(37,648 posts)It doesn't come off the same way, when you hear him say it, as opposed to the written word.
When I read the OP, I thought well, I DO dwell on the Russia thing a lot. It's infiltration of our govt by a foreign enemy. But when I watched the video, I see what he's saying, and he is correct in that.
He's saying that the average American (not us political junkies) isn't so focused on that as they are on the economy, their wages, taxes, jobs, the things that affect them day to day. It's another way of saying the long time slogan, "It's the economy, stupid!"
He's not saying that the Russia thing isn't important, or nothing else is important. But to address concerns of the average American, they are concerned about things that affect them daily.
