“There is no room in this party for apologists for Putin. There is only room for champions of freedom.”
Twitter is all atwitter about a speech that Pence is going to deliver tonight. Despite the thickest teflon coating in history, I don't see how Trump can succeed with his Putin statements on the record. He will fade slowly, then quickly (assuming he's not already in jail)

A sizable portion of Trumps base would volunteer for the Russian Army if he said too. They are as far removed from questioning as Scientologists are.

Perhaps it's Pence who sees a path down the middle.
Though how did Pence's outlook on the wider world be viewed as "middle" when not that long ago he was extreme. Jeez.
Normalization is a blessing and an evil.

I follow a few wingnuts on Facebook for this exact reason: to take their pulse. Thus far, they are anti Putin but still pro moron.

He's still extreme.
But he also knows what things are like when you have a madman armed with nukes.

Many Republicans seem to be incapable of feeling cognitive dissonance so they can embrace Trump wholeheartedly while having fits about what Putin is doing in Ukraine.
