Related: About this forumA question I would like the news media to ask Donald Trump:
"Mr. Trump, do you believe that Vladimir Putin is an authoritarian dictator?"
No wiggle room here, it's a yes-or-no question. If Trump says yes, then why the hell is he having this bromance with an authoritarian dictator? If no, then Trump is clearly an idiot.
So of course, he will try to wiggle around it, maybe turn it around to attack Obama & Clinton. But that'll be so effin' transparent, that I don't see how it could work to his advantage. DU thoughts?

(453 posts)Mr. Trump,
You said Putin is a great leader bc he has high approval ratings and Obama is a weak leader bc our country is so divided. By that standard would you say that Abraham Lincoln was a bad leader? The country was most divided during the American Civil War
