Hard insights from the GOP: 'I could foresee a situation where Putin invades ... the Russian-speaking portions of Estonia and dares Trump to commit U.S. troops to push out the Russian army. In that scenario, I do not believe Trump would support invoking Art V'.
Hi All, Just released the latest instalment in one of my favorite series--A Senior Republican Speaks. The whole interview is free and this person (who understands the GOP deeply) discusses how the party is operating after four months of the latest Trump presidency.
