The entire GOPE needs him to get Pelosi type money.He will play.Paul Ryan and his cabal own him.
Go with Ukraine. The financial rewards are immeasurable. And you can blackmail them for more by threatening to tell the truth.
Not sure why we think we have US interests in Ukraine except for the want of corruption. Ukraine had already been a member of the Soviet Republic and half it’s citizens are Russian. Nothing changes from 40 years ago....split it down the middle and let them have the Western Half.
He’s a fake Christian beholden to money. He’ll fund the losing war in Ukraine, without doubt.
A real “man of God”...</s>
It’s not an isolationist wing. I oppose undeclared or unauthorized wars.
