President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed Russia would attempt to help Democrats in upcoming elections because no president has been "tougher" on Russia than him.
"I'm very concerned that Russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming Election. Based on the fact that no President has been tougher on Russia than me, they will be pushing very hard for the Democrats. They definitely don't want Trump!" he tweeted.

The Republican-controlled House on Thursday eliminated new funding for states to strengthen election security, drawing protests from Democrats who said Republicans are not doing enough to prevent Russian meddling.
“The Russians attacked our democracy. They will be back, and we are not ready,” said Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill. “The president is unwilling to meet this challenge, but we must be willing to meet the challenge.”

Quigley’s election security amendment would have extended funding for a state grant program overseen by the federal Election Assistance Commission. Congress approved $380 million in the current budget for the program, which is intended to help states strengthen election systems from hacking and other cyberattacks.
So, Trump thinks Russian wil push for Democrats but the GOP seems no to worried by russian interference...
Are they trying to lose ? Or is that a potential interference from russia would benefit them, contrary to what Trump tweeted ?
