GOP Overwhelmingly Backs Trump's Putin Performance

Source: PoliticalWire




July 19, 2018 at 6:53 am EDT by Taegan Goddard

A new Axios/Survey Monkey poll finds 79% of Republicans approve of President Trump’s performance during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin while just 18% disapprove.

”This poll foreshadows the coming national drama. Every piece of data, and virtually every public action of elected Republican officials, shows Trump will have overwhelming and probably unbreakable party support, regardless of what Robert Mueller finds with his Russia probe.”

A new CBS News poll finds 68% of Republicans approve of Trump’s performance with Putin.

If you told these people that hammering their kneecaps was harming Democrats they would scream "Bring it on!"

68 percent? That’s nearly one out of every three republicans saying he fell flat on his face.

Russian agent and working against the US still won't be enough for the MORONIC Repuke voter to abandon him. Too many here simply do not understand that. The Repukes in Congress are no different, they know what happens if they do.

of trump being a Russian spy.

As a neighbor, friend, family or acquaintance - they might turn you in for existing. They will be the ones that are there to hold the door open for you as you are escorted to prison (or worse) and they will kick you in the back as you pass them by.

If these people can still support an unhinged, wanna be dictator, they are a real danger to our society.

An Oligarchic, Kleptocratic government that suppresses dissent, jails/kills the opposition, and is ethnically White all under the rule of a strong man, autocratic leader.

This is what they want. This is them.
