      1. I think this sentiment ("I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat") illustrates why the Russia investigation, although worth pursuing for legal reasons, will yield few political dividends for Democrats.https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1026150926271143936 …

      That sentiment represents a minority of a subset.

      Very few people would explicitly state it the way these two goofballs did. But some variation of it (Trump at worst better than any Democrat) is majority GOP sentiment.

          That is absolutely true. I’m seeing lots of inferences that Trump supporters all are cozy w Russia now... which is neither factual nor will be proven out.....

          Have you seen the poll numbers showing republican approval of Putin? They've skyrocketed in the last few years. Even more telling that among people that identify as Republican we find Putin routinely beating Obama in approval.

          70% of Republicans approved of Trump’s pointless and craven Helsinki summit with Vladimir Putin. That could indicate a baseline of GOP supporters who will discount or support any Trump misdemeanors with Russia.

          Nope. It’s one thing to buy Trump’s line of improved relations w Russia, it’s wholly another to support Russia having meaningful influence over our President.

          Sure. But imagine the Republican numbers for polling on this q: “Do you support Trump if he is beholden to/influencable by Putin?”. There is a distinction to make.

          Good point. I'd say it's NOT EVEN that "Trump at worst better than any Democrat"; recall how tepid Trump's support was early in the primaries. It's more like, "Not ditching Trump will yield more of our political objectives than respecting rule of law." Norms go up in flames…
