    Does anyone really expect other wise. The trouble is, like all strong men Putin is mortal and it remains to be seen how the current state of affairs will resolve itself once Putin shuffles off this mortal coil, as all of us do eventually.

    Yup...as long as he wants it...or until one of the other criminal oligarchs assassinate him.

    Hey...Xi in China just elected himself President for life as well.

    Seems to be a real trend. I bet Trump is SO jealous

    I guess russia unlike the US is set up to monitor elections for honesty and integrity? When the Carter Center was asked why they do not monitor our elections, they revealed our system is not set up to be monitored. For who is more trustworthy than our democrat party? They would never work to rig a primary so a grassroots candidate could win it, right?

    So, russia is a much better in being able to monitor elections. But no need to monitors ours for both parties are completely honest and would never rig an election or primary. They would never, like in NYC, purge voter roles in an area expected to go for sanders, would they? And yet when they get caught, what happens to those criminals? How about nothing? Not that hillary voters would care, for if they are like the DNC they could not care less HOW they win, just that they win. They probably figured they did not need to fraud, in the general. For hillary could not lose to this reality tv star.

    There of course are no plans to change our election system to where it can be monitored. For both parties are completely trustworthy. We just have to worry about russia!! For they may say something on social media that makes people like hillary voters to vote for trump? If anyone actually thought about this critically, the absurdity would be beyond the pale. And yet, the democrats have no problem in believing in absurdity. But not a single one changed their vote due to russia and social media.

    Putin probably has that job for as long as he feels like doing it. People must like him as americans liked FDR and kept sending him back to serve them again and again. He had to die while in office in order not to win again.

    At least unlike most of our presidents in recent history, since Reagan, Putin seems to be interested in making the lives of russia's non elites better. And he stands for russian national sovereignty, unlike bush sr, clinton, bush jr and obama. TPP would have taken more of it away, giving it to the banksters and MNCs, and the elites that own both. Good thing trump rejected it and put at least a temporary halt on sending average americans deeper down the tube.

    Did you just claim that Russia's elections are honest and ours aren't?

    What planet (or country) do you live on?
