Dan Rather @DanRather
Reporters are trained to look for patterns that are suspicious. And time and again one stands out with Donald Trump. Why is he so slavishly devoted to Putin? There is a spectrum of possible answers, ranging from craven to treasonous. One day I hope and suspect we will find out.

can be attributed to stupidity. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor)
In the trump / putin relationship, I'll go with malice from putin, stupidity from trump.
I'll go with malice from (r)epuglicons and stupidity from the sheep.
