The Democrats just fell for Trump's Russian email-hack bait

Grand Theft Convention.

No, that's not a new video game. But it is what we just saw Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump do to the Democrats and Hillary Clinton, and the Democrats and Hillary Clinton are helping him do it!

During about an hour-long news conference earlier Wednesday, Trump was asked repeatedly about allegations that the Russian government is behind the hacked and leaked Democratic National Committee's emails that embarrassed the party on the eve of their national convention in Philadelphia. Trump quickly pivoted to also discussing Clinton's private email-server controversy and the 30,000-plus emails the former Secretary of State had deleted from her private server under questionable explanations and circumstances.

Advantage Trump.

Then came the money quote, or the bait, when he said: "Russia, if you're listening,I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing; I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."

That comment was sure to grab headlines all on its own, but then the Clinton campaign incredibly took the bait and had a top policy advisor respond with this statement: "This has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent."

Advantage Trump.

However, I am stepping way out on a limb, predicting there won’t be any debates.

Don't know that you're stepping out too far. They've already cancelled the first. I'm with you on that line of thinking, mostly because, let's face it - Clinton is corrupt as ever, and knows she's going to get destroyed.

Oh what would you ever do when Paul wishes that some circumcision freaks would go all the way and emasculate themselves? You would get the vapors.

Try some context and some holistic understanding instead of some superficial affected soi-disant superiority for a change.
