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?

None of the above. Our relationship with Russia is a complex one. We are not at war, and we do business with Russia every day. NOT engaging with this huge power would be folly.

Trump is out for Trump and has been actively courted by the Soviets and now the Russian Federation since 1997. If he had been trying to get a TS Clearance the way most of us have had to, by undergoing a rigorous background investigation, those business connections would have been enough to deny it. I had to disagree with so many of my extended military family, but this really looks to me a lot like treason. I have no doubt that the administration would sell out the United States, based on the idea that"what good for General Bullmoose" is good for the USA. Folks, he insulted and sold out NATO until forced to step back; we are embarrassed by our "withdrawal" from the Paris Climate Accords despite the overwhelming world agreement with them. He lies with impunity; selling out the USA is no different than lying about the size of the crowds at his inauguration. Pence was a failure as a governor and never introduced successful legislation as a Congressman. He's chosen to neuter himself -- none of us who know how the military works would expect Flynn to have done any of the things he did without clearance from above. They knew...they knew...they knew. Face it.

He is in it for himself to help line his friends and families pockets some more. At best he is a fraud who is avoiding the real issues by arguing and picking twitter fights over nonsense.

Peace!

I believe that he would. He has never served in the military, his track record speaks for itself showing multiple times that when it gets rough he high tails it and blames everything and everyone else for his mistakes and failures. The only people who are going to benefit from his tenure are the cronies who paid for their positions in cabinet or were promised kick backs

There is no question that it already is throwing America under the bus. He is actively sabotaging us, and withdrawing our influence internationally, and the Russian Federation and China have already moved in rapidly to fill the power vacuum. It's a complete and utter disaster for the United States. We are now the weakest that we have been since before World War II.

1.

Russia could gain a tactical military -and/or- economic advantage.

2.

Trump is an “art of the deal” businessman, not a politician. His financial prosperity trumps (pun intended) all else.

3.

Has Pence shown any independent thoughts or actions?

1. Nothing I can see. They lost their best shoot when Hillary lost!
2. No, this administration has been more pro-American that the last one.
3. No, because the Trump administration is trying their best to support America and her legal citizens.
Lets ask the question in a different way, do you think the Obama administration with help from Hillary have been trying to throw America under the bus? Well maybe we will find out soon.

1. Not sure what Russia would gain with a Trump Administration that affects our National Security. I am pretty certain Russia wouldn't put one iota of effort into strengthening our National Security. So if they were in fact meddling, it would be to do harm, not to help.

2. Trump's sold out America already... With many of the appointments he's made. EPA... Education... Etc.

3. Pence is along for the ride.
