“No previous president could have gotten away with even a tenth of the things that Donald Trump has,” Ron Reagan, a veteran liberal commentator, said on MSNBC’s “Hardball with Chris Matthews.”

According to a new Gallup poll, 40 percent of Republicans believe Russia is either friendly or an ally to the United States. That’s up from only 22 percent in 2012.
Reagan blamed this new support for Putin on Trump.
“If you look at the polls, Putin’s popularity has gone way up,” he said. “I swear to you that if it were left just up to Donald Trump’s base, they would elect Vladimir Putin as president of the United States over virtually anybody with a ‘D’ after their name.”
