I am quite certain China and Russia could not be happier.

Asked whether “you believe or not believe Donald Trump’s claims he won the 2020 presidential election,” 51% of likely Republican caucusgoers say they believe them, 41% do not and 8% are unsure.
Among self-identified Republicans, factoring out the independents, Democrats and members of other parties who say they plan to caucus with the GOP, the portion who believe Trump’s claims is even higher, 60%, while 33% do not.
Those beliefs linger despite the lack of evidence of substantial voter fraud in the 2020 election and dozens of court cases in which judges, some of whom Trump appointed, threw out fraud claims....
The Trump propaganda networks, including Tucker Carlson, have been very successful in lying to Americans. This is a poll of the Iowa Republicans, but, what is a poll of the general public.
I am sorry, but, in scanning the field of Republican candidates this year, the ONLY person anyone should consider to be a legitimate candidate with any real interest in the USA is the Former Governor Chris Christi. He is the only one that deserves and has earned the respect of Americans. I don't care what the political differences are, he has been an honorable member of this society and he is a candidate worthy of consideration. The only one as far as I am concerned even close to being called a competent authority on governance.
