This is why we can't do Bernie.
The Russian Trollsâ Next Favorite Candidate
Caught Red Hatted
Luckily for the Russians, the two current front-runners for the presidency, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, are both polarizing figuresâand theyâre both candidates Russian trolls sought to promote in 2016, as Special Counsel Robert Mueller found. This time, the Democratic field is crowded and squabbling, but it includes no hawkish, long-established Hillary Clinton to tear down. If the election does end up being a Trump-Sanders face-off, one of the Kremlinâs favored candidates from 2016 is guaranteed a win.
They are far apart ideologically but nearly equally suited to the Kremlinâs interests, both in being divisive at home and in encouraging U.S. restraint abroad. Both Sanders and Trump profess to want to refocus the U.S. inwardâa message that clearly appeals to many Americans. But that doesnât mean the Russian propaganda machine is slowing down; itâs just aimed at a new target.
