Gallup: problems with Russia not mentioned by significant number as important

[yurbud]

Trump is a dangerous, incompetent, immoral pustule of a person, who should never have become president, and seeking foreign help to win the election is definitely worth removing him from office among his many, many moral and legal offenses.

But Democrats need more on the table in 2018 than just the Trump/Russia, because that's not on most people's radar.

1. That will change when Mueller wraps up

At least, I hope so.

[WhiteTara]

5. Manafort's trial begins on Tuesday.

The opening statements should be a wake up call for many more. But MAGAts are just immune to reality.

18. MAnafort's trial is about charges having nothing to do with Trump

[yurbud]

15. I think many's view of Trump will change. We have been victims of espionage by our ALLIES

before like Israel, and it didn't lead to a new Cold War with them.

There should be some reaction toward Russia, but not the kind of blind hatred that was stoked and manipulated after 9/11.

2. Actually issues exacerbated by Russian interference are all over that poll, especially the #1. (N/T)

[Squinch]

3. All of this is from before whiny donnie publicly fellated vlad.

4. If Russia takes over our country, those other issues will be the least of our problems.

I don't think that people really quite see the enormity of what is happening here.

6. why do you consider Russia just a campaign issue ? election attack affects every single

other issue because putting republicans in office will mean shitty policies on all those issues.

7. People don't understand a) the Russia problem and b) what it means for them, their

economic well being and security.

They don't realize how "in over his head" Trump really is.

That is because they have only known what it is to live in safe and secure America. They can't imagine anything else. They have no idea about what a serious threat Russia is to our country. They have no idea what it might mean to have so much corruption in every aspect of our lives that we dare not express our opinions about much of anything.

8. Well no, it isn't to trumpsters. They never got past 4th grade.

[liberalmuse]

9. God the people in this country are clueless.

If Putin really did help elect Trump it was the easiest thing he'll ever do because Americans are collectively a mindless bunch of dipshits.

10. couple of responses

1. situation with Russia is also baked into the number one listed issue
2. the top 6 issues all favor us

We only need to worry about one thing...voter turnout of our folks...registration, driving to polls, helping get ID.

Stop worrying about persuading Trumpettes and stop worrying about having a "message."

Every second year after a new President is elected...the same message works almost every single time. Stop that guy.
There's no reason why you need more than that this year.

11. The poll he referred to was a) Gallup & B) done back in June before...

Helsinki/

It doesn't help any that the so-called "liberal" MSM simply doesn't do much to report on any real national political news and too many Americans only watch RW propaganda spewing Faux "News".

[Algernon Moncrieff]

12. The issue needs to be reframed

It's not about "Russia"; it's about American security and our position as a world leader.

[GeorgeGist]

13. I worry we have reached peak stupidity.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. Because we live in a country of morons. What else is new? nt

[ck4829]

16. But yet Trump talks about Russia, he spontaneously said Russia needs to be back in the G7

and he has tweeted about Russia far more than Nancy Pelosi or the official Twitter account of the Democratic Party.

17. Ugh. David Sirota.

He takes a shitty Gallup poll (illegal aliens?) will a gazillion choices, from way back in June, before the Trump/Putin summit happened. Uh huh. No agenda there.
