Letter: Was Putin asleep at the switch for Dems’ wins?

Yeah for the Democrats, they finally won a couple of elections that people were paying attention to this time. Yes, I say let the Democrats have their day in the sun.

In the next year, anything could happen, and nobody can see into the future. My guess is not much will change. Here’s a question for all the Russian collusion folks out there: Why did the Russians let the Democrats win this time? It seems to me that Putin would want it all: take over the election process, tell the U.S. citizen who to vote for during election cycles. Did Putin fall asleep this time? Did we Americans slip an honest and fair election by the Russians when they weren’t looking?

Boy, I hope we can do it again next year! It sure will be awful expensive if we don’t!
