It looks like Russia hired internet trolls to pose as pro-Trump Americans

I think we're talking about different meanings associated with colors. You probably don't remember when the democrats were the red party and the republicans the blue. Guess who requested the swap.

So if I drink a lot and smoke a bunch of meth, the Democrats will go back to red?

I've never thought of Business Insider as being a 'pro-Hillary' outlet, but who knows any more.

From the OP:

"I created this list of Russian trolls when I was researching. And I check on it once in a while, still. And a lot of them have turned into conservative accounts, like fake conservatives. I don't know what's going on, but they're all tweeting about Donald Trump and stuff," he said.

So, does this mean there's a real possibility that someone else is sending fake Tweets as @RealDonaldTrump? Would certainly explain some of his craziness!

Try it, and let me know. Anyway, I was speaking of moods, and mood elevation. I was not speaking of political parties. Get your head out of the gutter.

You are supporting a candidate who may recognize it as legit. Unless you also choose not to listen to what he says.

That's either a deflection or you missed the point.
Russia still has Crimea and they're noodling about in Ukraine and Obama has done exactly what about it?
Yet you still support Obama while condemning Trump.
But Trump isn't the one in a position to do anything about what Putin has done.
Does Obama recognize it as legit?
Is doing nothing about it tantamount to recognizing the action?
Isn't the effect the same?
Was it just another red line crossed?

That would explain some of our newer members.

So tell us about Trump's experience in government and with foreign policy?

Don't bother. We all know he has none. Funny how you Republicans whined about Obama's lack of experience, and called him a thinned skinned narcissist for 8 years. But now the Republican nominee is 100 times more thin skinned, narcissistic and has NO government experience.

If it wasn't so sad and Trump wasn't so dangerous it would be funny.

You must have made a mistake. I Never took the position that Trump was more experienced as you seem to want to put in my mouth.

It is just that Obama has amply demonstrated how stupid it is of the electorate to elect a foreign afaires neophyte President. It is essentially to throw the country in harm's way.

So what does that say about the electorate supporting Trump who has amply demonstrated his ineptness and stupidity every time he opens his mouth? It seems their only goal is to destroy the country.

Not necessarily. To see, where behavior will lead, one must have the capability of estimating it. If one does not have the experience in foreign affairs or economics it will be impossible to guess the consequences of actions with any hope of success. It is hard enough, when you are a specialist. I see this in my own area all the time. People will believe things that are just plain wrong and argue their opinion on and on.

I do not think they are as much pro Hillary in your link as they are aware and alarmed as we all are looking at evidence based data that gives much clarity on Trump and his ineptitude and his narcissistic temperament.

It is certainly easy to see a number of advantages the Kremlin could gain from the various aspects of supporting Trump or BS. And I had actually noticed trolling consistent with what the article mentions. This was not restricted to the US. I also saw similar activities on German and British Internet platforms.

Putin may also be uncomfortable with Hillary being able to buy and sell influence under the table through the Foundation. He can't be sure who has bought and sold what promises from the US.

Then there is the matter of where the State dept really is:is the power in the government or the Clinton Foundation? Putin can't like that. He's got the same headaches at home.
