Putin is a commie. In 2016 the media painted Trump as willing to start a nuclear war with whoever. Russia was as good a choice as any. Later once the Hillary campaign and deep state cooked up the Russian collusion narrative, they changed it to the Trumputin talking point.
At that point it became a criminalized policy dispute. Trump said Putin was not a bad guy, and the media complained that Trump was not going to nuke Russia.
The media is of course ok with "tell Vladimir I will have more flexibility after the election". But I would much rather have Trump negotiating as a strong energy exporter with a country that bases most of its federal revenue on gas and oil. Trump is not going to bring fake red buttons, but as in Syria, draw real red lines.
Exactly. While it is true, the other side, as in liberals, have zero, nada, absolutely no credibility to make this argument this late in the game.
As far as interference, people are adults. If Russians were behind a Facebook push to remind Americans that Hillary is a villain, well, we already knew that. Seriously, how many minds were changed? If you believe 100% what is on Facebook then you frankly have issues.
