This kind of hypothetical doesn't seem like a normal post from you Clyde. Normally you lead the charge on wanting to wait for all the info and not being swayed by talking points. Would I be shocked that Russia was involved ? Nope. I'm pretty sure they hacked Hillary's personal server. The bigger catch is trying to prove a connection to Trump ' date=' it's much more likely they would just want to create overall chaos in America rather than favoring anyone. People act like the Clinton's don't have deep ties into Russia and as Secretary of state she wasn't very favorable to the Kremlin. But I feel this topic is doing what the DNC has been trying to do since the leak happened , deflect. The DNC leak is incredibly bad and damaging and right now is the only one we know for sure is true[/quote']

 

Already clearly stated it's mainly hypothetical , thus, an academic discussion which you know I am fond of.

In that case anytime a foreign nation hacks us it's a big deal. But the only way the hack should matter is if there is a direct tie into a campaign.

Both are bad, but I voted Russia.

 

Part of me wishes the RNC had worked harder to keep Trump from getting the nomination. :lol2:

I don't think I'd put much stock in that.

 

Reason being, if someone such as Hellcats were in Russia, they'd talk about how amazing Hillary is, while Jesse James would talk about Trump as the next coming. Personal opinion is very subjective on those types of things IMO.

 

But what would those two say the Americans view of Putin is? That is the correct analogy and I bet those two would have similar comments on Putin and how Americans view Putin despite their very different political beliefs.

 

If you ask HC and JJ what Americans think about Russia in general I bet their comments would be similar

 

Lot of Russian citizens are pro-Putin. Lots are anti-Putin. I bet those two groups would have differing views on the American candidates.

 

Can't speak for JJ, but I have to go with VOR on this. I would think the majority of Russia would support the isolationist ideas of Trump allowing them to expand their foreign policy.

I don't think Trump's unpredictability worries them in the least. They just want the US to stay in our hemisphere.

I still think a Rubio-Kasich ticket would have blown the competition away.

Kasich-Rubio and I agree.

I think if either of those guys would've won the Republican nomination, they would've handled Hillary with relative ease.

 

Same is true in reverse. If Joe Biden runs, he crushes Trump. Bernie probably beats him too.

The Hillary camp should be mindful of assigning credit for the dump to the Russians. Wikileaks will not take such a show of disrespect lightly. Hopefully they do some additional dumps in the coming weeks and months to show Hillary who she is actually dealing with. The imagination runs wild, thinking about the Clinton dirt they may dump.

Many in the US want that also.

Russians? Or Seth Rich?

Its going to be a long summer for HRC...drip, drip, drip...

 

Which is worse? The emails coming out or knowing they could come out any day???

Honestly not sure how this is a debate. When dems get caught red handed, they attack the source to set a smoke screen. Hello, you got caught regardless lol.

Trump is the preferred candidate in Russia. Please give me one good reason why Russia would want Hillary.

 

As to the poll, I see DNC manipulation on behalf of one candidate over another as the worse of the two choices. That is a statement about our country's values and the DNC. The other is about Russia's values and I'm not really concerned with it.

 

Russia would want her to be President if they had real, credible info from her e-mails that they could blackmail her with.

 

They accidentally admitted that the deleted e-mails were a threat to national security with their reaction to Trump's statement yesterday.

Gotta love libs, get caught, blame someone else, become the victim.

I am much more concerned about our internal parties working for or against a candidate, that's much more harmful long term to our process. RNC and DNC are both guilty.

 

Correct the RNC was as much anti Trump as the DNC was anti Bernie. The RNC just didn't get hacked. I would love to see some of those internal memo's. Didn't Trump call Bull fodder just as Bernie did early on?
