Hillary's email server is a greater threat than Donald Trump?

Seriously? Do some of you even hear yourselves? Trump is probably the worst nominee that's ever run for president. Only George Wallace or Lyndon LaRouche were worse. In many ways, Trump resembles both of those men. He appeals to the racists like Wallace and the conspiracy nuts like LaRouche.

Do some of you understand how serious this election is for our future and our standing in the world?

2. There is more nonsense being thrown around this election season

than I have seen in a long time. Is that because things are really that much worse than in the recent past, or is it because people are getting bad information or distracting information from not only the important issues, but also how hard it is to actually do politics well?

Two months?

A week?

A day?

Gotta have a plan for all contingencies.

4. Of course Trump is the greater threat. But wouldn't it be nice to not have to choose?

We're stuck with the dangerous presidency of Trump or someone who has an FBI investigation hanging over her head that could fall on her at any time. If only we had another choice.

Oh, wait, we do. (Admittedly, just barely.)

So is what the parties and their candidates represent.

"Better than" is not good enough.

6. You miss the point. I know nuance and critical thought is frowned on here.

The question is not "should we support Hillary and her sever issues or trump."

The question is "will Hillary still be a viable candidate this fall with the known and potential risks?"

7. Hillary's email scandal is a threat because of Trump

She4 set up a situation that compromises her candidacy, thus threatening the country with the possibility of Trump being elected. She betrayed Democrats with this.
