I am glad you did that Dan.  My point was and I still believe this.  The left loves to create evil characters to scare people. 

So, your point in stating confidently that Putin wouldn't be a problem is that the left creates evil characters.  What does one have to do with the other? Also, Putin's bad behavior is an invention of the left?

In the case of Putin, Hillary hired people that created a story (long ago debunked) that Trump and Putin were working together, that Trump was actually a Russian spy. 

Now, this is an interesting sentence, compounding one diversion or lie on top of the next. Let's try to break it down into its components, shall we? 

In the case of Putin, Hillary hired people that created a story.

Marco Rubio did. Through the right wing news organ The Free Beacon, Rubio's campaign hired a firm that does oppo research called Fusion GPS, who on researching Trump's vulnerabilities found an unusual number of contacts leading to Russia, to such an extent that at great expense they hired a respected ex-British intelligence officer to investigate the Russian connections further. Hilary's legal team bought the very expensive oppo research package from Rubio's campaign when he bowed out in 2016.  The so-called Steele dossier was not a dossier at all. It was an initial report from Steele to Fusion GPS, not meant for publication, and stipulated in the first paragraph to be raw intelligence, or potential leads, not a final product. 

a story (long ago debunked) that Trump was a Russian spy.

First, you're confusing and mixing up the Steele dossier and the Mueller report. Second, nobody said Trump was a Russian spy. Russian spies have training, are disciplined. Trump is an asset, easily manipulated due to his mountainous debts and gaping psychological wounds. Mueller showed the repeated contacts and ties between Russian intelligence and the Trump campaign in mind-numbing detail, and Trump again just recently showed it in action, resurrecting the convicted Russian contract agent Paul Manafort (whose criminal convictions were pardoned by Trump) and installing Manafort in an unspecified role in the Trump campaign. The entire GOP apparatus, including the news organs can be depended on to circulate Kremlin talking points, to the extent that recently deposed Fox powerhouse Tucker Carlson is a major TV celebrity in Russia.

Is the left still believing that story?  

Does the left believe that water is wet? And what do you mean by the left? General Milley? Mueller? MI6? GCHQ? The SDECE? You think these are leftists?

Putin is more scared of Trump than Biden I am sure.

Trump is a dream for Russian intelligence. Why would Putin be afraid of such a compromised, vulnerable puppet?
