Donald Trump may be trying to convince the country that he wasn’t in the loop regarding his campaign’s many secret contacts with Russia, but nearly 60 percent of the country thinks he was well aware of what was going on.

In a new poll released by CNN on Monday, 59 percent of Americans say “Trump himself knew” that his associates were communicating with Kremlin-connected operatives during the presidential campaign.

More from CNN:

Almost six in 10, 59%, say they think Trump himself knew last year that anyone associated with his campaign had contact with suspected Russian operatives, while only 35% think the then-GOP nominee did not know about those contacts. Fewer (39%) see last week’s legal actions as signs of a widespread effort within the campaign to coordinate with Russia; 44% say they represent an effort to coordinate that was limited to just a few people.

The sharp shift of Republicans to ally themselves with Putin and say good things about his regime appalls me. I remember a right-wing guy I knew who didn't like the Detroit Red Wings in the late 90s because they had five Russian players - "Commies" as he termed them - and most of them were defectors!
