NY Times: Trump campaign aides had repeated contacts with Russian intelligence

[Inmate Trump]

Any Republican who still supports Trump and wishes him to remain president is doing so only for partisan reasons.

To continue to support a man with reported Russian collaboration during the election is nothing short of anti-Americanism. You are unpatriotic if you like Trump. There is absolutely nothing about him that is in line with the things we pride ourselves on as a nation.

-You are unpatriotic if you desire senseless Russian-American confrontation.

I have no desire for a confrontation with Russia or any other country.

What I take issue with is Russia hacking our election, calling into question the very results IMO. I don't want a Russian puppet as our leader.  Why do you?

This binary is basically a Kremlin talking point, BTW. I don't think you're a Putinbot (English too good) but you're regurgitating Kremlin propaganda

That's modern Republicans for you. Almost all of them don't care that everything we stand for is at stake with Trump. They're perfectly willing to let the country go, all in the name of party loyalty. Before 2016, I had never voted for a Democrat for president. But when Trump is a leading candidate, any sensible person who does not want to see what America would be like under Nazi rule would not have been able to support him.

Even Reagan would've despised what his party has sunk to with the likes of Putin's buddy in charge.

The last four posts aren't even worthy of a response, other than to say I'm incredibly sad at the state of our country and its voters.

-Same. I'm sad that more people voted for HRC than for Trump.

Hypothetical: Hillary Clinton was elected president. Less than a month into her administration it is revealed that her campaign had been in constant contact with Russian intelligence officials during the course of the campaign. This, on top of prior revelations that the Russian government hacked the RNC and leaked damaging information about Trump.

And also the FBI broke policy one week before the election with a very vague yet unsettling announcement that they were investigating Trump.

What is your reaction at this point in Clinton's presidency?

They know exactly how they would respond. But they would never admit it.

Oh I know. Sad!

-Neither is true. I was disgusted by Romney and supported Obama over him; I'm not some kind of blind partisan. The key matter in 2016 that made it different from 2012 was Scalia's death.

The blatant fascism and Russian dealings (which were known before Election Day) didn't do anything for you huh?

I want whatever you have been smoking.

Living in fantasy land.

Just reacting patriotically to the news. But I suppose you think it's fake.

Eharding,

I'm just curious. What, if anything, would cause you to stop supporting Trump?

If the now known repeated communication with Russia during the campaign doesn't bother you, what will? What if it came out that his team was directly involved in the Russian hacks, which we also know occurred? Would you not consider it treasonous?
And what do you suppose his campaigns frequent contact with Russia during the course of the election was about, if not something to do with hacking our system? They weren't just exchanging recipes. What else would it be? Please humor me.

Will he have to be accused of rape and sexual misconduct before your support wavers?
Against an underage child?
Those accusations exist.

Would appointing under qualified cabinet officials do anything for you?
.Betsy DeVos.

Or him using his position to further his own, and his children's, brands? Because that is happening.

There has to be something that would even make you vote against him in the next election. I refuse to believe an educated voter in this country would have no moral reservations considering any of the above.
