Politically motivated one suspects but it will have little bearing on the election result IMO.

I would not call President John F. Kennedy, an unpopular President. Prior to his Assassination, on November 22nd, 1963, he had a 70% approval rating, which is said to be highest of all Presidents, post World War II.

Clinton is lucky she is running against Trump. Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio would be doing a lot better IMO.

Maybe those two might do better but Jed Bush failed to garnish enough votes when he announced his candidacy as he had poor results in several of the primary states and thus quit the race.

As for Rubio l am not sure he can command enough support either but he is certainly better then Trump.

She's heard saying...

Is outside influence forbidden? Support wise?

I think it's other way round, Trump is lucky it's Clinton, because if it had been Bernie Sanders, Sanders may have won easy and lots of Bernie Sanders supporters feel Hillary stole the Democratic ticket from him. Wikileak revelations did suggest this to be the case.

But Jeb Bush ? Seriously doubt that, his older brother, former President George W Bush's approval is the lowest of all Presidents by the time he left office and I think people would be thinking we need to get out of the pattern of having generations of an entire family gaining the Presidency and even the Clinton's have family ties with the Bushes through Marriage. Jenna Bush, former first daughter. The family ties to Hillary Clinton through marriage to her uncle Bill - George W Bush's 'brother from another mother.

I do feel a lot of people aren't understanding the Trump factor. I myself this time last year, thought he was an arrogant stupid old rich fool that ran away with this gob and I was actually routing for Hillary to be President, I was kinda excited that I was around when we gained the first black President and now a first Woman President but after watching many of the debates and then reading stuff on the Clinton's and all the feedback from my American friends. I began to feel some kind of hate forming towards her and that I began to feel she is not best suited to the job of President, some of the things she said, some of the policies she has adopted. I was becoming totally turned off with her.

As for Trump, despite not really liking the guy very much before today, I started to listen to what he was saying and like him or loathe him, some of the things he says about the corrupt establishment is so correct. Many people ridicule him, but like my American pals tell me all the time, he is so anti-establishment, he is not in anybodies pocket, he doesn't need to be and people are more engaged with him for these reasons alone, which explains why all his rallies are so packed and Hillary's and her running mate Kaine's struggle to fill their rallies. Kaine only had 30 people attend his rally earlier this week.

Well, if you watched the Presidential debates, the second one I think, I think it is pretty hypocritical of Hillary Clinton accusing Russia of influencing the US Election and here we have a recording of her saying they, a foreign power, needed to determine who won the Palestine Election.

Seeing as it's Halloween soon:

How does one make Halloween great again? Carve a Trumpkin of course!

For those who fear a Donald Trump presidency and Trump fans alike, a new trend has been born - carving Halloween pumpkins to look like the Republican candidate for president.

A lot of the gourds are terrifyingly accurate.

Looks like these revelations are damaging Clinton:

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are separated by only two percentage points in a new Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll, ending a week in which the race has tightened as core Republican groups have returned to Trump’s fold.

Likely voters split 47 percent for Clinton and 45 percent for Trump, according to the survey conducted Monday through Thursday. That's little changed from a 48-44 split in the previous day's tracking results, which covered Sunday through Wednesday, but it is a substantial tightening since last weekend when Clinton led by a wide margin.

bollocks.

I find this whole farce - coming from a republican. As really damaging to Clinton.
Its because Trump is losing the race. It was stated yesterday that the FBI boss was wrong in saying what he did.
He should be fired.
Its like saying Corbyn is winning the Labour victory. And then a Tory comes in with Corbyn has done something wrong. And he loses the race.
This is typical of polotics. Its a load of *****.

Give over. Just the revelation alone is some form of justice for the last investigation they botched on her. A few pages ago you seemed over the moon they'd found nothing and there was no way she was dodgy. Now you're crying foul.

Remember we don't have a revelation as such. We don't know if the emails are relevant yet
