Only 55% of U.S. voters now disapprove of Trump's handling of Russia while 71% of Republicans approve. This is why he is doubling down with a Putin visit to Washington and why we cannot just assume that Americans will oppose threats to their own freedom.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-voters/majority-of-americans-think-trump-mishandling-russia-reuters-ipsos-poll-idUSKBN1K72T1 …
How could so many Americans fail to oppose a clear risk to their own liberty? Well, candidate now president Trump has been in full, public embrace of Putin for three years and the vast majority of elected Republicans have, with few exceptions, been entirely silent on the matter.
The formerly bright stars of the party, including Paul Ryan and others, saw the basic contours of the threat early, but for years have thrown up their hands saying, “What can I do? I’m just a policy guy doing my job,” as though they were mutes and had made no oath to the nation.
Meanwhile, millions of Republicans and others who trust their leaders took queues from Trump’s Putin allegiance and GOP leaders’ silence. Now, we find ourselves in a situation in which our political will to defend ourselves from a serious national security challenge is tenuous.
Here’s what I don’t understand- why do 71% of Repubs approve? Why don’t they understand what is at risk here?
The white guy making $24k a year is pissed that the brown guy is making $25k. The high school grad making $35k a year is mad the college grad is making $45k. The right successfully scapegoated the correct demos, providing the disenfranchised with hope and that's the whole deal.
Which poll does 55% come from? I’m stunned, given the level of outrage in my circles & solemn silences from Trump loving relatives.
Good grief, Americans SMDH
If wanted to live in Russia I'd move tIhere! Seems some refuse to see what is crystal clear to others.

I would love for someone to put side-by-sides of every comment every GOP member of congress made about Obama normalizing relations with Cuba and how they are reacting today. #Hypocrisy
Great idea! I think it would fall on deaf ears with the current GOP base and leadership, though. We are now the "someone" you mention, and I believe we're in the minority too
