Trump is already busily fellating Putin:
According to multiple accounts, the Trump campaign has successfully worked behind the scenes to make sure the new Republican platform would not pledge the lethal defensive weapons Ukraine has been pleading for from the United States. Trump’s forces have tabled a platform amendment that would call for maintaining or increasing sanctions against Russia. Removing sanctions and blocking lethal military assistance to Ukraine are the two primary goals of Putin’s foreign policy. The Republican platform is handing those goals to Putin on a golden platter.
He’s a strong negotiator like I’m a Mexican opera singer. Rolling over and giving the antagonist everything he wants before even being asked is every shade of pathetic. The next step, I’m sure, will be Trump licking Putin’s boots and wagging his tail in an ingratiating manner.
It’s now crystal clear why all the Ian Welshes are so pro-Trump.
And those conservatives worried how bad Walter Mondale slept with the Commies…

If Walter Mondale was a Commie peacenik, how should we qualify Donald Trump?

I remember the 1984 election, when Mondale lost in the worst Democratic electoral catastrophe in U.S history (winning only the District of Columbia and his home state of Minnesota) — but unless you’re referring to his position on a nuclear-weapons freeze, why/ when did anyone accuse him of being a ComSymp peacenik?
If I remember correctly, Mondale lost because he was deeply in the pocket of every single Democratic special interest group in the country.

Mondale lost because there had been an economic turnaround after a long recession and voters reward those in office during economic good times and punish them in economic bad times.
And…. he was ass deep in special interest groups and couldn’t really appeal to mainstream voters.
But was his defeat worse than McGovern’s in 1972? That was pretty catastrophic.

Yes, actually. Mondale won the District of Columbia (3 electoral votes) and his home state of Minnesota (10 electoral votes), for a total of 13 electoral votes.
McGovern also won the District of Columbia (3 electoral votes), lost his home state of South Dakota (which would have given him 4 electoral votes), but won the liberal State of Massachusetts (14 electoral votes), for a total of 17 electoral votes.
The worse loss ever was by Republican Alf Landon running against FDR in 1936. D.C. had no vote then, and Landon took two states (Maine, 5 votes and Vermont, 3 votes) for a grand total of 8 electoral votes.

Yes I refer to his position on a nuclear weapons freeze and the tough stance of Reagan against communism.

I’m looking forward for real arguments by the Clinton campaign, though.

Although many Russians prefer Trump, a journalist at Russia Today argues that Hillary Clinton would be better for Russia.

These are propagandists. Russia Today has nothing to do with journalism. These are former KGB workers on direct orders from the Kremlin. They are terrified of Hillary and want to discredit her.
There is no free press in Russia.
