A true patriot and lover of America would resign from his elected office if it was determined he was the beneficiary of election assistance by an adversarial foreign government. A true patriot believes in the integrity of the American electoral process and would do anything to support and maintain that integrity.
The fact that both the current president and vice president have no intentions of resigning tells you everything you need to know about their lack of love for America and their lack of respect for its electoral processes.

(35,091 posts)All those 'forgotten people', you know... like the guy who would rather commit seppuku than say a liberal was right about something, the person who would choose doing nothing all day than work alongside a black person and/or a GLBTQ person, and the person who thinks the zenith of not just American history but all history was when his ancestors owned humans as property.
What will they do without Trump, they're the real victims here!

(10,057 posts)Did this go back years because of Trump's business dealings, money laundering, etc. or did it happen closer to/during the campaign?
Regardless, there is nothing patriotic about this administration.

There is NO valid comparison between what happened with the Gore campaign and what Trump-ski did. Trump and many Republicans KNOWINGLY took massive campaign contributions and election assistance from unfriendly foreign powers.
These are not the actions of a patriotic American party, these are the actions of a kleptocratic Latin American-style banana republic political party.
