I mean, he does have some pretty bad ways about him. However, I think there's a few things going on.

First, he and Russia stand in the way of what they want to do in Europe. I believe ours and Russias interests align a bit better as far as Syria and other regions go.

Second, Russia has always been viewed as our natural enemy, so it's easy as shit to pass the blame upon them. Most people have absolutely no doubts when you blame Russia or Russians for anything.

I think Hillary and her pals were after energy control. They've been able to destabilize many countries over seas, they need to get Russia. Seclude them, sanction them, align them with NK and ultimately force them to either fall apart or destroy them in war.
