How can any American accept the idea of a possible betrayal of our Constitution...?

...not just by ordinary citizens, but by our elected leaders?

There is a question, a very credible question, about whether Donald Trump has business interests in Russia that make him beholden to Vladimir Putin and could possibly put our country at risk?

Is that a gamble that anyone should take?

How much trust should we put in politicians that ignore this possible threat?

Is it too much to ask for proof of business interests before putting someone in a position where they could do all of us great harm?

I think not. These politicians take an oath to protect and defend our Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

They are betraying all of us.

and given the way it's presented, that is understandable.

When the Bill of Rights is read to them, a large percentage think the reader is quoting the Communist Manifesto.

The way this needs to be framed is not an attack on the constitution. That won't work except in a courtroom. What the average bozo needs to be told is THE RUSSIANS ARE GONNA START TELLING US WHAT TO DO.

You see, the one thing they can't stand is the thought of being ordered around, at least by somebody who isn't giving them a paycheck.

Appeals to intellect aren't going to work. You have to think lower, much lower.
