Trump rails against Clinton’s emails amid Russia firestorm:

It's just a lowering of the bar. And yeah - Hillary would have, too.

It's not something to be celebrated. If you do, then you basically forfeit your right to complain about any future Dem, no matter how dishonest, corrupt or duplicitous they are. It's all on the table now.

But we all know that you WILL complain about future Dems. You're still complaining about Hillary, and she is forever out of power. It's just typical double-standard BS, more than anything.

i deny that he is corrupt or duplicitous.

In one "REALITY", 63 million are "half the country". In another reality they're barely a fifth.

In one "REALITY", whatever a president does is "presidential". In another, where standards aren't shrugged or frowned at, he's just a Vulgar Talking Yam who, by dint of an ancient Constitutional quirk, has been allowed into the highest office of the land, buyers' remorse and disgust by overwhelming majorities and all.

In one "REALITY", the trumpy is president. In another, his presidency is a shameful accident of history, hopefully jolting the population into reconsidering their relation to reality, namely, rejecting the alternative realities the rightarded propagandists promulgate to take advantage of the gullible goofs who make up most of the Trumpy's supporters and voters.

In which reality does that seem so?

Easy way to identify a rightard: There are always some who find themselves excluded from the group of those who matter. Mostly it's Blacks, or women, or, in this instance, children or other such "shade". That form of exclusion is so ubiquitous to them, it's even sleazily applied in order to "justify" a counter-factual statement like "half the country wanted the trumpy" (paraphrasing).

I'm really curious now - this one's for the righties. Is this a prediction?

"no candidate has ever come back from this far behind"

Without any context, no. In the context in which it was used - especially given the identity of the "utterer", I think so.

No, no. This has been EXTREMELY revelatory.

You think ""no candidate has ever come back from this far behind" is a PREDICTION.

That astounds. Just incredible that they let you folks vote.

I think that a former Clinton employee saying that "no candidate has ever come back from this far behind" about a poll in which Trump polled poorly is a prediction - a prediction that his former boss was going to win, which he clearly expected and wanted everyone else to believe.

A prediction that was based on polls that could have been flawed, like the one that libs are crowing about now.

Stephanopoulos donated $25,000 in 2012, 2013, and 2014, a total of $75,000, to the Clinton Foundation, but did not disclose the donations to ABC News, his employer, or to his viewers.

Stephanopoulos failed to reveal the donations even on April 26, 2015, while interviewing Peter Schweizer, the author of Clinton Cash, a book which alleges that donations to the Foundation influenced some of Hillary Clinton's actions as Secretary of State.

After exposure of the donations by Politico on May 14, 2015, Stephanopoulos apologized and admitted he should have disclosed the donations to ABC News and its viewers. The story was broken by The Washington Free Beacon, which had questioned ABC News regarding the matter. The donations had been reported by the Clinton Foundation, which Stephanopoulos had considered sufficient, a reliance ABC News characterized as "an honest mistake."

Based on Stephanopoulos' donations to The Clinton Foundation charity and his behavior during prior interviews and presidential debates, Republican party leaders and candidates expressed their distrust, and called for him to be banned from moderating 2016 Presidential debates, due to bias and conflict of interest. He agreed to drop out as a moderator of the scheduled February 2016 Republican Presidential primary debate.

In the month prior to his revelation, Stephanopoulos told Jon Stewart on The Daily Show that when money is given to the Clinton Foundation "everybody" knows there's "a hope that that's going to lead to something, and that's what you have to be careful of."
