I thought the Repubs were hard on Obama by imposing constant gridlock in Congress for the last 6 years of his term. The Democrats have turned out to be far worse and very poor losers. They're pulling out all the stops, going so far as to make stuff up, all in the hopes of stopping Trump's agenda.
There have always been back channel communications between the US and Russia .... Always! Without them we likely would not have made it through the cold war era. The Democrats continually imply that Trump or people in his inner circle are somehow secret Russian agents working against American interests and it's simply not true. 
If America is to defeat our greatest threat (Islamic terrorism), Russian assistance will be needed just as it was needed to defeat Hitler in WWII. Not since Hitler has the world seen such evil, and as we did then the world needs to come together and wipe this Islamic terrorist scourge from the face of the earth.
Trump is not wrong about that.
