the Russians have no more use for him, why would they dump money down that hole now

Trump can win. Don't assume he won't.

Many people are doubting he can. It frightens me how many people think he's not a threat.

Yeah he has 2 entry points too.

Haley won't drop out of the race and keeps confirming they will Pardon Trump of anything she can.

Just as I can see a Trump victory, I think she sees a reality in which Trump is nailed and uses it to show she was running the whole time. Scoops up his voters and more moderates who because of fucked up propaganda think the insurrectionist leader being jailed is an issue and wins to pardon and add him to the cabinet and make him defacto leader.

We really need a good showing from Democrats both in leadership and voters or else there are lots of ways we fall here.

What? putin is investing heavily in trump, even as we type. putin sees trump as an instrument to reverse the outcome of the Cold War, ffs.

Definitely true but also funny that Putin has said he prefers dealing with Biden, but that's just probably because Biden is old school and doesn't talk about how cool it was that Putin one time gave him a soccer ball and doesn't ask if they are friends all the time.

If Putin says he prefers dealing with Biden you can be certain he does not prefer Biden.

While I agree I also think even if I was an evil oligarch that would benefit from Trump I would also already be exhausted at the idea of working with him and rather just be behind the scenes mostly rich rather than be world ruler if he needed to be at my side.

Trump just said that he would stick Russia on people as his enforcer to make money and like... There is no way Putin likes Trump threatening his BF to go to war for him.
