    I will be so bold to offer a prediction to you lefties here. We will know the truth about the Russians when Mr Trump leaves office in about 7 years and 9 months from now.
    You're welcome!

    I'm not making a prediction or saying the Russia thing is fully true. But I'm just curious, if there is actually proof of Russian influence on Trump, will right wing Trump supporters have enough character to come out and eat crow? You would have supported basically the biggest scandal in modern US history and a subversive attempt to ruin our nation - virtually an act of war. Will you question your party, your news outlets, and seek to change your viewpoints as an individual? Because their entire rhetoric and strategy was based on the intensity of the uneducated and misinformed fear and anger of a socioeconomic group in the US that has fallen behind.

    Or will you just continue to be part of the backwards, falling behind, and ignorant US and continue to vote right no matter what? I'm really interested in seeing if America changes if that day occurs.

    Yes..unequivocally! There has to be actual proof that Trump himself interacted with the Russian government or operatives that resulted in our nation becoming compromised and undermined our nations security. I'm officially on record stating that I would instantly disavow Trump and distance myself away from Trump and his campaign(I am not backing away from my core conservative principles)... Not hearsay, actual facts...names...dates from information confirmed and verified.

    The real question is how about the masses of left wing Hillary supporters... who earnestly believed Hillary would win. Look at yourselves... Everyone was ready to leave the nation, if Trump was elected. Why are yall here? How about those who were willing to "accept" the result of the election (Trump voters would be 'unhinged' blah blah, etc.) Why are these same hypocrites violently attacking people in Trump gear? Even those on this board who were willing to donate to Clutchfans...where are they? wtf happened?

    Russia was created by the left(a figment of their imagination), because they had to have a scapegoat to blame regarding the greatest collapse/upset of the 'establishment'. Hillary was 99.999999% the next and first female president...LOL,It's a few days past April Fools... #shesnotPOTUS45. I voted for Cruz in the primaries, and was willing to accept my parties nomination because he represented change from the norm. The left has failed her party and her principles...yall nominated Hillary, and yall lost. Get over it.

    The second bolded point...man - still freaking dont get it. You cant insult a given population/demographic and refer to them as "sub"_____. How are you reaching out to them, when you keep insulting them? Hasnt getting btched slapped at the polls not taught you anything?

    Thanks for the honest reply. I just don't get how anyone could support the party/constituents that supported Trump if proof of Russian subversion comes out.

    As for the 2nd bold point - why not? I lean left and am not far left. I don't like politically correct BS and wouldn't support a SJW any day of the week. Most of Trump's strongest supporters were uneducated middle aged whites. I've worked overseas and traveled enough in the US to know that this demographic that has really fallen off in the last 30 years. They want better jobs? Stop blaming immigrants and people of different cultural backgrounds and start getting educated and putting in the same hard work they do.

    The story of entitlement is the saddest thing to happen to middle America. What happened to hard work, education, and compassion. Weren't those some of the original strongest Republican values? Right wing policies these days don't want that. They want to just serve themselves a platter because they feel entitled to it.

    Are you afraid to answer the question or just too stupid to do so? Sound like a damn middle schooler every time you post.

    "Trump himself" won't be interacting. He has people to do that for him. That doesn't mean he isn't aware of it and reaping the benefits of it. That's why your comment is disingenuous. You know it's bull**** lol.

    Follow the money...

    That could very well be true, but if you cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt, then you cannot impeach him, that is how the law works in this country. If you cannot prove he is guilty, you cannot convict him.

    Add this dot,

    Erik Prince, founder of the controversial mercenary group, Blackwater, brother of Trump's Secretary of Education, Betty DeVoss
    A United Arab Emirates representative arranged a secret meeting in January between Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a Russian close to President Vladimir Putin as part of an apparent effort to establish a back-channel line of communication between Moscow and President-elect Donald Trump, according to U.S., European and Arab officials.

    The meeting took place around Jan. 11 — nine days before Trump’s inauguration — in the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean.

    It has been reported that the UAE middleman had met w Flynn and Kushner in NYC in Dec 2016​

    The left has done nothing since the election to gain voters. I am not saying the President has been much better but the left has been an embarassment. Why switch? If you want unlimited immigration move to Europe. I barely lean right.

    I don't think they've been an embarrassment but I agree that they need to coalesce behind another message other than "trump sucks". Or at least do a better job unifying your position and telling voters why they should be trusted in 18 and 20.

    Trump's Useful Idiot, Devin Nunes, to step aside from Russia probe

    House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) will temporarily step aside from an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, including interactions between Moscow and the Trump campaign.

    The probe will be taken over by Reps. Michael Conaway (R-Texas), Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) and Tom Rooney (R-Fla.)

    Translation:

    the useful idiot has embarrassed me enough already !
    Ryan is linked to Nunes and his visit to the WH.

    in his first press conference, post his White House visit, Nunes said that he had spoken to Ryan first before visiting the WH
    to view those supposed "incriminating evidence" provided by the leakers at the WH
