Why debate the guy when you can just kick him out of the election? lol ---

> [@bing](#): > > where did medvedev end up? did he even run or was he given a cushy appointment somewhere? Putin said he’s putting him back at prime minister if he wants to be. It’s funny just how ballsy he is. 12 consecutive year term limit, so you blatantly swap jobs with your lackey for a couple years after 12 years, then grab another 6. ---
