He's providing a very relevant example of just how far apart the two parties are.

(4,602 posts)The only time Trump does remotely well is when he doesn't speak off the cuff for a few weeks.

However, it almost doesn't matter anymore. He is playing a game that no one in the DNC or even HRC or the genius politician Bill Clinton know how to play.
Their standard tactics of attacking him only speak to the choir.
I was astonished this week when I learned two faculty members with whom I work are voting for Trump. These are people that I never thought in a million years would entertain such an idea.
I am a communications teacher and have also worked in marketing communications. I've worked for Fortune 100 companies in positions at the director level. I do not know what I would do if I had to advise anyone about how to deal with Trump.

(8,541 posts)I can see both sides but he's throwing things out there that he knows will be talked about long after he steps away from the mic.
He said some crazy stuff and I only caught a tiny part. Him goading on Russia is insane. If they do dump the emails then wouldn't he be an accomplice to a crime?
