How do Trumpies respond to newspaper articles connecting Trump to Russia?

By referring to sour grapes over the election. By referring to Benghazi, private email servers, and a "lyin' Hillary". By being generally nasty and vicious.

Oddly, the articles may not include a single mention of She Who Should Have Been Madame President. They don't refer to the election. They don't even quote a Democrat.

As always, the fringe right cannot self-evaluate. They cannot view themselves through a lens that does not refract through the light of a Democratic Party. They cannot think of themselves as Americans, only as anti-Democrats....even when their own party has been torn asunder, and America is poised at the brink of disaster.

The issue is Trump. The issue has ALWAYS been Trump. What a shame that so many of our people deserve him.

2. I switched over the CSPAN for a minute this morning and heard a couple of calls

on the Washington Journal (most patient man in television) show. The Trump idiots seem to think it's about time we started "talking" to countries like Russia. I imagine they don't agree about talking to Iran, though. You do what the cult leader instructs you to do.

The republican party could be pushing to have every child in this country thrown into volcanoes and they would not just go along, but virulently say anyone who opposes it is an america hating non christian POS.

People keep voting for Republicans and life keeps getting worse, so they tried to correct the problem by voting for the Tea Party. That made all the problems worse than ever. Finally along comes Trump and he is their real hero, everything they ever wanted is embodied in HIM, a real man just Like Putin. What could go wrong now ?

about the anti-Dump demonstrations. They will say something like "When Obama won, we didn't riot." So I say to them is there nothing you would protest?

6. They're actually PROUD of it. Putin, after all, is White and they believe in White Power uber alles.

These people are so dumb, so ignorant, so unAmerican that it isn't funny anymore. They've forgotten that Russia was once our arch-enemy and that the current dictator is NOT our friend. Iran, however, has too many brown-skinned people and is Muslim, so these know-nothings hate them more - and with a passion as they should be hating Putin - and brown-skinned Muslims are not worthy of their approval.

Fucking morons.

Generally, most appear to be:

They're not certain it was Russia.

They don't think the email releases tipped the election.

The emails were all true anyway.
