    At least the DNC and Republicans agree that Hillary supporters are ignorant.

    lol, you are saying the economic collapse of 2008 is a natural phenomenon. Tell that to the people who lost their houses because of this. It would not have happened if the financial industry was better regulated. Not saying this is related to HRC, but what you said about that bears no weight in your argument.

    I am not a Trump supporter, but I do believe HRC and Trump are literally the same. Trump could be outright showing his lack of intelligence when he blatantly make controversial remarks, but HRC has way too many shady business behind the curtain. Both are equally damaging to this country.

    Go watch ClintonCash, if you think that expose is just propaganda do some research and yall see everything checked out

    It has merit mainly because the ebb and flow of the nation's economy is FAR MORE DETACHED from the executive office than most people believe.

    Where Trump scares me the most is in social and foreign policy. Hillary will be FAR MORE predictable in that regard.

    These leaks are horrible and show corruption in the DNC.

    But what you just posted is nothing more than a strategy standard for any campaign from either party. It's not really scandalous at all.

    There are plenty of scandalous things in the leaks. This certainly isn't one of them.

    So far, from the Wikileaks tweets I've witnessed, the following organizations show tremendous bias favoring Clinton (over all others including Trump and Sanders)...and major questions about their integrity.

    Washington Post
    Politico
    Google
    Facebook
    Twitter
    MSNBC
    CBS News

    These organizations have a lot of explaining to do. Remember that when you "source" things from them.

    I've been saying that since May of 2015. Don't Trust the media.

    Of course its not scandalous. It merely shows the sheeple mentality of the average Democrat.

    Should I go back and find the hundreds of quotes from these same arrogant liberals who mock and laugh at conservatives for parroting Fox news and AM radio? If I recall correctly, the likes of you all belittle conservatives for not thinking for themselves.

    Not as ignorant as Trump supporters...

    Besides, I don't know many 'Hillary supporters'. I know many 'anti-Trump' supporters.

    Seriously, I really want a conservative who supports Trump to tell me what is the worst trait of Hillary Clinton and then tell me that same trait doesn't apply to Trump. What? She's a career politician who will do anything to gain power and is only in it for herself? Agree... Now, with a straight face, tell me that Donald Trump isn't a self-indulging narcissist who only does things for his own self interest.

    Does any rational Trump supporter(oxymoron?) believe he is legitimately running for president not for his own self image but for the 'greater good'?

    The mere fact that Trump was so willing to hand over the keys of the responsibilities of president to Kasich, foreign and domestic, and then choose Pence who probably has the same arrangement speaks volumes about how little he cares about actual policy as Pence and Kasich are as different ideology wise as two Republicans could get.

    Again, both parties put forward the exact same types of strategies. This doesn't show anything about steeple at all. It shows the message that the Democrats want to get out there about Trump. The GOP has a planned message they want to get out there about Hillary.

    I haven't ridiculed either party except when the message they are trying to put out there is false or inaccurate.

    You act as if there are these huge swaths of liberals who adore party politics. No one respects RNC or DNC.

    Here's an evaluation of the "leaks" from somebody who has worked a political campaign, GOP strategist (an anti-Trump one), Rick Wilson:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/catoelder">@catoelder</a> Horse****. The leaks so far are par-for-the-course generic political operations.

    They weren't that nice to Bernie, but so what? What kind of emails do you think get exchanged at the national committee of either parties anyway? Yeah, the DNC chair preferred Hillary over Bernie. Back in 2008 much of the "establishment" of the party started off in Hillary's corner and against Obama, too. And the Clintons were vicious with Obama. Obama found a way to win. Bernie didn't.

    No, pretty much anyone who is able to read Donald Trump's own words- which means if you can read English at a 6th grade level, you can understand him- can easily make these points about him.

    I watched the video included in this tweet. In the interview, Assange hints at more Clinton emails that will be released including the following:

    -Hillary overrode recommendations from Generals inside the Pentagon who were reluctant to overthrow Gaddafi in Libya. Pentagon correctly predicted a post war situation with something like ISIS taking over the country. Hillary was the "leading champion" for overthrow in Obama Administration."

    -Hints that the FBI pushed for concessions from the incoming Hillary Clinton government in exchange for not recommending indictment"

    -Suggests a double standard that Clinton has been all for prosecuting Assange and others involved with Wikileaks while failing to live up to her own duty with regards to classifying info." (this to me is the real reason Wikileaks went after her and the DNC...not some tinfoil Trump/Putin conspiracy)

    -More to come on the Clinton Foundation (didn't elaborate on what).

    I'm still waiting for some juicy leaks.

    You'd think DWS would be stepping down from something yuge hidden in that data dump, but all I hear is chatter from gossipy schoolgirls who shouldn't really talk about the other team.

    Oh, let them have their fun. They have a completely unprepared, highly vindictive candidate to support, so this must be a relief from their underlying dread of knowing their guy will be shellacked in November.

    I mean, someone who is one of the 2 candidates to become the next President and he's talking about revenge super PACs against Cruz and Kasich? How in the holy hell do you justify supporting such an immature baby like this? There is less than zero you will find in these Wikileaks that compare even remotely to the utter embarrassment that is Trump.

    Let me state that again, in case you're still deluded: your party has, as its candidate, by far the most unprepared, childish, insensitive, boorish, and ignorant person to ever run as a Presidential candidate in the 200+ year history of U.S. elections. I don't even care about the misogyny, or subtle racism- he's completely unprepared to be President, does not make any attempt that he wants to be, and hinges his entire chance on his "outsider" theme.

    Well, any intelligent person will tell you that you don't hire a novice for the office of President. It's a silly idea that people float out there- "Hey, let's elect an outsider- he will COMPLETELY change how things are done in Washington!!" Uh, newsflash: no, he won't. If anything, he'll make it worse. Even in corporate America, a company might hire a CEO from another industry to run their company, but they don't hire someone who hasn't been a C-level executive. It's a stupid idea, this whole outsider nonsense, and anyone that has a smattering of knowledge about how the U.S. government works knows that.

    Here's my new phrase: I wouldn't hire Hillary Clinton to run my company, and I wouldn't hire Donald Trump to run my country.
