Wouldn’t banning politicians like Paul Rand and the string of Traitors from the Republican Party from traveling to Russia actually be helpful to the US?

These are not people you can play footsie with, thinking that somehow you can get an advantage. That's the republican game.

And it still isn't rendering, but it's there in the source. fixed. for now anyway.
