    Even if they are personal emails there could still be a lot of damaging and embarrassing things in there.

    I doubt there are many who would be OK with their personal emails being put out for public consumption.

    As JeffB noted earlier, there is evidence that the emails have been edited as well. Why the F is Trump so trusting that all this stuff is 100% genuine? "Coz coz . . . some unknown hacker said so!"

    If there's a dirty trick, why not doctor the emails as well?

    Most of that is definitely her being dishonest. I don't think it's more than what Trump has done, but I guess we are talking about minute differences where honesty is concerned.

    So even if they are both horribly dishonest, she's still a far better prospect for President, IMHO. That being said, I still won't vote for her.

    Don't care for Clinton. But care that my country does not elect a fear-mongering, racist demagogue for the Oval Office. For that reason, and because the Democratic Party is taking a stand against what Trump represents, I will vote for Clinton.

    I want a future where we have better options for the highest office in the land. But I won't be apart of Trump getting elected. My conscience wouldn't bear it. Trump invited Russia to conduct espionage against the United Stares government, the Sexretary of State, and a presidential candidate so Trump can win the election.

    I agree that Trump is a head case and Clinton is probably a better candidate.

    But have you considered for a moment that there are a good 100 million struggling Americans that are not affected and will never be affected by an empty invitation from Trump, and they care more about the repercussions of a trade agreement like the TPP? Do you know how many hacking attempts there are every day and that these hackers do not ever give up and they do not ever try less than their best to get it done?

    This invitation thing is not a real issue man. No one is more likely to hack anything just because Trump said so. It's not ever going to make a difference to anyone. No one is sitting around doing nothing and just now going to do this explicitly for Trump. The only thing that will happen is the next hacker who's going to get caught - an inevitable scenario - Hillary will blame it on Trump. That's all.

    Meanwhile there are real issues out there that IMO should carry more weight. There are people's real lives at stake every day and this particular political soap opera has no effect on them whatsoever.

    After the highly embarrassing wiki-leaking his party took, folks like Jeff are left with nothing but crumbs like this to run with. I don't like Trump either for saying stuff like this but the real reason Dems are trying to deflect to Trump is they know deep down they are backing a crook who likely committed crimes while in office.

    The world is embarrassed, except for Russia and North Korea, that a man like Donald Trump has been nominated so you may to check yourself lest you wreck yourself.

    And let's just be honest, you don't need wikileaks to know that the GOP is just as unhappy about Trump. So enjoy it while you can before the debates happen and Trump finally buries himself.

    So the world checked in with you, huh? Did they share why they would be embarrassed about a candidate for a presidential election for a country that they don't live in? Please ask how they would feel about a candidate who destroyed evidence and then lied to mislead the FBI and the public during an FBI investigation over her potential crimes while she held public office. Also ask about her appointing someone to a campaign position who was running the DNC and accused of rigging an election in her favor after she had stepped down in disgrace. Jeff would say becuause Hillary wanted it to die down but why an innocent person not want justice for the people who donated money to Sanders campaign thinking he had a fair shot.

    Anyway, it's quite a coup to get someone so connected to amongst us. Please keep us updated.

    There's this thing called the internet that let's one read opinions and news of places across oceans....


    America is pretty influential globally and lots of actions here echo abroad....

    Do you not understand how much of an grandstanding idiot Trump is?

    Hillary would have lost this election automatically if not for Trump.

    You older generation folks just haven't caught up to the internet phenomenon. Bless your heart.

    We all know it was stupid to say. Trump himself has walked it back already...but when it comes to the 30,000 emails themselves, the Clinton campaign has no legs to stand on.

    We already know the type of information that might be in those emails, that is very relevant. We have the email she sent to Chelsea during Benghazi indicating that her official stance wasn't what really happened. There are likely other such emails, where she has stated things in personal correspondence that disagree what what she has communicated in her official correspondence.

    You didn't need to tell me that you are young and naive. That's pretty obvious with the shallow thought in your posts. You will get wiser as you get older and begin to think more rationally. Well unless you become a middle aged hippie or someone who likes to pretend to be down with the young crowd who like to rage against the machine. The DNC has already stated they have a bunch of sheep as supporters. Pay attention. I'd say they owe you an apology but well they nailed it.

    Send me the links to where all these countries posted that they are embarrassed because of Donald Trump. Again they don't live here so maybe what you meant to say is they are embarrassed for us. Still need proof of that but because you are young and naive I will give you a chance to save face.


    I don't like Trump either. Not going to vote for him because of that. The thing is, if there is evidence of Hillary committing a crime in office that needs to come out before votes are cast. If she gets elected, the clock will likely ticking until she gets impeached.

    So, a comment made in jest, as compared to...actually subjugating U.S. interests to achieve personal gain? If this is your stance, and your standard, then there is absolutely no way you could possibly vote for Hillary, and you would instead be arguing that she be brought up on treason charges. Not for any silly comment she made, but for things that she and the Clinton foundation actually did.

    Fair point, but my position would depend on how serious I thought they were. I would probably arrive at the same conclusion I have with some of the stupid comments Biden has said, which is "Hey, that's a stupid comment, but it doesn't really mean much"

    What Trump was doing was planting a seed that there is probably info in her personal emails that contradicts things she has said officially, or which indicates other problems, like perhaps with the Clinton foundation, while at the same time having a jibe at those who are claiming that maybe he and the hacker were in cahoots.

    There probably IS a LOT of damaging information in her 'personal' emails. Why do you think she went through all this trouble in setting these servers up? She KNEW it would be a potential issue, especially when she inquired about the system Obama had set up, was told what policies she would have to follow if she had them set it up for her, and refused. She decided that all this flak was better than having anyone have access to her emails. Why? Because what was in some of those emails was far more damaging than any issues from having a personal email server. That's really the only conclusion one can draw.

    Young but not naïve. The issue is personal responsibility and not enough folks adapting to a changing world. The heavy manufacturing left in the 70s and 80s and returned amusingly after NAFTA with a resurgence in the South and Texas.

    Not enough people are prepared for a more specialized and technical economy. They didn't listen to Obama 8 years ago and wasted 8 years.

    Trump could be found guilty of fraud from Trump University or merely become disgraced from paying out all those settlements related to not paying employees, contractors, and investors.

    After bragging for months on end that the Republican party was dead, these blind followers of the Democratic Party just got b**** slapped.

    Both parties allowed a flawed candidate to get this far. The problem for Liberals is they nominated one that very likely committed criminal acts while in office and the FBI has stated with the current evidence known to us was extremely careless with a high probability that sensitive information was hacked because of her minimal efforts to protect the information.

    It's hilarious to watch them grasp at straws

    Sure, I agree that's hilarious, but what isn't hilarious is that we are faced to decide between voting for the embodiment of everything that is wrong with our government (Hillary) and voting for the embodiment of everything that is wrong with our culture (Trump). It's horrifying that one of those two national embarrassments will be the next POTUS.

    Ok, we can agree that not many people listened to Obama the past 8 years. You are unhappy and I'm not being the difference.

    Didn't see where all those countries said that they were embarrassed though. Again that makes no sense.

    Even if he loses the civil lawsuit that doesn't make him a criminal and certainly not someone who committed a crime while holding public office. You understand the difference right.
