That's they were duped with Russian agit prop. They fell for the hustle so now they are forced to either be even more supportive of Trump and Putin, pretend it's not a big deal (feelings debate), or they would have to admit to being fools.
So when you wonder why the cons suddenly see Russia as a force of good...it's simply a cover for being stupid enough to fall for it.
I picked Trump as the candidate with the best policies way before the wikileaks issue surfaced.
As did the vast majority of trump supporters on this site and in this nation.
So....you're wrong.
Although your insistence is convining, insisting means nothing unless you want to reveal your mind reading techniques.
You said that we were "duped by russian agit prop.
I pointed out that the vast majority of Trump supporters made up their midns before the truth was leaked to the press.
Thus, you are wrong, as our choice was made long before the action you claim caused it.
