Also revealed this week that one of Trump's nat sec aides met secretly in Moscow with a GRU agent.

You may not care about Kremlin Don, but there are still some Americans left who do.

I'm sure you have credible links to all of these "revelations"?

CNN parts ways with Donna Brazile after debate questions were provided to Clinton - AOL News

CNN has severed ties with Donna Brazile, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and a longtime contributor on the network, after hacked emails revealed Brazile provided questions in advance to Hillary Clinton's campaign during the Democratic primary debates on CNN.

Brazile actually resigned on Oct. 14, a CNN spokesperson confirmed. Her deal had been suspended in July when she took over for ousted DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

"CNN never gave Brazile access to any questions, prep material, attendee list, background information or meetings in advance of a town hall or debate. We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor," said a network spokesperson in a statement.

They were pumping Hiliary sunshine hard in the evening news. They had her more than once stating the nothing there thing, and then follow up "interviews" of a few people saying that they were voting for her - that the latest news is not changing it. The kind of thing you do to reassure others that it's going to be alright - just stay the course. Can't buy better advertising - and it was free.

The Clinton team had been preparing this "bombshell" for days, as evidenced by her completely unhinged Twitter tirade earlier and her glee when it was unveiled.

I cannot believe they think the Russia angle actually connects with people. The only attacks that have worked on Donald are related to his own crassness.

Perhaps Trump is planning on building hotels in Russia if being president doesn't work out. There were times not so long ago that government and business in NY/NJ were complicit with mafias simply because nothing happened if they didn't play along. Russia is infested with mafia control now, but building there might be lucrative for Trump.

You can't just waltz into many countries (other than the US apparently) and set up business without connections (sometimes legitimate and sometimes shady). The Clintons have their own Russian connections - more troubling than Trump's - his doesn't appear to involve nuclear material.

I just read the NYT said there's no link between Russia and Trump and Hillary is only frustrated they haven't investigated more to find it.

Nobody with an IQ higher than 90 believes that ****.

The leaked emails originated from our own intelligence agency i.e. the NSA. Even they realize what a threat she is and has severely compromised national security!

RCP has the Senate with a plus 3 Dem pick up but 538 shows a 75+% chance Dems gain control with more like a plus 7 or 8 being the most likely scenario.

Wonder why the discrepancy? I assume it's baked into some turnout assumptions.

He applies weighting to polls. Some he thinks matter more than others.
