That said, Putin is exactly the kind of guy I would expect to decide, if I’m going down, I’m gonna take the whole fucking world with me.

I just hope he doesn't invert time.

this would be a period when the Russians would be ramping up internet mischief efforts. Do the math.

Mitt didn't lose because of his foreign policy views. It was Americans he had trouble with - at least 47% of them.......
