Big mugs of Hot, creamy, delicious Chocolate topped with marshmallows, tons of hugs and lots of ass-kissing and bowing down and kissing the feet of these lovely and oh so "misunderstood" tRumputin voters will turn them more liberal, and have them voting liberal in NO time.

Yeppers, Hot Chocolate, marshmallows and LOVE will do the trick alright

The registered repubs are probably all unreachable.

We have to reach for the people who usually vote for democrats, but voted for the fuhrer. That is a small number of people and it would tip the scales in our favor.

need to be making information available about Putin's history, crime, discrimination, KGB, communism...and on and on...like some documentaries and web page type things or even somehow manage to get the Russian's info reported as news...the Trumpers may not care about this but surely some of our populace does.

Russia:

-- Has an autocratic leader (the only type of leader they like)
-- Has almost no Mexicans and Hispanics
-- Punishes/jails liberals and homosexuals
-- Fully supports unhindered energy production and resource extraction
-- Has a thriving propaganda and fake news industry
-- Has millions of square miles of land for hunting

We should encourage every last one of his voters to move to their promised land!

a 6 week long trip to Moscow? A few weeks would be like a vacation, but 6 weeks ls a LONG TIME! Maybe after they've seen the difference between living in a FREE Country and living in a dictatorship, they just might appreciate the good old USA.

are saying things like Obama just pissed off because Democrats lies, deceit and corruption got exposed by Wikileaks. They are calling for an investigation into the substance of the emails themselves not the fact that they were hacked and given to Wikileaks. They also saying things like Obama trying to start WWIII before leaving office and are fully supporting a Trump admin Russian reset...

It never stops with these right wing nuts.

their leaders say. They have horrible reasoning skills and don't employ critical thinking. If they were in Germany in the 1930's , they'd be enthusiastic Nazi Party members. Time for me to re-read Professor Altemayer's book on the subject. http://theauthoritarians.org/

I think some right-wingers (and a smaller but significant number of left-wingers) simply worship a Strong Man.

And of course the RW media tells us that the worst person in the world is Obama.

I know a few people myself who prefer the Unspeakable to Obama *and* sympathize with Putin. They come from a variety of points in the political spectrum, but what they have in common is a deep dislike of America and its role in the world.
