Have you thought through any of that verbal dribble? Christ, if this is how Trump actually thinks, then we're in for a world of **** if he gets in office and starts really puckering up to that dictator.
Great post, ambient!

I cannot "rep" you enough!

Democrats are too clueless to be giving Trump advice on Russia:

With regards to the thread title, conservatives are interested in who will do the least amount of damage to the country.

We see the harm Dems are doing. Dems are giving Iran untold millions of dollars right now. Al-Q/ISIS is booming right now.

Excellent video showing the tactics and dishonesty of crooked Hillary and the liberal BS media with many of the key players in the democrat anarchy party giving a preformance.

When they champion Russia it is OK. When the other side does anything similar they are attacked. The dirt bag politics of the left will only accept their opinion and those who share it. Disagree with them and they do every dirty trick and even violence to shut up what they describe as the enemy. The fact that they are Americans with a different opinion never crosses their small minds.

Another point to be made is look at how long these people have been in politics living of the tax payer and that is the reason their hypocrisy is so easy to produce. These career blood sucking vampires need to be kicked to the curb. In both parties.

Spare us the fake rage over Putin. When the USA is Saudi Arabia's best friend, where Republicans routinely kiss the cheek of the house of Saud, the state responsible for the worst kind of religious doctrine, wahhabism, the place where FIFTEEN of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers held citizenship, it's kind of perplexing to see people vomiting this cold war nonsense, like the last thirty years never existed. Please, spare us the bull.

He wants to create a new Soviet style empire in Eastern Europe.

Curious that Trump is hostile to our continuing involvement in NATO. Wouldn't it be nice for Putin to continue his push into the Ukraine without US troops on the ground in Europe. Trump also loves the idea of an alliance with Russia to fight ISIS in Syria and prop up the Assad regime and create a Russian puppet state in the Middle East.

Trump and Putin are soul mates, authoritarian and anti democracy. More than likely the core reason Trump is hiding his tax returns is that they would reveal major business deals with Russia and millions of dollars owed to Russian banks and cronies of Putin. Trump may even be blackmailed by Putin to praise him. How else would a candidate for the presidency publicly ask a foreign leader to hack into our computer systems to discredit the Democratic contender?
Dead on. But in this election, no one cares about the truth. Furthermore it doesn't matter to Trump if American democracy is destroyed in the process, as long as he WINS.

Please reconcile the logic of these two statements.
It is not my responsibility to have to explain common sense to you.

I could try but it would be futile.

You can say the same thing of Kim Jong Dip**** over in North Korea. He's a Strong Leader! His countrymen and women do exactly what he says, and he never acknowledges any criticisms either.

Think about that next time you get off all over Putin. The hell is wrong with some of you people? Now you're fawning all over a figure whose leadership style is in violent conflict with the kinds of Constitutional values you claim to support? You're not serious people. And kissing this guy's ass is not "strong leadership."

That is all.
Who's "fawning?" What am I missing here?

The only thing that isn't serious is your pathetic drama queen post. Conservatives want America to stay out of Russia business. Nothing more and nothing less. While your piece of filth Hillary wants to start WW3 with Russia.

Next.

Nothing. The poster is missing the truth. Anything to deflect form their despicable candidate. The left is ethically and morally bankrupt.
