Russia is Christian, White, they hate gays, they hate abortion. Evangelicals love Russia. Trump's connections to Russia is all good in GOP Gerrymanderland.
Do evangelicals and the GOP base voters love Russia enough to support "Trumpcare"?

"To be sure, there are different avenues of Russia’s appeal for both the Religious Right and white nationalists in the U.S. For the American Religious Right, as detailed below, Putin is the foremost defender of nominally “traditional,” and nominally Christian, values. For white nationalists, Putin—via both his illiberalism and anti-Western bent—remains a political polestar, whose authoritarian model should be implemented within the U.S. And such support didn’t arise in a vacuum. Since he returned to the presidency in 2012, Putin has made a concerted effort to establish his country as a center for religious, especially Christian, conservatives throughout the world, most notably for those who oppose any legal or public support for same-sex relationships. This shift has taken the form of legislation that prioritizes the interests of the Russian Orthodox Church, that rolls back abortion rights, and that sidelines attempts within the LGBT community to obtain any kind of societal acceptance. Even Moscow’s ban on Americans adopting Russian children managed to gain support within the U.S.’s far-right, with anti-equality Christian activists praising Putin’s move as one that would prevent children from living with same-sex parents."

How America's Right-Wing Fell in Love with Putin and Moscow
By Casey Michel / Right Wing Watch March 8, 2017, 10:18 AM GMTHow does the Trump 💞Putin affair play in GOP base gerrymander land?
Will it translate into MORE support for "Trumpcare"?
I think it will. But not all Republicans are in completely safe gerrymander zones. And many Senators are in "purple" states.
Republicans aren't sure. They're pushing for a vote on "Trumcare" next week.
The Young Turks are taking this seriously, but not seriously enough. White nationalists have been planning for generations. Russia now plays a major part in world wide white supremacy. The Whitehouse is filled with white supremacists. Most of the Republicans in DC are white supremacists. But Republicans are only supporting their white supremacist base.
