Donald Trump lavishes praise on 'leader' Putin

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump on Friday praised Vladimir Putin and appeared to defend the autocratic Russian president when pressed about his alleged killing of journalists and political opponents critical of his rule.

One day after Putin called Trump a "bright and talented" and the "absolute leader of the presidential race," the Republican presidential front-runner returned the compliments, hailing Putin as a "leader" and pointing to his high favorability numbers in Russia.
"He's running his country and at least he's a leader, unlike what we have in this country," Trump said when asked by "Morning Joe" Republican host Joe Scarborough about Putin's alleged killing of journalists and political opponents.

"I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe, so you know. There's a lot of stupidity going on in the world right now, a lot of killing, a lot of stupidity," he said.

Seen as full quotes, it's not quite a bromance.
 
The Lefties are falling right in line with the Putin narrative.

"Putin has tried to leverage US democracy against itself, criticizing the Electoral College system of deciding elections. "There is no true democracy there," he said at the Valdai Discussion Club, "and you are trying to convince us that we are not (democratic)?"

I do not care what Putin says about US elections, or what the US says about Russian elections -all I care about is how the countries interact

Of course, you have your priorities straight.

But the State media wants to push the Putin "America's fake election' narrative as the top story ... for months now.

From trump's own words.

“Great move on delay (by V. Putin) - I always knew he was very smart!” Trump tweeted.

“If (Putin) says great things about me, I'm going to say great things about him,” Trump said. “I've already said, he is really very much of a leader.” Trump also cited Putin’s high approval rating among Russians, a score that is likely artificially inflated.

it's an insidious narrative, and with the CIA now investigating Flynn's phone calls to some Russian minister -
it feels like McCartyism time again
