What will Trumps response be tomorrow?

Will he back down and say he never said Russia didn't hack the election? He just said Putin was persuasive but never said He was pursuaded.

Or double down on the witch hunt that's destroying the country angle?

Or something else?

Maybe try to fire Mueller or pardon Manafort? (I know. Not going to happen but what the hell, I'll cram these in anyway.)

Blame Obama
Blame Democrats
I never said that, repeated by Huckster, repeated by Fox news, repeated by GOP and NRA.

And then he'll bask in the warm glow of Fox & Friends as they tell him how wonderful he is for sucking up to Putin and doubling down on it. Then Hannity will puff him up even more.

saying he wants good relationships with putin, being enemies does us no good, etc.
The reality is many repubs know they won’t win w/o putin’s help so they’ll do nothing. They’ll say things but do nothing cause they wanna stay in power.

They will roll out an outrageous distraction to pump up his base. Maybe something with the immigrant females, knocking one of the mothers around a bit.

You want to know the sad part, not one person will post that my comment is outrageous. And everyone that reads this needs to ponder this fact and realize we have an enemy and they vote R.
