Would it be a bad thing to develop a de facto alliance with Russian at this point?

Great idea! Why didn't Obama and Hillary think of it, they could have offered Russia a "reset."

There is evidently no absurdity which Trump supporters will not indulge in order to rationalize the obvious deficiencies of Donald Trump.

Putting aside the preposterous nature of this policy, the real question is do you want a president of the United States deciding foreign policy based on a very myopic understanding of the world, entirely circumscribed by his business dealings?

Where does the vaunted "patriotism" of the great Donald Trump leave off and cupidity begin?

We should be allied with Russia instead of Al Qaida. Putin is the only world leader interested in saving Christendom. What a sorry state.

I don’t follow this.

We were absolute enemies of Germany and Japan in WWII. After we destroyed Germany and Japan, we became their allies.

Russia today is not the Soviet Union anymore. The technically lost the cold war (although the USA squandered that victory with the piece dividends).

A new relationship should be explored.

“Great idea! Why didn’t Obama and Hillary think of it, they could have offered Russia a “reset.””

That was nothing more than a cynical way of insulting Bush, who actually did have friendly relations with Russia. When Bush was here, Russia sent a 9/11 statue memorial. More substantially we were given free use of a former Soviet airbase for logistical support to Afghanistan. That’s as in FREE, with no lease, no nothing. Just handed us the keys.
They let us move by rail completely across Russia when the Pakistani land routes were under attack.

To Hillary and Obama, reset was an attack on Bush. They then got busy with the homosexual advocacy and using NGOs to forment street rabble in Russia. The goal was actually a giant pro EU color revolution there.
And now we have a new cold war.

No, there was no “reset” offered.

I think Trump and his business mentality is precisely what we need.

Looks like most of new York State was also wrong.

The list keeps growing.

Pretty soon, most of the voting public will be wrong.

A few intelligent ones may still be found, who will of course still be right.
