Rank-and-file Republicans are more concerned about leaks to the media of conversations between Trump advisers and the Russian government than they are about the conversations themselves, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released Wednesday.
The poll, conducted between Feb. 16 and Feb. 20, shows how President Donald Trump has shifted opinions within the party of Ronald Reagan, where national security has been a top issue since the Cold War, said Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia.
Republicans have now put a higher priority on their partisan identification and support for their current leader than principles they have had for many decades, Sabato said. We live in such a polarized era.
Trump asked his national security adviser Michael Flynn to resign this month after news organizations reported he had discussed U.S. sanctions with a Russian diplomat while Barack Obama was still president.

They should admit that they are -
1.) "The Party of Ayn Rand"
2.) "The Party of Rush Limbaugh"
3.) "The Party of Vladimir Putin"
