I’m guessing it’s probably too late for much better relations with Russia. I do remember, however, years ago, when Russians were virtually starving, particularly for meat protein. It was right after the fall of Communism. At the very same time, there was a tremendous glut of poultry in the U.S. (that industry has major cycles) particularly of dark meat. Interestingly, Americans prefer white meat, particularly in fast food, and it’s hard to get rid of the legs and thighs proportionately. Bill Clinton could have had the U.S. buy up the excess dark meat for an absolute song and shipped it to Russia, and some encouraged him to do it. But he wouldn’t. That was a golden opportunity to enter into a better relationship, but it passed, and Russians suffered through a very bad time with no good reason to think well of America and significant reason not to do so.
Sorry that was my bad. I had Bill buy up all the dark meat and send it to my house. I banned white meat from chickens and turkeys in particular from my house years ago.

Jokes aside, I find this revelation of one of Trump’s top advisors cozying up to Russia right before setting their platform as disturbing. And to my mind it lends more credence to the implication that Russia is behind the Democratic hacks given the timing.

It’s really true about the poultry. Absolutely incomprehensible. The producers were literally begging Clinton to do it, but he wouldn’t.

I don’t find it anywhere near as disturbing that a Trump advisor visited Russia as I do that Hillary Clinton facilitated the sale of 20% of U.S. uranium production to Russia in exchange for millions in donations to the Foundation and to Bill Clinton. Let’s see, who supplies uranium to Iran? Why Russia, of course.

Are you as equally upset about Podestas connections?

Not equally upset no. Having business dealings with a Russian fund is one thing. Having talks with Moscow on foreign policy just before releasing your foreign policy positions is quite another. They’re apples and oranges.
 
Obama won in a rout in 2008 and even he didn’t win Georgia or Arizona. Arizona I guess is a bit of a special case since it’s McCain’s home state, but still.

Look, if it’s close in states like AZ or GA… HRC has this thing sewn up. And that’s where we are right now. And I do not see anything that would change that.

This map is the state of play right now: 270towin.com/maps/GORz0

What’s going to shake that up?
Trump’s sensitive and eloquent speeches?

No surprise there The Clintos always have different rules

Not different rules, different actions. Business with Russian companies is not asking Russia for their desired positions on US foreign policy. If Clinton were doing the same thing as Trump, her foreign policy position vis-a-vis Russia would match Trump’s would it not?
 
The hits just keep on coming;

Breaking: Judge Rules Against Trump, Says There is ‘Genuine Issue’ Raised That Trump U Was ‘Scheme to Defraud’

Wow. Looks like the Trump campaign is having a bad day.
Bad month. I could not in my wildest dreams have imagined that he would wage so incompetent a campaign. In retrospect, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, Christie, Bush even Fiorina would have been better candidates for the GOP.

You left out Carson.
 
Everything is pay back to every politician. Undoubtedly that’s why they are so inclined to go along with each other and claim every other politician is their “friend”. I’m sure every time you cross one of them you get paid back.
True but surely it’s odd that Trump refuses to endorse Paul Ryan, after he endorsed Trump?

He threw Ryan’s words back in his face. “I’m just not there yet. I’m just not there yet.” It’s purely personal. Can anyone imagine 4 years of this stuff?
 
I think he’s smarting from not being the VP pick.
My theory is that he didn’t want the VP slot, he wants to be Attorney General. Much more likely, I think. He’s a former US Attorney, he knows the ropes, he’s experienced, and it’s a pretty high-profile position.
