    The only way I can figure it is he has dirt on everyone. Remember the russians hacked the DNC and RNC email servers but only released info from the Dems.

      I don’t buy that argument. That would only make sense if Republican voters actually care about “dirt” and would not vote for a politician who was tainted. But obviously we know that’s not the case. Republicans who have been accused of everything from embezzling money to grooming children have done just as well in their elections, because their voters would still prefer a crooked Republican over the most saintly Democrat.

      I used to work a couple blocks away from Trump tower. Right across the street is UN plaza. I have thought for a looong time now that Trump put cameras in rooms to get dirt on powerful people.

      Putin owns the dirt. Trump was shown just enough to keep him in line and he’s the primary conduit through which the GOP is controlled. Look at Lindsey Graham’s flip to Team Trump. I believe that Trump showed some of Putin’s kompromat to Graham and Lindsey decided to switch allegiances both to keep his career and further his own goals.
