    No, the talking point was that what she'd done was absolutely boneheaded because it had exposed her, and the rest of us, to the risk of this happening. And the response from her side was some version of: 1) "It was allowed"; 2) "Colin Powell did it, too!"; 3) "Classified, schmassified ... How was she supposed to know what was classified?"; or 4) "Yawn ... Wake me up when the FBI is rioting."

    Besides, Hillary and @RevPastor have assured us her server was never hacked. This is much ado about nothing.

    So ... Do we think that his comments have any impact on the race? Does it have legs? How are voters going to react?

    I guess I don't understand why there is more risk of her emails being hacked than any government emails being hacked. Hackers going to hack. There is no reason to send any important information via email today. There is no such thing as a safe email. Am I wrong?

    How many child-support claims do you figure PP has gotten Bill out of?

    Her emails being in the news do not help her.

    Her campaign wants to make this about Russia? LOL. It's about her inability to properly handle classified material.

    I don't think it hurts him, either. He was joking. It was in poor taste, but it won't stick.

    My, my, where to start . . .

    (with apologies to Boon of Animal House) . . . "HE can't install his puppets in Eastern European countries . . . only WE can install OUR puppets there (Poroshenko being the latest)."

    Except, that's NOT his "fundamental foreign policy goal". His goal is not to have enemies and NATO military bases on every goddamn border of his. Pretty understandable. Picture Russian military bases in, oh, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize, and guess how we would react. Probably something along the lines of "American aggression."

    Putin's speeches contain about 1/250th of the "hostility" toward the United States that our presidents' speeches contain about Russia. When was the last time a U.S. president referred to Russia as "our eastern partners." That's always how Putin describes the United States --- "our western partners."

    More "partners", fewer "adversaries". What a crazy concept. Meanwhile . . .

    We don't give a fuck about the "independence of eastern Europe.'' If we did, we would allow eastern Ukraine to break away and become an independent state (Novorossia), which it would love to do. But it would be a state friendly to Russia, so noooooooooooo.
