In other words, you don't have a response to the insecurity of Hillary's server and the threat it poses to national security..

You just want to play with the fishies.. :D

Gotcha {{wink}} {{wink}}

As a parting note, you've at least inspired another good name for The Donald: "Clownfish Von Trump"

Crooked Hillary is a LOT more accurate... But, of course, you can't see that enslaved by Party Dogma and all that.. :D

PARTY before Country.. I get it.. But your ideology doesn't make up for the FACT that this was a HUGE security breach... ========================= Seriously? You make a hell of a lot of assumptions. LOL You characterized the HRC server as an "email server that allowed North Korea, Russia and China to read EVERYTHING going thru the SecState's office," so I point out that you are mistaken that "EVERYTHING" that resides in the SOS's office does not even reside on a single network, let alone a single server on the non-classified network. Then you begin an exercise in speculation about all kinds of superfluous BS including a hypothetical "completely open communications system" of the POTUS, pure conjecture about me and my political ideology, and continue your mischaracterization regarding Hillary Clinton's server, an email server attached to the NIPRNET -- Non-classified Internet Protocol (IP) Router Network. Information sent to any server through the NIPRNET is deemed non-classified by federal personnel or it is not allowed to be disseminated through that net. Information deemed classified (multiple different levels of classification) is kept on entirely separate networks. It's not complicated. Your statement that the server allowed North Korea, Russia, and China to read "EVERYTHING" going through the SOS's office is simply utter nonsense and not even logistically possible based on facts. Your insistence that it is a "FACT that this was a HUGE security breach" is mere conjecture on your part and assumes facts not in evidence. There is indeed only a breach of security if someone was able to hack into the server, and if anyone hacked into the server they would have gained access to only that information which was deemed non-classified by SOS personnel and allowed on the NIPRNET on which the HRC server was allowed access. Your attempt to conflate the contents of a server containing information deemed non-classified by SOS personnel into some kind of "HUGE security breach" that "allows our enemies to read EVERYTHING that is going on in our State Department" does not equal an attempt on my part to mitigate anything and does not somehow magically divulge my "PARTY" affiliation. I belong to no "PARTY," and I'm merely stating facts. Anything that would be deemed "catastrophic" if it "falls into enemy hands" is not to be disseminated by federal personnel over the NIPRNET to a non-classified email server, no matter who accesses that server or what political ideology they hold, if any. I have a few friends who view Edward Snowden a hero for his breach of NSANET and Bradley/Chelsea Manning a patriot for his/her breach of SIPRNET and JWICS, and these same friends vilify HRC for receiving information deemed non-classified by SOS personnel on an email server that showed no evidence whatsoever that it had been breached. Most of them are Republicans, but me assuming that all Republicans agree with them would be a fool's errand, and I don't envy fools or clowns and particularly don't envy con artists like Con Don, no matter what party affiliation he is claiming today or what position he is changing from one minute to the next. That's like saying that, if the POTUS has a completely open communications system bereft of even the most basic security, it's perfectly acceptable because not "everything" is on that server...

ENOUGH is on that server that it's catastrophic that it falls into enemy hands...

I realize that you must try and mitigate the seriousness of Clinton's transgression.. I understand. I really do..

Didn't think so.. :D

Regardless of all that, you miss my point..

My point being that everyone said the exact same thing about Reagan that they are saying about Trump..

And Reagan won. And went on to win a second term in a LANDSLIDE election...

Ya'all have been wrong about Trump at every turn.. Just like people were wrong about Reagan at every turn..

History may not repeat, but it surely rhymes.. :D

It seems nothing can make him look bad to his supporters, and if one is trying to sway the undecided, name calling probably isn't going to do the trick. I do, however, think that whoever pointed out his fear of being seen as weak had a point. I don't think that Hillary going after his refusal to share his tax returns will hit any sore spots but there's got to be some buttons she can push. I was wondering if he's not releasing his statements simply to prolong the drama and get more free media coverage. If in the end he releases them and they're just your average millionaire's tax returns, everyone who's criticised him loses credibility. And I hope that guy doesn't eat rusty nails.
