Donald Trump illegally encourages Russian hacking- unqualified to lead

Okay political campaigns, it's going to be "post Labor Day" in a few days and the campaigns must admit, the candidacy of Donald Trump is in a quagmire. He's unable to politically fix himself, his credibility was never evident, his surrogates are even contradicting his messaging. Will he release his taxes? Will Mexico pay for an anti-immigraition wall? Clearly, candidate Donald Trump is unqualified to lead the free world. Even worse, Trump is encouraging sedition by inviting Russia to hack into Americans private emails.

Vice Presidential nominee Senator Kaine compares Donald Trump's Russian Hack Comments to Watergate in Huffington Post:


Russian President Vladimir Putin says it doesn't matter who hacked the Democratic National Committee (DNC). By calling for Russia to do more hacking disqualifies candidate Donald Trump, in my opinion and apparently a lot of other people agree, like Senator Tom Kaine, too.

Washington- Democratic vice presidential nominee Senator Tim Kaine compared rival Donald Trump's comments on Russian hacking to Watergate, on Sunday September 4th.

Intelligence officials indicated that a July hack of the Democratic National Committee's servers was the work of the Russian government. Donald Trump responded to the email release with suggestions that the Russians should look for additional emails from Mrs. Hillary Clinton during her time at the US State Department.  

"He openly encouraged Russia to engage in cyberhacking to try to find more emails or materials, and we know these cyber attack on the DNC was done by Russia," Kaine said on an appearance on ABC's "The Week with George Stephanopoulos". 

Kaine compared Trump's response to the scandal that forced Republican President Nixon to resign from office. "A president was impeached and had to resign over an attack on the DNC during a presidential election in 1972,"  Kaine said.  "This is serious business. So contrast the Hillary situation, where the FBI said there was no need for legal proceedings, with an attack that is being encouraged by candidate Donald Trump on the DNC by Russia similar to what led to the resignation of a president 30 years ago."

Russian President Vladimir Putin denied his country's involvement in the hack earlier this week, but he praised the release of the emails. "Listen, does it even matter who hacks this data?," he asked Bloomberg News. "The important thing is the content was given to the public."

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's kind words for Russia's President Putin raises concerns as does some of his advisers connections to the Russian government.  (Editor's Huffington Post note:  Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar.)

Donald Trump mental health assessment - he needs a medical evaluation

"...marked another bizarre moment..." TheWashington Post

"These signs and symptoms may be observed by others..." 

Donald Trump instablity quotes at this link.

As a registered nurse, I'm qualified to report on paients' symptoms. In my opinion, Donald Trump exhibits many symptoms indicating an unstable personality. As a Registered Nurse, I'm ethically bound to refer Donald Trump to a psychiatrist, a medical professional, to follow through with a mental health competency exam.

Narcissistic personality disorder

It makes no sense for right wing Republicans to vote for a political leader who wears an American flag in his lapel but who calls for our nation's adversary, President Vladimir Putin, to hack a US citizens email.  Donald Trump made this personal request today because, like a child who can't get his own way, decides to embarass his parents in public. This is certainly immature behavior and another symptom of Donald Trump's emotional and behavioral instability.

Donald Trump was unpatrioitic and perhaps seditious when he called upon Russia to hack an American citizen's email!

DORAL, Fla. — Donald J. Trump said on Wednesday that he hoped Russian intelligence services had successfully hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, and encouraged them to publish whatever they may have stolen, essentially urging a foreign adversary to conduct cyberespionage against a former secretary of state.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said during a news conference here in an apparent reference to Mrs. Clinton’s deleted emails. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Mr. Trump’s call marked another bizarre moment in the mystery of whether Vladimir V. Putin’s government has been seeking to influence the United States’ presidential race.

Here are a few more symptoms:

1.  Immature behavior - making fun of a jounralist who has a disability.  This is bully behavior used by weak people who use the vulnerabilities of others to build the illusion of having power.

2.  Using multiple personalities- there is an illness now called http://www.healthyplace.com/abuse/dissociative-identity-disorder/dissociative-identity-disorder-did-dsm-5-criteria/

Dissociative Identity  Disorder (aka "DID") formerly known as multiple personality disorder. Two or more distinct identities or personality states are present, each with its own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to and thinking about the environment and self.

