The sad thing is you two actually sound like you have been brainwashed into believing what you have typed.
You may not have read or believed what you have heard in regard to the cabal aligned against Trump by Hillary & Co.
But if they are proved to have set this whole mess up, you should be coming back to threads like this and apologizing.

So now he may not have meant it? But if he did, it's okay because many people say EVERYONE is accepting help from foreign governments and condoning their interference in our elections!

I rest my case.

Oh, He's being checked out. He is practically asking Russia and other countries to get info for him. I think he is walking on thin ice with this one.

For me, this is the most frustrating thing about Trump.

When the media asks you if you would take dirt on your opponent, do what every other politician does.

Say “No! Emphatically, NO!”

.....and then take the dirt, in private.

The stench from this post is overwhelming.

You need some FACTS, not this bs.

The Steele dossier was first contracted for by a REPUBLICAN.

Not by Hillary and the DNC.

And the distinction is that Trump would listen to foreign governments, and might or might not alert the FBI.

The problem is that Presidential candidates who take from foreign governments are compromised. Whether it's money, future promises, or dirt on rivals, they have an obligation to let the FBI know that a foreign government is approaching them, offering them something. Otherwise, they are compromising themselves as well as the integrity of the election.

As for your suggestion that Hillary and the DNC conspired with foreign governments, there really is NO evidence that this happened. Hillary, it should be noted, was very experienced at campaigning, and was fully aware of the laws regarding any interactions between her campaign and foreign agents. Trump's campaign evidently wasn't as knowledgeable of the laws, and they made several slip-ups. While the determination by Mueller was that there was no intent to collude with our enemies, when Trump makes statements like this one, he throws that conclusion into question. He really doesn't seem to understand the laws and ethics involved with politics.

It's amazing what the party of Trump will allow this man to do and say. They should be ashamed of themselves, but of course they aren't.
Just in the last 3 or 4 pages of this thread I have counted at least a dozen "but Hilary" or "but Obama" posts.

Trump is a dishonest narcissist that has had everything in his life handed to him on a silver platter by his father and surrounds himself with sycophants who constantly tell him what a great job he's done . He doesn't know how to compete honestly because he's never had to compete much at all. He doesn't have to follow the rules regarding foreign interference because up until now the games always been rigged for him to win. Who cares about rules or ethics when you've won every game you're in before it even started?

As I am sure he would say: "Rules, laws, and ethics are for losers."

But that's the thing, there is no shame in their game, zero.
