You serioulsy don't think that Putin is worse than Trump right now (we can't talk about the future of course). Over there in Putin's Russia they've just changed the law on domestic abuse in a most appalling way. I don't think Trump has assassinated anyone with polonium either but there's still time I suppose. You don't think the various murdering despots in Africa are worse? Seriously? Perhaps you can explain why maniacs like Robert Mugabe aren't worse than Donald Trump.

Putin is worse than Trump, and that's why the rumoured Russian interference in the election worries me. I don't know if the Russians did the hack, but I've seen fairly compelling evidence it was a nation state. The same hack that caught Podesta was tried on nearly 1800 email accounts, the bulk of which belonged to senior people in various militaries, NATO and various governments. The sort of people that the teenage hacker in his bedroom (that Trump said it was) would have absolutely no interest in.
I've read (and have no proof either way) that the hacks used bear the same hallmarks as several Russian state sponsored hacks.
The reason it concerns me is that IF Putin helped Trump win, there will be a cost, and from what I've read about Putin, if he did order the hack on the Democrats, it's likely they also hacked both the Republicans and the Trump Organisation, so he possibly has a lot of compromising material he can release. How far will the Republicans and Trump go to prevent this?
