    it doensn't matter waht "wikileaks" likes...the issue here is Trump's affinity for Russia/Putin, and the Russia/Putin's affinity for Trump.

    Russia would love a Trump presidency. Shame they had to resort to hacking and releasing the DNC emails showing off the cuff emails.

    There are plenty of reasons to prefer Hillary to Trump, and plenty of reasons to dislike Trump more than Hillary...

    But Trump is not the most friendly candidate to foreign, corrupt, violence loving autocrats in the world.

    The next time there's a CGI event, you should try to get in backstage and watch the Clintons laughing it up with autocrats they've been friends with for decades. She is friends with these people, she has dined at their private homes, she has hosted them at her homes. They are a variety of people from various places.

    Just to reiterate again, to me, Hillary is simply a better human being than Trump. I don't doubt that. But if we're going to focus on an area, befriending brutal dictators is more of a Hillary thing, not a Trump thing.

    Befriending Putin and Russia is a Trump thing, and a Putin thing, considering the mutuality of the relationship, hence this thread.

    Absolutely. But what's the context here? Why does it matter if Trump and Putin are madly in love with each other if not to assess how that's bad for the country? The alternative is Hillary, and Hillary has a similar love affair with several people who are exactly like Putin.

    Listen I get that this is fun because of the right's recent affinity for being overly paranoid about Putin and Russia. But it's a really meaningless thing in the grand scheme of Trump vs Hillary, the only purpose it serves is ratings for the media.

    It's not going to get Hillary elected. I know Trump knows what I'm telling you because he was there, he was invited by Hillary (yes Hillary, not Bill), and he probably donated to the foundation. That's why she's not as vocal about it as her fans are. She knows what happens if she goes down that rabbit hole.

    She's focusing on the various areas where she is actually a superior candidate to Trump. And there are lot of areas where she's superior to Trump.

    Look at naive Sam Fisher flailing to justify the DNC's atrocious rigging of the primary. His genius logic: "hey look, let me try to spin this by saying Russia is behind it! That will be just the trick to excuse the DNC's shameful behavior!"

    Desperation.

    So you're ok with the corruption proven in these emails because Russia possibly is responsible for these leaks? Who gives a **** who's responsible for the leaks? Corruption is corruption, and it was exposed at the highest level of the Democratic party. On top of that, the best leaks are supposedly still to come, and they will likely force an indictment of Clinton.

    Its the height of hypocrisy for the Hillary campaign to talk about how dangerous Trump's relationship with Putin is when....

    1. Obama laughed off Romney's answer about the biggest geopolitical threat being Russia in the 2012 presidential debates. Remember that?

    2. Clinton's "reset button" brought us the Russian takeover of the Crimea and threatening of the Ukraine.

    Obama can't hold Romney's jock strap in terms of competence.

    Factually inaccurate.

    Romney is a Mormon, they don't wear jock straps, they wear specially blessed underwear.

    Yes, as a DNC donor I am very happy that the DNC recognized Sanders as a solipsistic turd.

    Very happy also that our next president is she who Putin fears most.

    Take your ass whippin like a man. Your gay joke isn't funny or clever. You're one of the ignorant people the DNC was referring to. Save what's left of your dignity and just shut up

    This isnt a joke, it's from a street in Vilnius, Lithuania.

    One of the NATO allies your boy Trump has repudiated in favor of Putin's Russia.

    I do see how it would upset you though.

    Displays of dissent are the type of things that Putin and Trump have vowed to crush.

    pitiful trolling from Sam.

    Sam is struggling to see what has become of Hillary and the DNC.

    LOL I know: u can always trust hackers to tell u the truth straight out! Someone who hacked an American political party would never lie to Wikileaks!

    I'm guessing Trump is the gonorrhea.
