How disgusting, he is basically appealing to a foreign country to conduct espionage against his own country, this man is not fit to be the President of the United States.


Donald Trump encourages Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's emails

In a whirlwind press conference from Doral, Florida, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told reporters that he had a message for Vladimir Putin and the Russian government: Please hack into rival Hillary Clinton’s email servers.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing,” he said. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let’s see if that happens. That will be next.”



Even his own Taliban VP has distanced himself from his criminal statement.


Mike Pence issues separate statement on Russian hacking
In an apparent bid to distance himself from Donald Trump’s assertion that Russia should hack Hillary Clinton’s private email servers, Indiana governor Mike Pence has issued a separate statement following Trump’s press conference this morning to “ensure there are serious consequences” for whoever hacked the Democratic National Committee’s email servers.

“The FBI will get to the bottom of who is behind the hacking,” Pence wrote. “If it is Russia and they are interfering in our elections, I can assure you both parties and the United States government will ensure there are serious consequences.

Fox can't hold a light to social media bro.

A full 6% of Americans have trust in their media these days!

Atleast this time around Trump was leading Fox, not other way around like it was in previous elections! They were hell bent on spoiling it for him right at the start of the primaries to prop up Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio...& he turned that negetive reporting to his advantage. It's funny to watch how Fox had to come around & start cheerleading for him!

They have little choice....they hate Crooked Hillary a lot lot more than they do Trump (underneath their facade they have put on now).

Mike Pence (trumps VP candidate) has now solidified more traditional conservative support for Trump as well more recently. Both made quite excellent speeche s in front of their veteran soldiers organisation a cpl days back.....momentum is gathering.

What an embarrassment this man is, now, his own party leaders are distancing themselves from his statement.


House speaker Paul Ryan’s chief communications adviser has distanced the speaker from Donald Trump’s comments encouraging Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails and release them.

“Russia is a global menace led by a devious thug. Putin should stay out of this election,” Brendan Buck told the Guardian.

a) how is a chief communications advisor a "party leader"?

b) how has he referenced trump's statement directly or distanced himself directly?

The House Speaker is a de facto leader of the majority.
He needs not to be an elected member of the House and yet :
The Speaker is second in the United States presidential line of succession, after the Vice President.

The chief communication advisor holds just about the same role as the White House Press Secretary
relative to the Speaker while also keeping link with the party and party line. He's the voice of Ryan here.

He didn't attack Trump, just Russia and Putin. Keeps party line, doesn't assign blame; a soft correction.
As all comm personnel, he could however take the blame if any and be fired to protect the image of his boss.

Here's a short summary :
WASHINGTON — As Donald Trump calls on Russia to find and expose his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton’s emails, congressional Republicans are pushing back and bashing Russia’s leader Vladamir Putin.

In a statement, Speaker Paul Ryan’s spokesman Brendan Buck said:
“Russia is a global menace led by a devious thug. Putin should stay out of this election.”

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce gave a similar statement to BuzzFeed News.
“The United States should not tolerate Russian meddling in November’s election. Period.”

During a press conference Wednesday morning, Trump essentially encouraged cyber espionage against Clinton.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” he said.
“I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”​

Trump has already folded on the value of the call, BTW.

Hope it helps, Tay.

Can not support Trump for his rantings. But have a feeling that many people might be hiding their support for Trump during such polls. When its not "cool" to have a certain choice, people tend to lie during opinion polls. Same happened during Brexit also. Hillary better up her game, otherwise Trump has a real chance.

Trump is cool. It's cool to vote for a non politician. It's not cool to vote for a politician.
