I agree.
Putin would not want a Reagan or JFK type of President in power. Trump has zero political experience, so Putin may believe he could manipulate him in some ways.

Right. Not necessarily bully, but 'get to do what he wants.'
Sometimes you want an enemy that will take a big game, but does so very predictably, so you can poke them whenever you want a distraction. Or heck, maybe he thinks he can make deals with him. Or he thinks Trump'll distract the UN and other countries away from Russia/people'll team up with Russia in response to Trump's moves.
It doesn't make sense for someone to support someone they feat regardless. His endorsement of Trump shows he's not worried about Trump getting the seat, because that'd make the opposite of sense.

Not at all. What you are implying is because Putin said he likes trump that's a bad thing. When the Leader of Iran told Barack Obama to essential **** off👆
Crazy how you guys spin things.

Putin already punked Obama in Syria a few years ago too. Obama is the type to let any bully take his lunch money.

You've got things mixed up there. The leader of Iran told Bush to **** off. He made a deal with Barack Obama.
Crazy how you spin things 😉

Trump getting manipulated is the last thing that would happen.
I don't think Trump will back down from Putin, but I don't believe Trump will be a god of foreign policy either. I'm conservative all the way, but I don't care for any of the candidates running this election.

While the deal was going on he published a book on how defeat Israel and outsmart Obama.😂
Obama could not even get our prisoners out of he deal.
He's a total pansy.

So in your personal views: Putin endorsing Trump = Good (for Trump) and Iran not supporting Obama = Bad (for Obama). You weird, brah.
Anyhow, the logic of Putin wanting what's in the best interest of America is not sound, while the cold war is "officially" over, the US and Russia are very much rivals.
To get away from the Putin nonsense, newer poll is showing what has been predicted awhile back. Trump is pretty much idling (at first) at this point,
Forget who (think either Q99 or OV, maybe both) mentioned before that if either Cruz or Rubio drop out, the remaining guy will pick up enough points to challenge Trump. If the 3rd or 4th place runner drops too, then the remaining top candidate will surpass trump.
Still waiting for realclear to update, they haven't since 12/14

So how does Putin respecting Trump=Bad
You can respect your enemies and work on becoming friends.
And Iran disrespecting Obama after giving them everything=Good
Iran laughs at Obama as does Putin.

Agreed. I'm reminded when dear comrade rockstar Obama tossed that zinger about the conservative candidates not being able to handle China and Russia because of how they whined about the MSNBC moderators. Ol' Vlady sure is crafty in this regard.
