There's a lot wrong with the premise of the Russian probe itself.
That premise - sour grapes.

President Trump's international clout would simply be too large, and investigating him would make the Dems look incredibly anti-American and somewhat anti-Peace.
I tell you what, if the Israel and Palestinians reach a two-state peace deal, I vouch that I will write my district Representative as well as Senators Cruz (born in Canada) and Cornyn, and ask them to stop any and all investigation into Donald Trump.


Fair enough?




I will note that Richard Nixon became a 'global legend' by establishing and opening up relations with Red China (as they were referred to back then), which many applauded. Didn't make any difference, however, regarding his obstruction of justice.

And why should it have made a difference? A good deed doesn't erase a bad deed. Didn't we all learn this in kindergarten?

And that would mean WHAT to the Palestinians other than making them believe they're playing against a
stacked deck?

The 'faithful' thinking Trump a savior doesn't make him one, neither does his self-aggrandizing ego.

That is never going to happen, and one doesn't have anything to do with the other.

Trump gaining global legend status increases the damage.
His poll numbers are dropping here in the US. And he is not even meeting with, talking to or taking any points from the Palestinians, so how is there going to be a "deal"?

I suspect in a few weeks we'll get another "Who knew how incredible hard this would be?" statement from Trump. I would say he'd say complex, but he has has good words lately.

Oh, and Hillary won in a landslide, according to the polls, and Obama's huge approval rating made him a great campaign advantage for Hillary in 2016......
So feel free to believe the polls.

I'm well aware how the electoral college works.

Why you think it is relevant to this discussion is beyond me.

The people cannot pardon someone for a crime.
