MSNBC Analyst Wonders if Russia Might Support Sanders Because He’s ‘Ideologically in Tune’ with the Soviet Union

EXCERPT:

BAKER: “But Vladimir Putin and Russia, what he looks and sees is a president who wants to be friends and is stymied by the people around him. He sees Trump as being frustrated by the deep state. Remember that concept? It’s something Vladimir Putin sees, as well. So from their point of view, Trump is still a potentially reliable diplomatic partner. Now you might ask the question, and some people have, would they want Trump over Bernie Sanders? Sanders, of course, Democratic socialist, is more ideologically in tune with the old Russia anyway. And remember, of course, the Russians did favor Bernie Sanders in the primary in 2016 over Hillary Clinton. That’s an interesting question. Of course, Bernie Sanders is not the nominee right now. What the Russians see in front of them is an incumbent president who speaks in tones that they would like to hear from an American president."
