He's a front runner to be president of the United States. None of this is a joke.

Again, as I said earlier
He is NOT IMMUNE TO BAD PRESS
His polls went down due to his response to the Orlando shooting.
Why do people think that is any better?

I still see the "Donald Trump encourages Russia to hack Hillary Clinton" headline.

MOE?
And as I said earlier:
His comments about NATO? After the nomination
His comments about Russia? After the nomination.
His comments about the heritage of the judge in his Trump U case? After the nomination.
His comments about BLM? After the nomination.
I get it, the primaries are a different animal. Yet, his approval is on a huge upward trend, even after these stories. So clearly they're not damaging as much liberals hoped it would.
Margin of error.

I'd love to see if those of you staunchly defending Trump have reduced amygdala activity.
Keep telling yourself that. He's unfit for the office of President of the United States.
yep. this isnt trolling or what ever this is unbecoming of anyone that aspires to be president of this country.
This combined with the refusal to show his tax returns really shows the guy is untrustworthy as hell and a liar of a higher degree than anyone running today.

His approvals went up because they always do after conventions unless you're Romney because Romney is a loser.
The Orlando shooting wasn't during the primaries.

So Trump thinks his own interests are greater than the national security of his country. Sadly, this is just another outrageous statement that Trump is going to get away with.
Exactly. Republicans hate the party leadership, think they've been neutered, so whenever Trump does this, his supporters go crazy. Especially when the left freaks out about it.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
I think that he claimed that they talked but then it was found out later they weren't on the same set and didn't speak at all. The guy is a pathological liar and at some point those lies loop around and snag you in them.
Pretty much sums it up.

Its crazy to think that this guy is going to be briefed on government secrets in the coming weeks.
That could be it, that is what Rush is currently saying.
I'm aware, but you're bringing up *one* instance where his comments hurt him in the polls.
As a whole, his outrageous commentary never hurts him... And it's not as if it was just after the RNC that he got a bump. He cut her lead in half, according to 538, before the RNC even started.
"THEY ARE THE SAME" really people have this hard time conceding this guy is awful as hell.

Oh no. The Russians absolutely will or already have targeted him, they'll just keep that info to themselves instead of giving it up to Wikileaks.
They are already doing in this in this Thread!!!!!! This is just unbelievable what Im witnessing.

The bigger picture here, is he is basically asking Russia to break our first amendment rights because Hillary has a lot more on those 30K emails than just information she probably shouldn't have deleted. There are likely extremely personal issues that involve her family, her friends, or herself. Things that are personal to her.

Sadly this.
The remark about the media would be very rewarding and "let's see if that happens" in regards to media coverage of a hack is straight up trolling.
Dude literally took all the wind out of the DNC chatter with this press conference. We are all being played.
Honestly. This is what I am leaning on. Dudes a grade-a douchebag and the media is playing right into it.
Basically. Trump never stopped being the loudmouth real estate/reality show guy that lets everyone gets under his skin. He has yet to understand it's time to be the president now and look after the interests of the country rather than promote his brand.

I don't feel like this is accurate, but I don't follow 538. She had a pretty comfortable lead before the RNC (and still has leads in demographics and individual state polls) from everything I read.
Honestly, it's going to work perfectly for him.
This is all anyone is going to talk about. It's going to overshadow Bill's speech yesterday, and the final day of the DNC.
And it won't phase his numbers at all. Just watch.
I follow the site daily. She started at 80/20, and it was 60/40 before the RNC began. Now it's basically tied... Some of this is the post-convention bump, sure. But there is more to it than that. You're delusional if you think otherwise.

He wasn't really *gaining* on Hillary before the RNC as much as Hillary was dropping due to having a historically bad week due to the fallout from the email controversy.
Yes. That's it. He's playing 11th dimensional chess.
Again this isn't true. When he was a racist against a judge recently his poll numbers tanked. It hurt him badly. His rise in the poll now is a combination of the Hillary servergate, and the bump you traditionally get after your parties convention. If in the middle of August he is leading then you can save he's the teflon don. His past comments have hurt him in the general. In the primaries not so much, but he has been hurt in the general.
His entire motivation to run for president has been to promote his own brand and raise his stock.
You seem to be paying attention, but missed that he didn't get a convention bounce and his polls have been static.
His gains are from Clinton dropping with the bad news of the DNC emails and the FBI investigation. They are not from any movement on his side.
I think he stepped in it here. This is going to make it very, very tough from Republicans running to say anything good about him. They were already running away. Now that will not be enough.

Trump-senpai so moe!
On topic, I hope this statement actually has real consequences for him, which the racist and xenophobic ones really should have already.

Even if he took the current chatter about DNC out, he couldn't stop all the positive stuff from it, especially Bill's speech that seemed to really speak to a lot of people, having its impact. Trump can't overshadow the DNC as a whole, not matter what he says. With Obama speaking today, especially.
You are wrong, you can keep doubling down on it all you want but his numbers will drop from this.

I don't know about that. He's essentially approving cyberwarfare against our intelligence agencies.
There's still going to be plenty of talk about the DNC speeches later, but the media isn't going to pass up the chance to talk about another of Trump's unforced errors now.

I have no problem with the media talking about Bill's speech, speculating on Obama's speech, and Trump's idiocy on FP.
