And he wants to be friend with Putin who he recognizes is a racist[/quote]

He did not say this and you know it .......... [/quote]

“It would be interesting to see, I will tell you this, Russia, if you're listening I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” the Republican nominee said at a news conference in Florida. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

He said if Russia, China or anyone else has the deleted emails he would like to have them released so that he can see what they contain. I agree with him. Why hide these deleted emails? He did not invite anyone to hack any servers. If the emails have been deleted they cannot be hacked.[/quote]

You sound like an idiot!!!!  If those emails contain top gov't secrets why in the hell would you invite two communist countries whom could use the information to our determent?!!! This is treason!! If this isn't solid proof this man is not fit to lead our country I don't know what is.  If you are still voting for Trump, please keep it too yourself or anonymous because if you let rational people know, they are sure to lose all respect for you.[/quote]

You are a total moron and that is being unkind to morons.

If they already have the emails then there is nothing that can be done about it. If they don't have the emails, there is no server to hack. Why can't you understand something so basic? So if those emails have national security classified information, they either already have it or they cannot get it from non-existent servers.

You must be one of these low information voters we hear about all the time.

You completely missed the point. It is immaterial what 'they' have or don't have at this point. Trump was exhorting a hostile foreign government to engage in cyber spying against his opponent for his own personal gain in the election for our next President. No other candidate - certainly not Hillary - couldn't have gotten away with that kind of treasonous statement. Amazingly, the Republican elite have been remarkably silent. This is unprecedented.[/quote]

I did not miss any point: you are changing what was said  to which I responded. Here is what you said:

[b]"If those emails contain top gov't secrets why in the hell would you invite two communist countries whom could use the information to our determent?!!!"[/b]

If they already have the information, they can use it to "our determent" in any event. If they don't have the information, they cannot access the information from a now non-existent server whether Trump or anyone else "invites" them to do so.

Now this is quite apart from the fact that the emails he is referring to are the deleted emails that Clinton assured us were private communications that had nothing to do with national security. So how do private emails impact national security?

This narrative that Trump was asking Russia to "hack" Clinton's emails has been repeated ad nauseum by the media and they are either being outright dishonest or outright ignorant because there is nothing to hack given that the server is not functional and has not been for a while.

Now whether it is appropriate for a candidate to encourage a foreign country to interfere in the elections of this country is a valid point although the consequences are something that would be decided by voters at the polls just like other things that Trump has said. But to argue - as you and some in the media have done - that this is "treasonous" is idiotic. First, the definition  of treason in the US does not fit what Trump did. So we are going to charge Trump with treason because he encouraged Russia to release Clinton's emails about yoga and Chelsea's wedding plans?? It really is ludicrous when people blindly just repeat the claptrap that the media drones on about.

As far as Clinton not getting away with such a "treasonous" statement, she actually got away with jeopardizing national security using a private server.

Finally, I am not a Trump supporter. I think he is unqualified to be president but I am not a Clinton supporter either because I think that she is a fundamentally dishonest person who has appallingly bad judgement. I have been a consistent supporter of Democrats for decades including voting for Obama on both occasions. What I find offensive is when the media displays its bias by just making ridiculous statements which are than repeated by others as if they are gospel. [/quote]
