I ask this one question. How many Americans today are saying to themselves?

It's been proven that there was no collusion today between the Trump and the Russians since I was on the fence I am now going to vote for Trump. Just what I thought, not many. We have so much more evident that this president is unfit and not worthy of the office, it would take me hours to write them all. The corruption and the statement alone that he was going to hire the very best people is just a small example of his incompetence. But whoever the Democratic nominee ends up being I would hope that they would stick to the issues that most Americas care about and keep it positive. Let Trump go down in the dirt and continue to divide this country. Americans are smart enough in the end to make the right choice.

This is not "exoneration" for Trump; if anything, it is an indictment that he hired:

a) a national securiy advisor;
b) campaign chair;
c) deputy campaign chair and WH advisor;
e) personal attorney and deputy national party finance chair

who are all admitted or convicted crooks, and none of which were even remotely trustworthy for the posts they were given...

"I'm not a crook (but my staff was)" didn't work out that great for Nixon, did it?

98% of Congress voted for that war. The American people followed the herd of all our leaders. They were all duped.

What's your point? That a majority of Americans are not smart enough to make the right decision in 2020? In the end I have faith that they will.

It’s not that anyone actually hopes he colluded with Russia. It’s that he’s already demonstrated in broad daylight that he is a liar, a cheat and a racist. Nobody needed Michael Cohen to say that either. He and his cronies are destroying the planet and preaching hate. Exoneration my ass! There is something seriously wrong with anyone who can’t see what a duplicitous, evil scum bag he is.

"Americans are smart enough in the end to make the right choice."

I really believed that until this monstrosity was elected. I don't believe it anymore. By hook or crook, he sits in the White House. All the information from the intelligence community concerning interference in that election is still being ignored.
