I wish he would have ran, the race would already be over.

Assange says it is coming. He has nothing to gain and a lot to lose by lying.

Agree 100%. I was hoping he'd run.

A while ago I thought this guy was a serious but lately he's just seemed like a clown.

And a lot of people are afraid of clowns.

Hillary voters do not care what she does. We have seen her abuse women, pay women less in the Clinton Foundation than men, sell government positions for money, get citizens killed in Benghazi, private server lies, terrible handling of classified info, horrible job as Sec of State, cheat Bernie Sanders, call black males super predators, insult millions of Americans by calling them deplorables, and now even insults Bernies voter base(which she is actually right on).

What in the world can Assange say to hurt her? Her voters want handouts plain and simple.

Well, if its true she wanted him taken out by a drone, then there must be something there that could change the outlook on her, even for her supporters.

The fact she wanted him killed by drone should be an issue. They bash Trump for temperament issues? Hillary doesn't appear too laid back.

[Clarka3]

for somebody trying to tout his business acumen as to why he should be fit to lead the country, he certainly doesn't want to release his tax returns to show us how successful he is.


i think most americans would understand if he didn't pay taxes because he used the system in place to do so. I thought it was silly that he made a tweet about Obama only paying 20% on a sub 1 million dollar fiscal year when Trump has likely not been paying taxes, but w/e. that's all posturing.

I want to see the taxes to see how well this guy runs his companies.


btw- that TruePundit link about the drone strike comment? Come on, guys. Unproven so far.

Yep, won't matter to the head in the sand crowd.

The Hillary post debate bounce is looking fairly significant.

October surprise................fail. Almost as bad as blowing a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals. If Clinton actually wanted to drone strike him, it was probably to save Americans from staying up all night for that waste of time.

Trumps tax plan, or at least what he has released, has been reviewed, dissected, and discussed by some of the smartest economists in the country.

They came to the conclusion that his plan would do nothing for the middle class, allow more tax concessions (while also continuing the existing ones) for real estate investors, and result in a net decrease in jobs.

If Trump is trying to be the champion of the middle class, his tax plan is not evidence of it. Now full disclosure, I'm a real estate investor so I wouldn't necessarily be against his tax plan....Though call it what it is, don't try and pretend it's something for the average person.

Can a someone please explain what he meant?

Trump PTSD comments spark emotional debate

As a veteran and someone whose seen a lot of friends come back from combat vastly different I find his comment about people not being able to handle it rather offensive and insensitive.

Well after Wikileaks made the October 4th presser announcement, Assange had to change locations due to death threats, CNN made a North Korea headline story that included "October Surprise" so they could use that story if news broke, and then there were major internet blackouts across the US during his interview.

It makes sense to me why they don't release anything on a schedule because of exactly what the media tried to do and spin in case some bad news for Clinton broke. But as was stated above, so much criminal and corruption is already out in plain sight about Clinton, I really don't know what could be released that would make a someone not vote for her if they plan to already.

Maybe I don't understand this fully, But Trump's tax plan lowers all the brackets and lowers the business tax. To me, that means a lower income tax bill for those in the middle class. Clinton already said she will be raising all taxes, even for the middle class. Can raised taxes be better for those in the middle class somehow?

To me, he was being sensitive to the fact that PTSD is hard for some vets to handle, which is why some need treatment or fall into addiction. A lot of what he says has to do with tone and context, which the media ignores and twists to write headlines.

Trump backers feel played as Wikileaks fails to deliver October surprise

False. The vast majority of Trump backers won't realize they've been played until the election is over.
