From CNN's Marshall CohenIn an early exchange during Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders that “ Vladimir Putin thinks that Donald Trump should be President of the United States, and that’s why Russia is helping you get elected.”
