Support Mr. Sanders instead of Clinton?
Support candidates like Mr. Sanders and Ms. Stein to draw away votes from Mrs. Clinton?
Bruce Monkhouse said:
Now why would you want to put a real candidate up against Mr. Trump if he was in your pocket?
He's not in their pocket if he does not get into the White House.

"Russian nationals and businesses also worked to boost the campaigns of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Green party nominee Jill Stein in an effort to damage Democrat Hillary Clinton."
"The Russians “engaged in operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump,” according to the indictment, which was issued Friday."
The document, which spells out in detail how the Russians worked to support Trump’s campaign, alleges that on or about Feb. 10, 2016, the Russians internally circulated an outline of themes for future content to be posted on social media accounts.
“Specialists were instructed to post content that focused on ‘politics in the USA’ and to ‘use any opportunity to
criticize Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump – we support them),’” the indictment said.
On or about Nov. 3, 2016, just five days before the election, the Russians
tried to boost Stein’s campaign by buying an ad to post on the Instagram account “Blacktivisit,” according to the indictment. The ad read in part: “Choose peace and vote for Jill Stein. Trust me, it’s not a wasted vote.”
