I have one question for Ms. Spartz: Will you repudiate Vladimir Putin as a dictator? And please don’t dodge the question by saying “there are other forms of evil.” Putin has put a bounty out on U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan. 3/14

I don’t believe we should have troops deployed all over BFE - look it up - but neither do I think it’s acceptable to tolerate a superpower paying taliban members so many dollars - or rubles - to kill our people in uniform. 4/14

In fairness, we (kinda) did that to Soviet forces after they invaded Afghanistan. “Charlie Wilson’s War” told the story of our arms to Afghanistan rebels who then shot down Soviet choppers and fixed wing aircraft. Putin bears a grudge over that. 5/14

Putin hates USA & compared USA 2 the 3rd Reich & he hates our democratic form of govt. He’s a dictator. I’d say trump “adores” Putin, but Putin owns trump. A hooker has greater latitude than trump vis-a-vis Putin. A hooker can spit things out & it’s a temp gig. 6/14

There are reasons trump does not release his tax returns: we’d see all those ties to Russian banks & Russia is controlled by Putin. So trump will continue to assume the position however way Putin wants him, or else suffer a radioactive enema. 7/14

Spartz harps how she was raised in socialist-controlled Ukraine & experienced 1st-hand the dark side of socialism. She stimulates salivary glands of some INCD5 GOP voters, but never defines “socialism”/simply uses it as bait. (Putin was part of that socialism system, btw.) 8/14

There R countries w/sizeable portions of their economies functioning in socialism that work quite well. (Hint: most of the developed countries in the World.) And we subsidize oil, aircraft and high-tech corporations - to name three sectors - with billions in public monies. 9/14

That is NOT free market. Also, since the CEOs of those corporations do as they please, they’re not socialists. Of course, they have money to toss around, and Spartz sure spent one hell of a lot of it in the primary. After Citizens United, those sources are anonymous. 10/14
