I am honestly quite torn by this mess. I don't think that a better relationship with Russia is a bad thing. At this point I think that teaming up with Russia to end the awfulness in Syria (and the ME at large) would be a net positive for everyone. But Putin...geez man he is the wrong guy to team up with.
The thought that the KGB manipulated our election is loathsome and dangerous. This is America and that kind of election interference doesn't/should not happen to us. We are not a banana republic in the 1950s, we are the leaders of the free world and if our elections can be manipulate so easily that is a bad thing for humanity.
I also think that the EC is a bullshit system and I'd love to see it come crashing down. Trump winning despite losing the popular vote by 2.7 million would usually be the kind of thing to hasten the demise of the EC but in this case, the EC going "rogue" and refusing to elect Trump would probably bring about its demise even faster. But I can't imagine how the Trump supported in Rural America would respond to that; they have a lot of guns remember. Probably the best thing here is for the EC to go rogue and then have congress elect Trump anyway. That way we embarrass the EC, but avoid an actual civil war.
