That’s good…. a big nail for their election coffin. Hard to push “make America great again” when they so publicly support and embrace an evil Russian dictator. Has he ever done a good deed in his life?

I hope his life ends at the of a rope or perhaps as a bloody pile of torn flesh and broken bones on some roadside in view of the Kremlin. Putin deserves at least as good as Kadaffi got.
