It’s certainly possible. There are a good many that have forgotten what Russia is capable of doing.

Corporate individuals have biases. No news there. But, so do people who aren’t corporate. The real key is to find people who can do their job without undue bias.

Tax returns will not show connections directly to Russia unless he has income from them.

@Rob1948 He may have income from them. Trump Jr. once said they did not need money because they could borrow all they need from Russia.

Pence wouldnt be able to run as an actually elected incumbant, would be tainted by his being on the same ticket as a now disgraced ex president, and the GOP would eat all thier young in a hurried primary to select a candidate.

Be fun to watch from another planet, maybe.

Au contraire . . . . It would give him a foot in the door to pretend he was the new christian savior, and all the idiots would buy in to it and vote for him just like they did tRump, thinking that he would help bring about end times and all that bull shit. Never underestimate the stupidity of the religious right.

@Archeus_Lore Could well be. It will depend on how involvement with Russia is viewed. And, right now, many on the right view it as a positive.

Nonsense?

@Rob1948 The first indictments showed there was nothing to it, the second round showed it was purely political. So far there is no evidence of Russian interference in the election, and even less of collusion with Trump. Dems can't admit that Trump won because Hillary ran an arrogant less-than-inspiring campaign, so, Russia's fault! It would be funny except for the fact they seem to have learned nothing from Hillary's loss and are well on track to lose in 2020.

@Druvius No evidence of collusion with Trump. That is true but possibly because it was hidden from Mueller. No evidence of interference? Perhaps you need to stop listening to right wing news. Or read the Mueller report.

Yes, Hillary screwed up. Doesn’t mean Russia did not interfere

@Rob1948 Yes, the "Putin is an idiot" scenario. His chances of successfully interfering in the election were zero, he wouldn't try something so stupid. When actual evidence of it, like evidence for 9/11 demolitions, comes to light; I will revisit the issue. And when did progressives start trusting the FBI anyhow?

@Druvius @Druvius sticking your head in a hole, just like ignoring the reports of 18 intelligence agencies and the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee are equally wrong. And, hey, if you can’t trust your own Republicans, who can you trust?

@Druvius you say there is no evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Back it up. Give us authoritative proof from a reputable source.

In the meantime, I give you James Clapper. [newsweek.com]

@Rob1948 I'm not the one claiming there is evidence. It's the Russiagaters that need to come up with evidence, and so far what they has produced is laughable. James Clapper claims there is evidence, but he doesn't produce it. The old folks called that lying.

@Druvius Read it again. I said you claimed there is NO evidence. The fact that you don’t get to see classified evidence, don’t believe professionals like Clapper or choose not to believe the Mueller report is not proof of no evidence.

That does not mean Clapper is lying either.

Again, give us proof that there is no evidence — either that what is claimed to exist is a lie or that there is none.

Cite sources. Don’t just brush it off as a lie because you say it is.

Proving it has always been the issue... this could do that, if true.

I understand. Everything seems to slide off while he slithers away.
