It does make you wonder. To me though, the most troubling thing is how the GOP base has gone from being like the rest of us skeptical and distrustful of Putin simply because Trump praises him. That makes me think that they’d probably praise Kim Jong-Un if Trump spoke highly of him enough.

The GOP base’s love affair with Vlad is years old. They fell in love with him back around 2013, when Russian interference in Ukranian affairs showed how “weak” Obama was. From there forward, they suddenly started seeing how “awesome” Putin was, from his promotion of bigotry and racism, to his bullying of lesser states, to his showing how “ineffective” organizations like the UN are. I’ve lost count of the number of wingnuts I’ve seen over the years wistfully declare that they’d rather he were president than Obama.
