    Is there room for any apologists?

    MAGA is the RINO, Trumpism is destroying the Republican party

    There are no room for apologists of any kind for communism and socialism.

    Whenever a lefty explains that a RINO is as Republican as you can get.

    WE TRIED RINOS WITH W, AMD ROMNEY.

    It led nowhere.

    The one you keep avoiding….

    Do you agree with Pence about Russian apologists in the Republican Party?

    It’s really quite a simple question…

    Trump supporters are apologists... or they have demonstrably selective memories. You can't *really* be a Trump supporter and a Putin critic because Trump has a public multi-decade infatuation with Putin. Trump and Putin share a fundamental worldview. Trump wishes he had the autocratic control that Putin enjoys. He often said or assumed as much. If you're honestly asking, google "Trump's secret meetings with Putin" from 2019. You could always try "Russia, if you're listening?" From 2016.

    Your list is big on this site.

    Nice talking points. I'm sure they go over well with shallow thinking lefties. Unfortunately, I see it for what it is, a long winded way of saying you have no response whatsoever.

    So speaking at a white supremacist event isn’t an issue?

    Conservative media and republican donors saying putin is preferable to half the nation…

    Yeh, I can see why the extremist parts of the party has so easily taken hold.

    I agreed with Trump on national policy, but I think Pence would be more likely to win in 2024 than Trump.

    never said it wasn't an issue. It's not the topic. Start a new thread on it if you want to discuss that.

    And more general statements indicating you have nothing.

    The list that the left is acting like is so extensive appears to be either incredibly small or non existent.

    Looking more and more like fabrication for the sake of politics.

    Yeh, it is so minor the former Republican Vice - President, several presidents, several members of congress and dozens of governmental officials closely tied with the prior administration have decided to speak out against it. It must just be in everyone’s head, right?

    At about 1:15 in, the leader of this "America First" PAC, gets a huge vocalizing of support, when he asks for "a round of applause for Russia."

    1) How is that "Democrat(ic) misrepresentation?"

    2) How is it not a sign of support for Putin, within the Republican ranks?

    Well this is great for you. Since it's so obvious you can show us all quite easily.

    I'm waiting anxiously for all these quotes from prominent republicans coming out in support of putin.

    Make sure you quote me so I don't miss it.

    It's okay just operate under the assumption that everybody already knows you think Trump is literally Hitler.

    I’m seeing a surprising number of trumpys online now claiming ukraine is some sort of false flag, or just that putin is the good guy here. It’s ridiculous, but I wonder what the impact will be. Candidates are gonna have to take a position on it, and pro-ukraine is certainly the most politically feasible one now.

    It would be so convenient for you if these were just talking points.

    Trump held secret meetings with Putin, he even went as far as to seize the interpreter's notes while excluding high-ranking officials from his own administration. This is indisputable. Yes or No?

    Trump withheld crucial support from Ukraine to extort dirt on Joe Biden. He was IMPEACHED for this. This is indisputable. Yes or No?

    Trump asked for Russia to hack Hillary during the 2016 campaign. This is indisputable. Yes or No?

    Trump has publicly fawned over Putin (2009 Miss Universe Barf) for example. This is indisputable. Yes or No?

    Looking for a prominent republican, how about Trump? "I went in yesterday, and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful," Trump said when asked about the news. "I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's going to go in and be a peacekeeper." Putin is "Savvy," his justification is "Genius." Yes or No?

    These aren't even debatable. Whether you can be honest about this cross section of behavior has everything to do with you and nothing to do with me. These aren't talking points. This is what happened. And there is lots more.
