QUESTION: Why do you trust Red Don won't accept help from Russia and win .... Again?

For those who proffer "let the people decide in the next election" and don't impeach now ... why do you trust Red Don won't accept help from Russia and win .... Again?


No, Russia's impact on America's election didn't boil down to a bunch of SM post and I don't believe for a second the width and breadth of GRU (Russia's CIA) penetration into state and local electoral systems did not resulted in ... NO ... effect at all an anything.

The Russians affected America's election system and process last time, why trust the Russians wont affect America's election system again to the benefit of Trump and Trump wont accept and use said Russian help?

If your answer is "No, I don't trust Benedict Donald Trump wont accept and use Russian help" then isn't the ATTEMPT at impeachment worth it?


What say you?

don't trust him OR the russians.

WORST (almost) would be 'trusting' repugs IN the U.S. government to do what they should to PREVENT such. They/we've spent how much of past allotments to secure our elections?

and all of the other countries he has made friends with over the last few years. I would be willing to bet NK is one of them.

No one trusts that Trump won't get assistance from the Russians. In fact, pretty much everyone assumes they'll try.

...so they must believe 'X'" is a logical fallacy.

It's also presumptuous and misguided, at best.

... to leave a national election to someone who's already accepted the help of a hostile foreign country.

And that you know everyone's reasoning and motivations.

Want real discussion? Then, stop acting like no one's opinion matters but your own and then ascribing silly and ridiculous motivations to them for having those opinions. Like your OP, for example.
