Reagan’s Son: Trump’s Base Would Pick Putin Over Any Democrat As U.S. President
The Huffington Post ^ | July 27, 2018 | Mary Papenfuss

“The most important thing to them is that Trump seems to hate the same people they hate,” Ron Reagan says.

The son of former President Ronald Reagan believes Donald Trump’s political base is so consumed by hatred for the Democrats that they would vote for Vladimir Putin to be America’s president instead of virtually any member of that party.

“They really aren’t in touch with reality. The most important thing to them [is that Trump] seems to hate the same people that they hate,” Ron Reagan told Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Thursday. “That’s the real Trump derangement syndrome.”

On the other hand, they like the people Trump likes, Reagan said. Russian President Putin’s popularity is rising, he noted.

“If it was left just up to Trump’s base, they would elect Vladimir Putin as president of the United States over virtually anybody with a D after their name,” he added. “If Trump seems to love Putin, they’ll love Putin, too.”

A revved-up Matthews groused that if President Barack Obama had committed an antic like one of Trump’s, he “would have been keelhauled.”(continued)

I would pick virtually anything over the typical Democrat, since they are all dictators-in-waiting.

I am having trouble thinking of anything that could be worse. As bad, perhaps, like a jihadist or a Nazi, but is there anything worse than a Marxist with a donk as a mascot?

The only reason we can live with Democrats at all is because they’re still afraid of our guns. Remove that fear and they’ll put anyone who opposes them in political prison or kill us outright.

As long as we're making predictions, I've got a couple:

  1. Next time the Democrats get power, they're going to bring 50 million third-world immigrants in for sure, 100 million if they can, and they're going to register every one as a Democrat voter as soon as they get off the plane.

  2. Next time the Democrats get power, they're going to legislate Sharia law across the country, and stuff the courts with judges who will stand aside while it happens.

Last month, the brother - sister act was Peter Fonda and Jane. I guess it’s Ron’s turn. I haven’t heard from Patti Davis in a long time. I don’t mind not having heard from her.

Like I care what he thinks. Next coverage on that channel will be the homeless guy and what he thinks of the President, of course after finding one who hates Trump.

He’s right, but it’s not about hate. It’s about ideology. Putin is more supportive of free enterprise than any Democrat. The Russians learned the hard way that communism does not work. The Democrats have not learned that yet or else they want to perpetrate the type of mass slaughter that is the hallmark of communism. And they say we conservatives are out of touch with reality.

I’d pick a sentient being over a democrat any time.

Most of the democrats are simply hollow sounding boards reverberating Marxist claptrap or fearful little apparatchiks regurgitating the party line.

March 2012...

"Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:

Obama: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space."

Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ..."

Obama: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."

Medvedev: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir."

"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." That statement tells us much about the president's mindset.

The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration.

Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president's comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.

In addition, there is the phrase "on all these issues," implying more is at stake than just missile defense."

When it comes to keeping America safe, we shouldn't be too flexible:

Pure Projection. Trump voters are not the one motivated by infantile ignorance and mindless emtoion driven hate.

The people governed by emotion and hate would be Ronnie, Maxine Waters and rest of the pathetic little gang of Fascist wanna bees on the Left.

Well he is 1/2 right.

The America people would pick a dead cat’s carcass over any Democrat as US President.

Let’s face it, the bar is REALLY low.

Sen. D’Amato Drops Bomb: Hillary Allowed Russia to Take Ownership of US Uranium to Sell to Iran

Jim Hoft
Jul 3rd, 2016

Former Senator Al D’Amato (R-NY) dropped a bomb on Sunday Morning Futures this AM. D’Amato told Maria Bartiromo that Hillary allowed Russia to take ownership of US uranium so they could sell it to Iran.

Hillary made it possible for the Russians to take control of one of our huge uranium producers and allow them to own the company, export the uranium and who do they sell the uranium to? Iran!

Now if people knew that and that the foundation as a result of that got $135 million. I think people would start saying, “What?”

It’s true.
In January 2013, Pravda celebrated the Russian atomic energy agency’s purchase of the company “Uranium One” in Canada.

That same company, Uranium One, owned uranium concessions in the United States. Because uranium is a strategically important commodity, the Russians would need approval from the Obama administration, including Hillary’s State Department, before the purchase took place.

Nine shareholders in Uranium One just happened to provide more than $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation in the run-up to State Department approval.

The Clintons took the cash from Uranium One officials before the deal was approved by Hillary Clinton’s State Department. The Clintons hid the donations which is a clear violation of the Memorandum of Understanding Hillary Clinton signed with the Obama administration wherein she promised and agreed to publicly disclose all donations during her tenure as Secreatary of State. (Via Breitbart)

The New York Times reported on the crooked deal in 2015.

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And then there’s this...

Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) told Greta Van Susteren the deal Hillary approved gave Putin ownership of 20 percent of US uranium and Russia sells uranium to unfriendly countries, including Iran.

Obama allowing Iran to purchase uranium from Russia

Daniel Horowitz | January 10, 2017

Remember those side deals Obama forged with Iran that were not part of the text of the official treaty? Now we are finding out some of the details.

Yesterday, the Washington Free Beacon reported that Iranian officials confirmed they have received at least $10 billion in cash, commodities, and assets from Washington since 2013. And that is likely a conservative estimate.

But cash is not the only thing the Islamic Republic of Iran is receiving for gracing us with their willingness to sign onto our own capitulation.

The AP is reporting that Russia, with the support of President Obama, is shipping Iran 116 metric tons of natural uranium.

While Iranian officials have obviously declined to disclose the use of such uranium, AP notes that this is enough to enrich weapons-grade uranium for nuclear bombs:

“Despite present restrictions on its enrichment program, however, the amount of natural uranium is significant should Iran decide to keep it in storage, considering its potential uses once some limits on Tehran’s nuclear activities start to expire in less than a decade.

David Albright, whose Institute of Science and International Security often briefs U.S. lawmakers on Iran’s nuclear program, says the shipment could be enriched to enough weapons-grade uranium for more than 10 simple nuclear bombs, “depending on the efficiency of the enrichment process and the design of the nuclear weapon.” ...”

Leftists have no clue why we like Trump.
Leftists have no understanding why the American Right liked Putin more than 0bama.
It's not that we like Putin, it's because Putin loves his country while 0bama clearly does not.
We wanted someone like Putin, but not Putin specifically.
That nuance is completely lost on Leftards, who always misconstrue the motivation of others.
Luckily, we got someone much better.
