    No, I wouldn't. I'm not a Hillary supporter. Her server had security. As of now there is no evidence that her server was hacked at all. It may have been, but there's no evidence of it. The state department server where we she should have kept the information was definitely hacked. The white house server was definitely hacked.

    I've said before and I'll say again, it's wrong and ridiculous of her to have put information on her own server.

    We don't know if anybody has those emails. We don't know that Russia already has them.

    If the server where she was supposed to house her email was hacked, it wouldn't be her fault, since she kept them on a private email server without full time security it is her fault if it got hacked......and due to the lack of full time security, we'll never know if it got hacked or not unless someone who hacked her does a data dump of information not already released.

    Someone that incompetent should never again have access to classified information at any level.....and she wouldn't if not for being elected. Without being elected to a spot requiring security clearance, there's no chance she'd ever get it.

    Trump never invited any outsiders to hack us. He invited them to hack Hillary. And if she is dumb enough to use a non-government email system, that's on her.

    Trump never advocated for any foreign power to do anything to any U.S government system.

    Today I learned Hillary Clinton isn't an American citizen protected but he rights of the United States of America.

    Tell me what you think about online movie piracy?

    So you think it's cool for Presidential candidates to encourage foreign governments to hack US citizens' private info?

    It was off the cuff sarcasm by Trump. But even if he were being serious, yes, I have no problem with it.

    Don't want to get hacked? Upgrade your security measures. The onus is on the one who has data worth protecting.

    Trump didn't ask Russia to hack hillary.

    He's only stated that the emails were lost, and if Russia found it, to please return them to the FBI.

    Wait, you don't have a problem with foreign governments hacking top secret information?

    How far does your "onus is on the one..." mindset go? Do you have a problem with foreigners killing American troops? Or is the onus on the US to protect them and if not, oh well?

    Nope. One of them is absolutely non presidential. The other has great respect from world leaders and from.... GOP leaders when they weren't campaigning. Everyone know it except for Clinton haters.

    He's probably the type that says, "if you don't wanna get raped, you shouldn't wear revealing clothing"

    I don't like Hillary Clinton, but it is a false equivalency to put her and Trump in the same category as each other and say "screwed either way."

    To use a Bobbythegreat classic, Brian Hoyer is a bad quarterback but you'd rather him playing for your pro team than the local 7th grader.

    The mental gymnastics required to defend this walking, talking suit full of orange jello are Rio 2016-worthy. Bravo, everybody.

    Absolutely. There is a real clear choice here.

    It is astonishing to me that there are actually some idiots in this forum who are defending Trump. He is constantly sucking up to an oligarch who has had his opposition muzzled or murdered. Yet Mr. Trump admires Putin. Perhaps someone can explain this admiration Trump has for Putin, or the admiration he has for Erdogan, or the admiration he has for North Korea's little tinpot dictator with nuclear weapons. It is somewhere beyond bizarre.

    1. If it was off the cuff sarcasm, he would have made one comment about it. He kept saying it over and over and over again. That isn't how sarcasm is delivered.

    2. If it actually was sarcasm, then Trump should drop out of the race. It only shows he has no understanding of the kind of discipline that is required from the leader of the most powerful nation in the world.

    No that's not what he said. He said he hopes they get the emails and that they would be reported greatly if they did, by the press. That isn't turning them over to the FBI.

    He also said he hopes they have them because he'd like to see them.

    That isn't turning them over to the FBI.

    He later tried to walk it back by saying that he wanted them turned over to the FBI. When that didn't fly he came out with his sarcasm defense.

    Please don't be fooled so easily.

    I wouldn't say Trump admires Putin. I would say it appears that way because, unlike our current shortsighted joke of a president, Trump holds no particular contempt towards Putin.

    Obama has alienated Russia, who should currently be our most prominent ally in the war on Islamic terror. Why this idiotic administration chooses to paint Russia as the enemy puzzles me.

    Thankfully, Russia had the balls to stand up to Obama's threats and take action in Syria to help support it's secularist president.

    If Obama had his way, Russia would have done nothing and ISIS would be in control of Damascus by now. It really appears that's what Obama wants. One more secular president gone in favor of islamic radicals.
