2016 Election Thread (My God Kill Me Now)

[Arthur Dent]

We didn't need leaked e-mails to know that DNC insiders favored Clinton.

[M1IRONMIKE]

What does Trump owe Putin for the DNC email hack? Estonia?

Well, we know who Putin DOESNT want to be President. Who wants to vote for the candidate Vladimir Putin endorses? Not me.

IIRC, Berlusconi and Putin were pals too.

Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s top adviser, and his ties to pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine

It's not just Manafort, it's Trump himself with the frightening ties to the Putin and his Russian underworld supporters. As banks have gradually refused to lend to Trump (probably due to the bankruptcies), he has turned to shadowy pro-Putin Russian sources for his financing. It's unsurprising that Trump is now praising Putin as a great leader, talking about not defending NATO allies that Russia has its eyes on, and benefiting from a Russian hack of the DNC servers. That's just how demagogue dictators do favors for eachother.

No big deal though, this is just our democratic republic going down the tubes here.

Here we go.....the left gets caught conspiring to get Hilary nominated and now they blame trump . Not upset with their corruption but upset they were caught red handed....the demo mantra.....deflect....go for cover....then create another diversion....this week ought to be good

OR IS IT BOTH??

Jim, jump in here. Is mike saying he's good with Trump's Russian connection or just ignoring in favor of going after Hillary?
My bias is I am in favor of a Bernie Sanders revolution.

what I am saying is there is absolutely no evidence "Russia is pulling the strings and Trump is their puppet" . There is however evidence that the DNC conspired to keep Sanders out. If you need something clarified about what I said you can ask me instead of the passive aggressive [expletive] asking jim what i meant 4 minutes after I post something. don't be a [expletive]

Maybe you should ask jim to quit stepping in as your surrogate.

You have no interest in taking a critical look at Trump. That's cool but you should man up and admit it.

I don't tell Jim what to do just like he doesn't tell me what to do. The real problem here is you don't like to hear what i have to say which i could give a [expletive] about. Anytime you want to "man up" let me know. I'll accommodate you otherwise leave out the punk smart ass comments directed at me before you bite off more than you can chew.

ANY ONE WHO VOTES NOT FOR TRIMP IS A RACIST AGAINST ORANGE PEEPLE.

I hope that we can take advantage of Kohls' very loose return policy, and return whatever candidate we elect for a full refund, no questions asked.

[ghostrunner]

Sanders former press secretary (resigned last month)

I think biased is the best way to put it. Rigged, not so much.

[Cheddar Tom]

If the argument is that the DNC favored Clinton....well that is a no brainer. I think if Putin's hackers had gotten to the RNC emails it would similarly show that they favored non-Trump candidate...any non-Trump candidate.

But the argument that they conspired to sandbag Sanders or rig the system against him is not apparent.

It's weird that a user named "johnkennedy" is on here promoting Ivanka's dresses.

Time for a time out. Let's all take a breather, eh?
