trump missed a great opportunity to expand his support beyond the 1/3 of right wing republicans.
had Trump really confronted Putin on Russia's meddling, forcibly telling Putin that Russia's behavior would be met by stronger and more damaging sanctions, then many moderates and even some liberals might have applauded his "America-First" rhetoric.....
Instead, Trump meekly "accepted' Putin's denials and even downplayed our OWN intelligence agencies' assessment of Russian hacking, making himself not much more than a Putin stooge.
Right wingers on here need to stop the delusional, "there's nothing to the story of Russian meddling" and join the rest of the planet in decrying the ex-KGB thug's attempts to divide both the NATO alliance and even our own electorate.....
What bothers me the most is that, through Trump's weaknesses, Putin is happy that he is getting all that he could have ever wanted from helping Trump get elected (I have little doubt that fairly soon, there will be a push from the WH to lift the current sanctions on Russia.)
