cant believe people still think trump can win.
wow.

No one thinks he can win now. The point of this thread is to dishonestly blame the media or some conspiracy so Republicans don't think that the party has to reconsider the white nationalist approach. Gotta keep the rubes riled up so you can raise funds, get views for CT sites, etc.

Reading through these is surreal and I can't but feel like it's an extreme violation of privacy.

Anything Trump is fair game though?

DS (the guy you're responding to) is actually one of the biggest Trump supporters here.

seriously? he needs to be hammering her with this stuff

someone suggesting buying prime time and reading the emails...sounds good to me

this jerry springer bullshit needs to stop, he needs to spend some time and figure out something about foreign policy. I swear you could train a parrot to repeat his whole campaign to this point

Apparently Trump designated time to reading some of them publicly.

More than half of Trump's 51-minute speech in an outdoor amphitheater consisted of new material, courtesy of fresh Wikileaks revelations that came from a hack attack on her campaign chairman John Podesta's private email account.

---

'Speaking in secret to a foreign bank, again just revealed, Hillary said "My dream is a hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders",' Trump said, quoting a digest of previously undisclosed transcripts of speeches she delivered on Wall Street for an average of $225,000 each.

'Well, there goes the rest of your businesses. And there goes your country, folks,' he fumed as a helicopter buzzed overhead flashing a 'Make America Great Again' message on its underbelly.

'Behind closed doors when she thought no one was listening, she pledged to dissolve the borders of the United States of America. No borders!'

'If you don't have borders, we don't have a country,' said a suddenly sullen Trump.

Cowards will die first. Must be a shitty feeling to be a part of that group

You would be hiding behind me , I'm many things but a coward isn't one of them , exactly the opposite actually.

I find it bizarre that so many are cheering on a foreign government trying to influence the US election.

Strange days indeed

Her comments came from before the Ukraine invasion and before Russia started directly supporting Assad militarily (while ignoring ISIS).
Meanwhile Trump doesn't even realize that Russia already invaded Ukraine.

And before Russia started interfering with the election that the Democrats have been trying to tamper.

Fair game considering how many governments the united states has straight up toppled

Hard to argue with that , I'm sure Putin is straight up loving this , he is actually playing this brilliantly imo

This in a nutshell

Also ironic that in this case the foreign country who's influence they are welcoming is basically an authoritarian state... while the people who welcome it are most likely are the pro "freedom" type folk.

seriously lol. I cant believe people don't want the truth, when in the past we have fucked over and destabilized many regions with covert ops and schemes. Now these places are war zones or belong to the drug trade.

If our enemy wants to point out the traitors within our own ranks I say let them. Having the traitors exposed can only be good thing for us.

But if course there is no evidence that Russia I'd behind the leaks. Just a bunch of Red scare fear mongering.

Putting your head in the sand when it comes to the content of the emails is cowardly.

What is supposed to be so offensive about the contents? Seems like obvious political stuff. No evidence of any wrongdoing of any kind that I've seen. The Russians probably assumed that there would be something good there, but they came up short. Now the bigger story is that they're trying to install an idiot in the WH that they think they can manipulate.

I tend to agree with this, although any potential president who benefits from a *proven*(not just this CTer "it's the Russians!!" nonsense) foreign hacker who has ulterior motives should quickly distance themselves. The way Trump is handling this he'd bring the guys into the White House day 1 and give them a medal. His lack of discretion is sad

So the big problem isn't that he's working with a foreign gov't to manipulate the election; it's that ... he's too open about it? Wow.

You're a lost cause

Yeah, that's the typical response one get when one asks for a concrete explanation. You guys have a very strong emotional orientation here but no real basis for it.

"Did you see the latest hack? OMG?!!!"
"What's in it?"
"Fuck you!!!!"

I think that's a major leap. Trump has said positive things about Russia but nothing he has said indicates he would be weak when it comes to Americans interests in regards to Russia.
