I was with you until your dismissal of Russian collaboration as the believe of a ridiculous person. They might be, but it does not refute the surprising details that have been uncovered regarding Trump's campaign working with the Russians. 
Trump also said: “Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing,” Trump said in a series of three tweets. “Only ‘stupid’ people, or fools, would think it is bad! We have enough problems around the world without yet another one.” When asked about working with killer Putin, Trump dismissed it by saying: "We've Got A Lot Of Killers - You Think Our Country's So Innocent?"
I am not saying this is proof. But it is evidence.
