From Nixon and Reagan

the Russians learned how easy it was to manipulate republican voters and how open republican politicians were to trading treason for power.

The American republican party is how one country attained superiority over a another country with an economy 14 times as big.

Khrushchev had it all wrong. We will bury ourselves.

Unless we choose not to.

in order to win elections.

Nixon colluded with the North Vietnamese to delay meaningful progress in negotiations until after the 1968 election. LBJ had proof via tape recordings. He confronted Nixon privately and Nixon lied. LBJ did not go public with it due to the sensitive methods used to get the information. But Nixon committed treason to win. The tapes exist.

Reagan did the same thing with Iran. That story is well known.

Trump’s treason is just another example of Republican treason to win presidential elections.
