So, no, he's not interested in doing a deal.

Doing a deal means he leaves Ukraine.

All of it.

He wants Trump to put pressure on Ukraine to accept the unacceptable. Maybe if some one could point out that the deal Putin is praising him for is the deal Putin came in with. Tell Trump it is a Putin deal, not a Trump deal. He is being played.

Maybe Hillary could repeat her words saying he is Putin's puppet.
