You can think Clinton's policies are wrong, you can think that she's malicious or narcissistic or a snake or whatever adjective you want to throw on there.
How you fail to realize that Hillary Clinton is more competent and intelligent than either of us ever will be combined is a mystery. (This goes for virtually every nominee of both parties minus maybe Trump for the past 20-30 years)
Not really I think Clinton would mostly just be an extension of obama's term. I don't think she has anything drastic planned.

My favorite part of this election is that no matter which candidate gets elected something major is going to happen to the country
Both Trump and Clinton are virtually unpredictable at this point. Trump has a loud mouth and is impulsive and Clinton is so clueless and idiotic that you have no idea what she's going to do in any given situation. They both don't have spotless records (even though I think one is worse than the other) and to be honest something bad is going to happen either way, both internally and in foreign lands.
Like if you're fine with supporting the same candidate as the Kremlin that's okay, but it's certainly not ridiculous to be wary of that. Bonus comes from Trump questioning the value of NATO (centerpiece of Western security) and again, literally giving up on Ukraine. The country looking to snap up the pieces from an America retreating from global leadership is Russia. If you think Russian and American goals coincide, sure, supporting the same candidate is not a problem, but you'll have to forgive me and Slow for being skeptical.
Not the claim being made. You're belittling Slow for believing that 1. Russia was behind the DNC leaks 2. Putin wants Trump elected.
1 is demonstrably reasonable, 2 is undoubtedly true.
Wikileaks would never compromise its source in any way by doing this first off, second off Slow never said that the DNC leaks weren't valid information.
Politico website appears to be down right now so I linked the cache. State-funded Russian media is very pro-Trump and it's welldocumented. No surprise considering he broke from the GOP platform on Ukraine, preferring to leave it to the wolves. His campaign has extensive ties to the Russian government, which are reason to be skeptical but far from damning, but I won't really get into those due to the speculative nature.
It doesn't really matter who's behind the leaks and it shouldn't be used to discredit them. Even if it was Donald Trump himself, the information speaks for itself. I do think wiki leaks has said it was a programmer at the DNC though.
Russia is 100% trying to get Donald Trump elected.
Russia is also behind the DNC leaks, governmental or not is not set in stone but they seem to be the most likely culprit. Whether or not they did it explicitly to help Trump or just to stir general mischief is something that will never be known, but both are valid hypotheses.
