I voted for Hillary and Obama twice. I hope that I can be half the man John McCain was. Indisputably an American hero, more admirable at his core than many presidents.
โWith all this talk about strain in relations [with the Soviet Union], there is an inference that somehow it is our fault. But we didn't kill Russian civilians by shooting down a civilian plane. We didn't attempt to conquer an adjacent country to ours.โ

...without losing establishment GOP support. Trump knows by refusing to acknowledge Russian meddling he is countering the collusion argument, thereby scoring points with his base. @Evan_McMullin
Todayโs summit reinforces my theory on how to view @POTUS foreign policy. He does not care what happens as long as he doesnt take serious politically damage back home. He will never acknowledge/confront Russian meddling because it widens the door to collusion.
All of his foreign policy is essentially rhetoric...Moving embassy to Jerusalem? Scores him points. Meeting with Kim Jong Un without any substantive diplomacy? Short term political points. Verbally attack NATO/EU w/o taking any real action?Scores political points w/ base..
