      Dear Democrats: There are scandals equal to the RU stuff but that affect actual Americans. Love, Flyover Country.

      this is just nonsense. "RU stuff" is a variant on the government for sale, and perhaps the worst example of it.

      Except for the bit that no one fucking cares abt it. They care abt having their homes stolen. Putin didn't do that. Americans did.

      last, this idea that people in "flyover country" don't care about foreign policy is a.) disproven in polling, and...

      Perhaps you shouldn't lecture stupidity? You're advocating pissing into the wind, I only assume bc corporate targets are too close?

      isn't all that different, just different policy as a favor? People understand what "Donald Trump is owned by X" means.

      No. Again. People have had their homes stolen. Not by Putin. By Americans. You want to villainize Putin first. Why?

      Why is it suddenly so hard for people to understand problem isn't RUSSIA (tm), it's that US politicians can be bought by them?

          you're ludicrously claiming, somehow, that "people in flyover country" - who you speak for - *only* care about Wall Street

          No. I'm not. But thanks for the demonstration your reading comprehension isn't so good. And got a link to polls on RU?

          you'll say this shows they don't think "hacking" mattered, but never been just about hacking - this is about being bought

          Again - if 8 in 10 people say they've followed the news on Russia "very closely," how is it plausible to say people don't care?

          Sigh. Please go back and revise your claim to match what you actually have evidence for. That's my issue. You made stuff up.

          I'm the one who made the point that they're variants on the same problem, each equally worth concern
