No. Trump supporters obviously doesn't care if Trump aligns with Russia.
But a lot of people in the US and around really do care about this alliance and Trump's cheerleading for Putin and Russia.
But really, why don't you care?

Wapo:
Joe Walsh, a pugnacious former congressman, is preparing a Republican primary challenge to President Trump that he previewed as a daily “bar fight” with the incumbent over his morality and competency.
Mark Sanford, a former South Carolina governor and congressman, said he is inching closer to a bid of his own by sounding out activists in New Hampshire and other early-voting states about an insurgency focused on the ballooning deficit.
Jeff Flake, a former Arizona senator and Trump antagonist, said he has taken a flurry of recruitment calls in recent days from GOP donors rattled by signs of an economic slowdown and hungry for an alternative to Trump.
And former Ohio governor John Kasich will head to New Hampshire next month to “take a look at things” after experiencing “an increase” in overtures this summer, an adviser said.
Joe Walsh is a nobody, Flake is kind of a loser, and Sanford is a disgraced former South Carolina governor (anyone remember his "hiking trips" on the "Appalachian Trail"?). I could see Kasich though. He seems reasonable but I believe his track record with women's rights legislation isn't great in Ohio if I recall correctly. Plus he still runs on the whole "balanced budget" thing which most people realize is kind of a dumb idea for a country after they pass sophomore year of college.
the point is that disenchantment with Spankypants is spreading - his unhinged talk is getting to people, and the disastrous polling is scaring the wits out of some people in the GOP.
Scaramucci still thinks Trump will stare down the barrel of a giant loss and walk away. I hope that is the case, although the best solution is for him to get beaten very very badly and maybe have the senate flip. That would teach a lesson to the GOP.

It would need to be Flake or Kashich. The others would need to get out of the way.
I think Flake would be the stronger candidate. People remember his thoughtfulness and compassion during the Kavanaugh hearings. They remember Kasich for losing to Tiny in 2016.
Tiny would still win. But it could get interesting if states like California are able to keep Tiny off the primary ballot for not releasing his tax returns.

This is not good news for Trump. Scaramucci should have been honest with himself about Trump sooner, but now is better than never. Scaramucci is a smart articulate guy, and it means a lot for him to turn against Trump.
Trump is going to continue to have almost unfettered bad news coming from now on, ending with a prison door shutting behind him.

Do you think Bernie may have beaten Trump in 2016?
A lot of people voted for Trump because of a strong dislike for Hillary and a lot of Bernie supporters did not vote for Hillary or Trump.
I don't think so, no. Sanders was never campaigned against, really. We can see in this primary season that he has a committed but relatively small base and has never been able to get it to grow. Add in campaigning about his attraction to soviet society and forgiveness of murderous tyrants, his jewishness, his old age, his being outside the mainstream...and he would have had a very tough time in the general.
He is basically never really campaigned against...

Now is not the time to be talking about polls.
Harry Reid, says the Democrats are committing political suicide with their "Medicare for all" and decriminalizing border crossings. He said, "Americans want a fair immigration system, they don't want an open invitation for all to come at once."
That's pretty bad when Harry Reid thinks your party is too left wing. He's right.
I'm happy to watch you Dems self-destruct.

Trump has what my Chinese wife calls "bling-bling eyes." Those are the dead giveaway eyes someone makes that make is obvious how much they want something. There is no need to negotiate a lower price with a "bling-bling eyes" person; they will overpay. And Trump has overpaid for property in the past because he gives away to the seller how much he wants it.
Trump agrees with a lunatic poster that he is the 2nd coming of God. Not 2nd coming of Jesus, but God.
President Trump on Wednesday shared a quote attributed to a right-wing radio host who said Jews in Israel view the president as "the second coming of God."

This is just noise. Trump's going to be the nominee and there's no one who can put together a 3rd party run.

I don't know that Bernie would have won or not however, his supporters who are very active may have stayed away which probably hurt Clinton. The same issue could arise again in 2020. The progressives operate almost as a 3rd party.

There have been many people who have underestimated Trump in the past. They don't understand that he took a small pittance from his dad and converted it into a multi-trillion worldwide empire. Trump properties span the globe. He has gotten the upper-hand on pretty much everyone on which he has negotiated with. Ask Hillary about the Donald. The was the overwhelming favorite to win the presidency. Where is she now? I would even not want to know the answer to that question. Trump is a genius businessman. He is Midas. Do NOT nogotiate with him because you WILL be burned.

Assuming he isn't impeached and removed first or that he decides not to run, you are right that he will be the nominee. BUT, that's not the end all be all.
When you are the incumbent and you have at least one serious challenger in your own party in the primary:
1) Shows some disapproval in the party about your governing.
2) Gives a voice to that candidate about how bad the incumbent is that will be listened to by some in the party who would just ignore negatives from the opposing party.
3) Makes the incumbent spend time and money fighting the in-party challenger when they'd rather focus on the other party.
4) It is one of the 13 keys that is against the incumbent.
Trump lost a billion dollars that his daddy gave him.
Look at his 1990s tax returns.

And he is worth $3.1 BILLION today. Not only is he a genius businessman but he is resilient as well. Quite the tandem.

You said that he would never finish his term. You said that quite clearly. NOW, you are saying he WILL be the nominee? Are you just clueless on EVERYTHING? You said he would never finish his term but now saying he WILL be the nominee. What kind of clown are you Flagpole? You have to be a troll and a very bad one at that. What Happened to "Mueller is coming" and "The clown is done?" You quit saying that? You said that for 2 years. What happened? What kind of clown are you?

I almost have sympathy for him when you look at certain photos, like above. Not the fake smile and thumbs up photos but the moments he’s captured alone with his thoughts, he looks utterly miserable.

Exactly.
The progressives don't get through the primary.
Your saying they never win major elections is moot because they are never on the ballot.
Ummm... ever heard of George McGovern?
