Democratic campaign consultants everywhere are salivating at the idea of....

....a Trump-Putin photo op in Moscow in October.


Please, Donnie, accept Vlad's invite. Make sure there is a nice smiling photo op with you and Vlad in Red Square.

2. That gives "Democratic campaign consultants" too much credit....

Given their track records I'm sure they're advising that their candidates lay low and wait until their Republican opponent goes too far and sabotages their own campaign. Or that they take out ads in newspapers bragging about how they "aren't beholden to special interests" or how they are a "different kind of Democrat" or how they aren't going to raise taxes because their "research shows that people aren't interested in the Putin thing" or whatever else.

And no, this isn't bashing Democratic public figures. It's just pointing out that the people we as a party and our candidates pay large sums of money to theoretically advise our politicians on have a very poor track record and yet seem to fail upward.

3. A pic taken of Trump atop Lenin's tomb would fit right in.

A fat, ugly, dumpy, scowling apparatchik like the rest of them.

Despite the right-wing's past as devout Russian-haters, I'm sure a pic like that would be spank-material for his demented followers.

4. Usually it is Trump with the various forms of dog whistles.

You have been summoned by your master hoping the orange pooch responds. ( My apologies to dogs everywhere which are noble, selfless, compassionate human companions unlike the human I am referencing. Calling Trump an animal is an insult to the animal kingdom.)
