You are destroying yourself and your ambitions.

Romney called it. He was ridiculed for it and in his second term Obama had to deal with russia in the Ukraine and Syria not to mention dealing with their influence in Asia.

Now the election. Romney called it and we mocked him and as punishment we get trump.

Maybe we will be smarter next time.