According to the DSM-5, personality states may be seen as an "experience of possession." These states "involve(s) marked discontinuity in sense of self and sense of agency, accompanied by related alterations in affect, behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, cognition, and/or sensory-motor functioning. These signs and symptoms may be observed by others or reported by the individual." 

3.  Narcissism - Donald Trump refers to himself everytime he speaks. Narcissistic Personality Disorder 

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. 

But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. You may be generally unhappy and disappointed when you're not given the special favors or admiration you believe you deserve. Others may not enjoy being around you, and you may find your relationships unfulfilling.

Narcissistic personality disorder treatment is centered around talk therapy (psychotherapy).

Mayor Michael Bloomberg has called attention to Donald Trump's mental instability because of his observations made about the erratic behaviors.

Today at the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Mayor Michael Bloomberg finally called for somebody to pay attention to Donald Trump's instable mental health.  As a registered nurse, I recommend a mental health evaluation for Donald Trump. Americans deserve to know if you are sane or not.

Coward Trump says he will not debate Sanders- the shark chokes

Although it makes no politically strategic sense for Donald Trump to engage in a circus debate with Bernie Sanders, set to happen before the national RNC and DNS conventions, the fact is, Trump was like the shark who chocked on his victim.  

Donald Trump made a huge mistake when he first agreed to debate Senator Sanders. He choked on the shark bait. 

Donald Trump made a huge "uuge!" mistake when he appeared to accept the Bernie Sanders debate challenge, but then thought better about his impulsive decision. (Surely, he received advice from the RNC to recall his initial response.)

This scenario demonstrates the politically inept Donald Trump. Bernie Sanders knew what he was doing to capture the headlines from the egotistical Trump. Brilliant! Give Trump a bone, a lure, a worm whatever bait is available. "A debate", ahhhhaaa!....Trump just couldn't refuse, until he figured out the disasterous outcome he was facing. Debating Bernie Sanders before the national conventions would be a win-win for Senator Bernie Sanders and a "loose-loose" for politically dumb Donald Trump.

Although "Senator Sanders versus Donald Trump" would no doubt be a blockbuster event, the fact is, the arguments would've been politically titilating, but moot. Obviously, Bernie Sanders would make debate mincemeat out of Trump but the "juice would not be worth the squeeze".

Nevertheless, the fact that Trump choked on this Sanders bait shows just how dangerously impulsive a leader he would be if (God Forbid) he were to be elected.  In fact, Trump has no qualifications to be nominated at the Republican National Convention, because he won his delegates by preaching bigotry, misogyny, bullying and stormtrooper violence. There are no public policies upon which Donald Trump has based his hate filled campaign. Quite cleaerly, Trump is not qualified to be nominated to run for the highest elected office in the free world. 

Donald Trump made the wrong impulsive response to the Senator Sanders debate challenge, but worse than that, he swallowed the bait.

Washington (CNN)- Donald Trump on Friday said he would not debate Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders because it would be "inappropriate" to square off against the candidate who currently trails Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary fight.

"Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged and Crooked Hillary Clinton and (Debbie) Wasserman-Schultz will not allow Bernie Sanders to win, and now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second-place finisher," Trump said in a statement.

Trump also said news networks "are not proving to be too generous to charitable causes," which he previously had said would be a goal of debating Sanders.

The two populist candidates had floated the idea of debating each other throughout the week. Sanders has been trying to debate Clinton ahead of the California primary on June 7, but she, too, declined.

Speaking to reporters in Los Angeles, Sanders said he was disappointed that Trump changed his mind.

"I hope that he changes his mind again. Mr. Trump is known to change his mind many times in a day," Sanders said. "Trump is a bully, he's a big tough guy. Well, I say to Mr. Trump, what are you afraid of?"

Trump's announcement on Friday is a far cry from a statement he made the day before, when he told supporters in Bismark, North Dakota, that he'd "love to debate Bernie."

"He's a dream," the real estate magnate (aka: hatenate) said. 

