Let's talk about "hilarious". Personally, I feel actions speak much louder than words and here's exhibit A:

75 Times Obama Broke Law During Presidency » Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Obama recess appointments unconstitutional - Washington Times

Judge: Obama's immigration move unconstitutional - CNNPolitics.com

But bless the other sides hearts, of course, and we should just trust their rhetoric nonsense but ignore their actions. Hey woodfin.....i still got that ocean front property in iowa for you. Since I tell you it's ocean front, it must be true, right?

Thanks, missed the "clarification". Glad this individual changed their mind so quickly!

Words are a very powerful tool, even lethal, when the person speaking them has rabid, unhinged, blindly loyal followers just waiting for an excuse to physically lash out at someone. They can also put enough fear in other people that they feel they must do something extreme to protect themselves.

Trump is playing with fire, throwing in gunpowder for extra effect, and thinks it is all like a great big reality TV show where it is just good entertainment. It's not a TV show, people can and probably will get hurt. The unknowns at this point are who, how many, and what the final trigger was. It's coming. The only person capable of putting the brakes on it is Trump.
Truer words were never written than the bolded above. I don't agree with the personal info dump, but Trump really is treating this campaign like a reality show where he thinks he is in control. He lost control a while ago, but doesn't seem to realize it yet. But this is going to get real for him now. Like you, I hope he realizes it and puts the brakes on, but somehow I doubt this will happen until something forces him to. That is the real fear that many of us have had for a while now.

How is this different than Trump giving out Lindsey Graham's private cell phone number on national tv?

Good question. And the answer is, it's different because Trump can dish it out but he can't take it.

I think hacking into someone's private data via illegal electronic means is juuuuust a bit more serious.

Both are an invasion of privacy. Trump simply doesn't observe the rules of civilized society.

But I don't think it's a crime. Hacking one's electronic data is a very, very serious matter.

You can equate them if you choose but it doesn't change reality.

The biggest difference is that he thought it was funny when he was publicizing Graham's info. I'm betting he's not laughing very hard now that the shoe is on the other foot.

I'm not condoning either action, but it is amusing to see his own tactics used against him.
