umm, I guess it depends on what the "connection" is. If you are merely trying to gain perspective from the other side without emboldening an extremist position then that's fine and probably beneficial to democrats who actually think before they vote. If you are promoting the actions of war mongers, dictators, murderers, then obviously that is a negative.
-Hillary's staff acted horrified on Twitter when Trump said something derogatory about some worthless Saudi Prince, while condemning his very right and proper praise of Putin, one of the most moral leaders of any major power recently.
OK I didn't realize you were a schtick until now.
-Are you denying this? Name a more moral leader of a major power in the past few years. Preferably one who has done more to fight Islamic terrorism, restore his country's standing in the world, defend the rights of foreign whistleblowers, and provide a counter to folly.
It's great to see another admirer of Mr. Putin here.
