With all the rhetoric about Russian collusion and no evidence at the present to validate the accusations.

1. Exactly what does Russia gain with a Trump Administration that affects our National Security? Foreign interference is common in elections even by the U.S.

2. Why do you believe the Trump administration would conspire with Russia?

3. Do you believe Vice President Pence or Congress would go along with this idea?

1. "United we stand. Divided we fall." The mere fact that the US is so damn divided negatively impacts our national security and aids Russia's position in the world. It is a well established fact that Russia is actively trying to drive a wedge through the heart of America. It baffles me that the political party that once chanted the mantra "Better dead than Red" suddenly views their great adversary as a harmless chum.
2. Yes I believe DJT would do virtually anything in his personal interest. He would sell out the USA as quickly as he sold out the USFL (US Football League) if he thinks it would help him get something he wants. He has a well established personal history of such behavior. Simply compare his *talk* about America First versus the *actions* of DJT and his various companies. He says hire Americans but his companies always seek H1B Visas to hire foreign workers here in America. The vast majority of Trump and Ivanka products are made overseas by foreign workers. He talks one way and acts another way. Sort of like not donating any of the money raised in the name of veterans until after reporters call him on it; or promising money to a grieving Gold Star dad but not paying until after it hits the news. Or compare his rants about the costs of Obama's golf habit versus his actions and his personal golf habit. The man is a fraud that is always looking to take care of himself.
3. In 2016 and early 2017, I ignorantly held a higher opinion of the VP but he has since lost my confidence. Spiro Agnew stuck with Nixon almost to the end and Pence tends to try to clean up after Trump far more than he avoids going along with things. Pence is one of the few in the White House Trump has not been mad with. IMHO, Pence is already looking at becoming the 46th President one way or the other. Back in May, Pence quietly became the only first-term VP in history to form his own political-action committee (PAC), the Great America Committee. His credibility and integrity are already in tatters with a large segment of the population. IMHO, the self-billed "Rush Limbaugh on decaf" has quite a few strange ideas of his own.

IMHO - Hillary would have been horrible, but Donald is not any better. They are BOTH AWFUL. Clinton and her group can go to jail for any crimes they participated in, while Trump and his group can do the same. At this point, both the Rep & Dem political parties are bad for America.

Yes... from military stand point, we have already been invaded by the Russia through the internet. Any one who have served knows the Russians are on their game on pyops, and we have been served well done. On top of that, Trump is compromised, we will find out how much a dodge drafting turd he really is.

What do you need a confession? And if you aren't convinced by now what a train wreck tRUMP is, then I guess what he said is actually true. He could murder someone in the street and not lose any of his supporters. tRUMP's first priority is tRUMP, if it were not he would have answered the call to duty and not wussed out like his cowardly grandfather.

Well we now know for fact that both James Comey and James Clapper both lied under oath about wiretapping and FISA court warrants I think the enemy is within.

OK - here you go:
1. They gain a compromised President who they can subtly or not so subtly influence to get changes in US Policy favorable to their interests. They get sanctions lifted, perhaps. They get their spy houses in the USA back. They get more latitude in the Middle East, specifically, wrt Syria. No need to go on - there are all kinds of things all over the world. Just the fact that the President doesn't believe in climate change - and that a warming earth is an ADVANTAGE to Russia > opening up the northern sea passages to trade routes and thawing out millions of acres of (future) farmland, mineral deposits, etc. And, they get CHAOS in our government... which helps them, clearly. The list is endless.
2. Not intentionally in the way you pose the question - BUT, I do believe that this President will do just about anything that advances his own personal business interests / those of his own Family, and that he puts those considerations in front of America's interests - yes. He seems to think that these two things (his interest and our interests) are the SAME THING. They are not.
3. If the President falls, who becomes President? Yes absolutely the VP will "go along" - that guy sold his soul when he agreed to be this man's running mate. He's not going to commit treason, I doubt he'd go along with say, a nuclear strike; but neither is he going to stop the President from destroying himself, and damaging our Country in the process.

SPC Sean Martin You don't think Trump just threw consumers like you and me under the bus when he signed this?

Given the scandal at Wells Fargo and the security breach at credit company Equifax, don't you think consumers deserve their day in court? DJT says no. He feels when a financial institution rips you off or screws you over, you must submit to mandatory arbitration that is shown to be biased in favor of businesses over consumers

If you can't pay cash for something, you can't afford it. Cash is king and solves this from ever becoming a problem with the consumer. Don't put your hopes and dreams in these companies, and that's the answer.

There's no room left under the bus after Obama. From now the worst president to a real American fighter with street smarts.

I feel that the Trump administration doing what Clinton and Obama should have done many years ago! Too many embassies were bombed under Clinton and he did nothing! The World Trade Center garage was bombed, still nothing was done! The USS Cole was attacked and I thought of it as an act of war but he did nothing!!! President Bush tried to clean up after Clinton and Obama messed things up again!

I don't trust Trump. Everything out of his mouth is a lie, one lie after another. But, I am glad Obama is gone, he was absolutely the worse president we have seen in modern at least back to Jimmy Carter.

Back to my coffee. NYT? Pinky and Carlos drive that biased rag. Even with their able assistance, Trump easily dispatched Hillary. You could have quoted Jeff Bezos rag, they would have the same mischaracterizations, exaggeration and flat out lies. Heck, go for the gold CNN or MSNBC. I'll ask Sean Hannity, Mike Savage and Rush Limbaugh for an opinion, be on the same level. Epic fail, Pal.

Hey Collins, no need to be rude, we are here for the same thing, PAL! Also, I have decided to stop using Rally Point because of attacks from you. A simple conversation is one thing but a personal attack is not necessary.
