Why Putin Has an Electoral Bone to Pick With Hillary Clinton
The Russian President has long held a grudge against Clinton for trying to weaken his rule when he was most vulnerable
In December 2011, Vladimir Putin came closer than he’s ever been to losing his hold on power. His decision that year to run for a third term as Russia’s President had inspired a massive protest movement against him. Demonstrations calling for him to resign were attracting hundreds of thousands of people across the country. Some of his closest allies had defected to the opposition, causing a split in the Kremlin elites, and Russian state media had begun to warn of a revolution in the making.
SEE? HILLARY CAME CLOSE TO SHUTTING DOWN PUTIN.
Trump’s flattering remarks about Putin in the past, as well as his recent equivocatingabout whether the U.S. should defend NATO allies in case of a Russian attack, would seem to support the notion that Trump is Russia’s favored candidate.
Considering his experience with Clinton’s supposed meddling in Russian affairs, it seems clear which candidate he would trust not to interfere in the Kremlin’s business.

Clearly, Trump is Putin's "favored" candidate.
