTIL AFTER the NYTimes reported this news a few days ago. So I ask – Why did Bernie keep his mouth shut so long?
I think he’s a sneaky-azz, angry, old man who just wants to win no matter where his “help” comes from.
Last week I said I’d vote for Bernie if he’s the nominee. But the truth is, I don’t think I can vote for Bernie. And I don’t think he can beat Trump.
