NBC poll: 50% of Republicans, 73% of young Republicans see Russia as an “ally” or “friendly”

Had this poll been taken before the primaries, my guess is that Republicans overwhelmingly would have seen Russia as our sworn enemy.  After the election, though, having all come home like good little soldiers to their Republican candidate, they have no choice but to think that either they lost their minds and voted to put an unstable, dangerously ignorant, and deeply disturbed man-child into the most powerful office in the world – or Russia isn’t so bad after all.
