Republican Senators not joining Trump in expressing admiration for Putin

[DrDoug]

It seems that Republican Senators returning from summer recess are not getting on the Trump train to kiss Putin's ass...

“If you’re running for leader of the free world and you’re expressing admiration for Putin, well then you’re losing me,” Lindsey Graham, a senator from South Carolina...

...

“I don’t think what Vladimir Putin exhibits is leadership. I think what he exhibits is thuggery … and we should be clear-eyed about that,” he (Marco Rubio) added...

This quote from Rubio really made me laugh:

“My sense is those views will probably change once he understands better who Vladimir Putin truly is – that’s my hope,” responded the senator, who is backing Trump.

Yup, a member of the party that derided Obama for offering "Hope and Change" to the people when he ran for office now says that his own "hope" is that their candidate changes after he takes office...lol!
