Putin has made it clear that he would be willing to work with whomever the American people vote for in November. However, it seems that he has his eyes on Biden.
Putin Says He Wants to Work With Biden, Claims 'Shared Values' Between Democrats and Communism
BY DAVID BRENNAN ON 10/8/20 AT 10:05 AM EDT
Russian President Vladimir Putin has attempted to mark a positive resemblance between Democratic presidential candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden, and Soviet communists in a wide-ranging interview with the Rossiya TV channel, released Wednesday as the 2020 vice presidential candidates prepared to debate.
The president said the Kremlin would be open to working with whoever sits in the Oval Office in 2021, despite U.S. intelligence reports indicating that Russia is trying to undermine Biden in the same way it did Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016.
But Putin linked Biden to communist ideology during the interview. While Putin—a former party member, KGB colonel and intelligence operative—made the comparison in positive terms, his comment lines up with GOP talking points about the Biden-Kamala Harris ticket. Trump and his allies have tried to frame their opponents proposing a far-left, extremist platform dictated by the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
"The Democratic Party is traditionally closer to the so-called liberal values, closer to social democratic ideas," Putin said. "And it was from the social democratic environment that the Communist Party evolved."
…
Putin also reminisced on the Soviet Union's rhetorical support for African-American civil rights struggle. American racial inequality will play a central role in the coming election. Trump has been widely criticized for dismissing the concerns of Black voters and tacitly endorsing violent white supremacist groups.
…
Trump and his allies have tried to characterize the Black Lives Matter movement, for example, as an extremist and even terrorist organization.
Putin said Black Americans "constitute a stable electorate" in favor of the Democrats. "The Soviet Union also supported the African Americans' movement for their legitimate rights," he said.

FJAG said:It's no longer enough for Putin to try to put the boots to the Democrats via troll farms? Now he's praising them for being Communists?
The man must be really desperate to want Trump to win again.

His internal organisations may be telling him something if he’s going to those lengths.

Excellent illustration of the ridiculousness of association fallacies. The Taliban wants the US out of Afghanistan. Some Americans want the US out of Afghanistan. But that does not make either party responsible in any way for the behaviour of the other, nor does it diminish the value and desirability of getting the US out of Afghanistan.
Some widening again in the national polls.

The real key is to watch the state polls where Trump might be able to pull an upset but even in some of those he has a wider gap to close than he did against Clinton.

A few US friends of mine have said that travelling a couple of thousand miles in various US States recently, they have seen almost no Biden signs, but lots of Trump signs. Biden may be struggling outside of Dem strongholds.
