Erm... maybe we should just write off the so-called "Free Press" which have become an arm of the political class. Maybe we as a nation should see things for what they are and come together in spite of the political class and media which are dividing us. Maybe we should just wise up and see things for what they are, no bullets needed.

We'll get exactly what we deserve because of our ignorance and complacency in allowing criminals to run our country.

I see a lot of people go on about evil Russia and China (make no mistake, they are our enemies), but the fact is that if we fall apart, so does the rest of the world. The entire world has a lot tied up in us and we would most certainly walk into World War III if such were to occur.

Reality is... we were much safer from a world war during the cold war than we are now. Obama has changed our nuke policy from MAD which was fire only if fired on to preemptive/first strike. Obama's reckless attitude and support for terrorism in the ME has made Russia and China very nervous, especially when the WH throws out unfounded accusations and makes threats of punishment to Russia. Obama/Clinton are going to end up causing WWIII.
After seriously considering an official MAD stance and receiving harsh criticism from Congress, Obama maintained the First Strike option back in August. Why would the US take it off the table?

'No first use' nuclear weapons policy a dangerous Obama idea - Washington Times

As for what may be in it for Putin to add to the chaos of the 2016 election, is speculation.

Putin wants sanctions lifted.

Some sources claim the US funded massive demonstrations in Russia during their last election cycle. Quid pro quo? Putin intends to run for his 4th term in 2018.

Seems to me regardless of which nominee wins, they will likely have no clear mandate, and a substantial percentage of the population and Congress is not going to be happy campers. This is not particularity conducive to a coherent foreign policy which could favor Russia.

That's a thought. Trump is, after all, fast becoming a loser, so who cares what he might think or feel?

Hey, Snowball, I think we solved your problem for you. Snowball? Snowball?

That's what I was wondering about, too.

I'm not much of a Christian, but "fighting to the death" over differences in ideology doesn't sound like the Christian thing to do. Isn't that precisely what you guys claim all Muslims are guilty of doing?

I appreciate that you believe I finally had a decent idea after 11k posts. Not sure where the Pacific Palisades quip comes from, since I live in South LA, a member of the hard-working poor which politicians abandon after getting my vote.

Can't you conservatives at least wait til AFTER the election to act like sore losers?

Why rush it? Geez...savor these times you live in presently while you can pretend to still have hope (although you don't) and stand by your guy.

There'll be enough time for crying after the election. Trust me, you'll have plenty to cry about too.

Trump represents the Bigot, Homophobe, misogynist, sad losers in our community.

It will be great when he is soundly defeated and the bigots are sent back to the hole they crawled out of.
For straight anti-gay men they do seem to think an awful lot about what two men do in their bedrooms.
