Gerald Graff w/ Ali Velshi tonight on "The Last Word" -- MSNBC (MS NOW)...
Graff: Americans wrongly believe we'd go "from democracy to authoritarianism" in one moment...
Graff mentioned that the US has felt different the past week or two... but cannot pinpoint a particular
reason or incident for this change.
I would propose Krasnov's meeting w/ Putin as the driver for this sea change... Krasnov pretty much
gave Vlad the keys to the car, the house + all the safe deposit boxes during their meeting in Alaska...
Krasnov's abject failure as a leader was on display for all the world to see... + Putin knew + reveled in it...
