Just like Putin should be launching an attempt to get both the Dem and GOP candidates elected for the foreseeable future. Then, when one candidate wins, he can leak to the NYT or to FoxNews his attempts to get that candidate the victory, and the losing party can spend 4 years trying to take down the winner. I can't think of a reason Putin would not do this. All he wants is a weak POTUS preoccupied with domestic scandals, regardless of party.
