EXCERPT:
TAPPER: "One might think such a point need not be made, but Vladimir Putin, a former KGB official with blood on his hands, who regularly sides with American adversaries, both rhetorically and with arms, and who right now has at least two Americans, Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan, unjustly detained, Vladimir Putin is not a credible source of information about American democracy, much less American jurisprudence. Vladimir Putin seeks to undermine the United States and its allies, whether in Europe or Asia or the Middle East. And yet, despite this, or maybe by now because of it — I can no longer tell — Mr. Trump stands poised to do very well in the Republican Iowa caucuses on January 15, in less than a month. He has only expanded his lead, where his campaign is taking a more disciplined and unexpected approach to the caucuses."
