I think what's most likely is Russia supported Trump in order to have a weaker executive. They also aimed to make American elections seem less legitimate. If the RNC manipulated things to help a particular Republican, I think Russia would have revealed that. It makes American democracy seem a lie. It's obvious the RNC did not do this. I don't think any sort of real collusion is likely. I don't see any incentive that would cause Trump or the Republicans to collude with Russia. What exactly can Putin give Trump or the RNC?

[quote]No president can just order someone to be tapped. If the fisa court agreed there was enough evidence of a crime to issue a warrant, trumps supporters should be ready to accept that they may have elected a genuine criminal. I wonder whats more likely, A: Russa has real dirt on donald and other republicans, after all, they hacked the rnc too. Or B: Trump made a deal to enrich himself by lifting sanctions. I suggest a combination of both. This would explain not only why the fbi is refusing to answer so many of congress's questions, but also why so many of trumps staff are involved with russian operatives, and why republican lawmakers are so quick to look away.[/quote] The republicans may be colluding with the Russians but I highly doubt Trump is himself. The RINOS are democrats in disguise solely there to undermine the right and make them look as evil as possible. Trump is the fall guy.

I think it is the opposite. I can see trump in on it but not republicans. Funny how all those RINOs bashed obama for 8 years since he walked in. You would think they would be happy with a full house of republicans right? Nah, they have someone so distasteful that they might hate him more than obama. Let that sink in for a moment. Of course since they dont obey trumps command, they must be liberal in disguise. Talk about being a sheep or else.

No honest liberal is in power right now. Therefore they are the establishment and are not for the American people. Theres a reason Bernie didn't win the nomination and it's not the right's fault. It's much easier for regular people to become a republican that's why you have a mix of honest republicans like Rand Paul for instance among the establishment republicans who simply hate trump because he's going to cost [i]them[/i] more money instead of the American people. That's literally the only reason they hate him.

The dems thought with how far right they were going, they could secure a win by appealing to moderates and left (hillary) and saw bernie as a risk. They didnt cheat (im sure you will be thinking of the DNC emails) which only proves their bias for hillary and tips, but the win was still hillary's (i voted bernie and i understand this). Anyone with a lick of understanding politics can see this miles away. In fact i was suprised people didnt know (or just pretended not to.)

His circle consists of special interests and others that paid into his campaing. Not based on qualification. If you said John kasich i could agree. Obamacare lite hunter, Rand Paul, is hardly a shining example. Trump isnt costing them more money, he is costing taxpayers on stupid ideas and already oveeinflated budgets.

[/quote] So why is Rand Paul, the most prominent example of anti-trump, still criticizing the Trump administration in congress and on twitter that is related to their job? Even worse is the fact he is principled unlike the democrats and republicans alike.
