“An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections. And by doing so with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election to determine their country's future, including the countless Russian patriots who have risked so much to protest and resist Putin's regime."

You miss the whole point, Fireball. Condemnation from his own party is more significant than from the Democrats who opposed him from day one. (See the topic about Col. Peters.) And Sen. McCain’s words can sway many votes for impeachment if it comes to that, so they’re far from empty.

McCain has no pull within the Republican electorate. Only the Democrats like him.

Gee, flock, I couldn't have said that about you any better.

So I take it you think congratulating Vladimir Putin on winning a rigged election while he is poisoning his opposition is a good idea.
