I never said you had an obsession. Some silly alt right idiot used that word. I said a poll showed 85% of republicans view Putin as a strong leader. Trump has a lot of Putin's characteristics, so I guess that's why you voted for him.
You mad, Bro? You must be because you got all defensive and started making shit up.
It's not that 85% of Republicans think Putin is a strong leader that makes me wonder, it's why 15% - and liberals - DON'T. And you are either an uber partisan going 'all-in' to make a point or you are an idiot. Acknowledging someone is a strong leader does not make you a proponent of that person. Stating / Believing a FACT does not make you a fan or supporter.
Putin is a very bad guy: Russian old guard, ex-KGB, arms dealer to the world, supporter of dictators, directed the annexation of Crimea, stepped in to aid Syrian President Assad while thwarting Barry's plans to redeem himself from the embarrassing 'Red Line' fiasco...but he has proven to be a strong leader and a cunning, dangerous enemy. Stating the FACT that he is a strong leader does not make anyone a supporter of Putin - it just points out they recognize reality.
It's not that people recognize that Putin is a strong leader that pisses you snowflakes off and that drives you bat-shit crazy. No THAT comes from you being so defensive because when you compare Barry to Putin you realize that Barry is not as strong of a leader as Vladimir Putin...and it makes you sick to your stomach.
Putin would not agree to a treaty with another country while that nation's leader calls for the destruction of Russia and practices bombing Russian carriers. WOULDN'T HAPPEN.
Putin would not make a piss-poor bluff to begin with and then back down when he was called on it.
Putin would not pay a ransom for Russian hostages.
Instead of providing terrorists with weapons - funding them, supplying them, arming them, training them, protecting them - Putin has killed them. (Of course he has done so to squash any opposition to Assad, to include indiscriminately killing women and children).
It's not what Republicans think that drives you so nuts - it's KNOWING that Barry F*ED UP when he laughed off Russia being a threat, it's KNOWING Putin has out-played Barry diplomatically and militarily several times, it's KNOWING Barry is not as much of a leader as Putin.
Putin is a very bad man, and Russia remains an enemy to the United States (thank goodness Barry and Liberals finally woke up to that).
You want to blame Republicans for acknowledging a FACT, which does not make them pro-Putin, and for the ache in your stomach from knowing all of this, go for it. Whatever makes you feel better.
Finally, also, you are pissed that all of Hillary's and the DNC's dirty little secrets - her scandals, her corruption, her crimes, that the DNC is full of racists, sexists, anti-Catholics, homophobes, and anti-Semites - so you want to lash out at someone while trying to blame the Republicans for HER / THE DNC'S problems of which they are to blame - so you lash out at the Russians and falsely try to tie Trump and the Republicans to it all.
The FBI already said there is no connection between Putin and Trump.
The FBI already said the Russians TRIED to hack the GOP but, unlike the Democrats, the GOP did not bite on their phishing tricks and their security was too good so the Russians moved on to 'easier pickings' - the DNC.
So the snowflakes become obsessed, and despite the evidence and FBI declarations, they - YOU - continue to try to connect Trump and the GOP to the Russians...
....to distract from the fact that the DNC rigged the Primaries to run the worst candidate ever in US history, to distract from the scandals/corruption, to distract from the DNC's own dirty little secrets that were exposed, & to distract from the DNC's / Hillary's cyber security procedures / processes were piss-poor.
'Personal Accountability'
There has been NONE during the Obama administration, and now that you have lost the election you are fighting the idea of it being applied again.
The Russians did not cause Hillary to lose.
The GOP did not cause Hillary to lose.
Comey did not cause Hillary to lose.
'Angry white males' did not cause Hillary to lose.
Hillary's staff did not cause her to lose.
Huma Abedin did not cause Hillary to lose.
HILLARY caused Hillary to lose.
