If I make a deal with a foreign country and will do what they want me to do to help their interests including giving up sovereignty of my home country in return for their help in getting me elected then that is treason.

All it takes is a finger to point out where the Titles of Nobility/Emoluments clause and Article 3 Section 3 (Treason) are. These people are the kinds of idiots who have probably never read the damn thing.

The GOP is trying to manipulate us and blame us for their faults, like they always do. Because they have no argument otherwise.

I have zero problem with a campaign getting information from anywhere. It’s up to the campaign to verify the information. It’s also up to the candidate and campaign to make it very clear that the information was paid for with campaign funds.

Not an once of Clinton hate in me.
