What a surprise that the guy who thinks the Democratic party should primary a sitting Democratic president should be aligned with Russia on the matter of Ukraine. I may die from the shock.

    The Russians have always had really commendable spycraft. I never thought they’d get a president. That was wild…

    But, to go back to that well again so soon? They must be running out of ideas.

      I think if we’ve learned anything over the past year or so, it’s that originality is not their forte.

        They have loads of ideas. Can I sabre rattle my way to victory? Can I run a country like a mobster? What about like a cult? Can Godwin’s law be a casus belli?

        So many ideas. They’re bound to have a good one eventually.

    I’m just surprised of all the attention this guy is getting. There’s nothing compelling about him and his ideas are trash.

        I’m like 99% sure that name recognition is one of the two important reasons people vote for a candidate; the other is party affilation.

      Being a Russian asset has its perks, among which are the services of their comrades in the media machine.
