Trust in our democracy. Confidence in our political process. Emboldening our adversaries. We gave up a lot with nothing in return. |

Confidence in our political process.
Who has confidence in our political process? How did Trump damage our political process at the summit? Hasn't confidence in our political process been degraded over time by costly, ill conceived or unnecessary wars, judicial debasement of the Constitution, media hype-exaggeration-lies, ugly and fallacious party bickering and accusations? Unsustainable national debt? What did Trump do at the summit that destroyed your confidence in our political process?
Emboldening our adversaries. We gave up a lot with nothing in return.

Our adversaries were not emboldened before the summit? Do you, or they, believe that, because of the summit, they can attack us any more than they did before the summit?

He must have got something for nothing
“Well, I think we’re really doing well with Russia as of today,” Trump said. “I thought we were doing horrible before today. Really, I mean horribly. Dangerously.”
“It was that big? It was that dramatic today?” Hannity asked.
“Oh, I thought it was great today,” Trump said. “But I thought it was really bad five hours ago.”

Show time. Politics is the grand circus of illusory optics. |

Well, if nothing else the Russian hacking did expose the widespread corruption inside the Democratic party to get Clinton nominated.
This should be the real turning point.
I'm not condoning the hacking - but we also shouldn't ignore that fact just because it was illegally done by a foreign entity.