"If we can raise for maybe women's health issues or something. If we can raise $10 or $15 million for charity, which would be a very appropriate amount."

"I understand the television business very well. I think it would get high ratings," Trump added.

The idea of the two debating surfaced on Wednesday night, when ABC's Jimmy Kimmel told Trump he had a question from Sanders' campaign, asking if Trump would be willing to debate the Democratic hopeful.

Trump joked, "How much is he going to pay me?"

"That could happen, I've been saying that should happen anyway," he added. "If he paid a nice sum for charity, I would love to do that."

Minutes later, Sanders responded on Twitter.

"Game on," Sanders wrote. "I look forward to debating Donald Trump in California before the June 7 primary."

Later in the day, Sanders' campaign manager Jeff Weaver told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that he hoped Trump doesn't "chicken out" after the two talked about the possibility of a one-on-one debate.

The two candidates reiterated their support for a debate throughout Thursday.

(Let's add "coward" to the long and growing list of negative adjectives describing the unqualified Donald Trump.)

Governor Deval Patrick - Speaking from Experience at Democratic National Convention,

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/04/deval-patrick-speech-text_n_1852774.html

"In this great future, you can't forget your past" (Bob Marley)
It makes sense to highlight the Democratic National Convention speech by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, because of his first hand experience picking up the pieces of his predecessor's administration. Governor Mitt Romney was the one term governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007, who now wants to be President. Governor Patrick's message is that Romney can't do the job.

President Clinton's extraordinary support speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte NC solidified the party loyalists for President Obama's re-election. Maybe, his explanatory speech even convinced a few Independent voters to make an informed choice for President Obama. But, his speech was preceded by experienced points emphasized by Governor Patrick:
"In Massachusetts, we know Mitt Romney. By the time he left office, Massachusetts was 47th in the nation in job creation—during better economic times—and household income in our state was declining. He cut education deeper than anywhere else in America. Roads and bridges were crumbling. Business taxes were up, and business confidence was down. Our clean energy potential was stalled. And we had a structural budget deficit. Mitt Romney talks a lot about all the things he's fixed. I can tell you that Massachusetts wasn't one of them. He's a fine fellow and a great salesman, but as governor he was more interested in having the job than doing it."

"Today—with labor at the table—we've made the reforms in our pension and benefits systems, our schools, our transportation system and more, that Mr. Romney only talked about."  

Applying Governor Romney's past performance to current events certainly emphasizes Governor Patrick's statements:

1.  A litany of lies spooling out of the Romney campaign - the income assistance issue is one among many.  President Obama did not lessen "welfare to work" requirements in the income assistance laws.  This administration reform was a waiver requested by Republican governors.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/13/romney-obama-welfare_n_1772151.html 

"Independent news organizations, President Clinton, and a Republican author of welfare reform have already called (the Romney) attacks blatantly dishonest, but Romney’s campaign continues to run with them. Here are the facts: President Obama helped lead the welfare-to-work effort in the Illinois Senate in 1997, drawing praise from his Republican colleagues for his willingness to break with members of his own party. Under the Obama administration’s order, states would only be granted flexibility if they help 20 percent more people find work."

2.  Although the label "flip-flopper" is overused, there's no better way to describe Governor Romney's continual inconsistencies.  In fact, to coin a Jimmy Buffet line, Romney blew out a flip flop when he told David Gregory on "Meet the Press" how he would surely support some of the Obamacare, Affordable Care Act, provisions, like covering pre-existing conditions.  In multiple past interviews, Romney said he'd "repeal Obamacare".  What's worse than this recent flip-flop is how Romney doesn't explain how to support pre-existing conditions coverage, in the absence of a plan to provide for such coverage. Actuarial analysis shows, unless there's a mandate for people to buy health insurance, pre-existing coverage for everyone is unsustainable. (Republicans abhor "mandates")

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2200902/Meet-press-Romney-says-SUPPORTS-parts-Obamacare-wants-provisions.html

"Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, who promised early in his campaign to repeal President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, says he would keep several important parts of the overhaul. 'Of course there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I'm going to put in place,' he said in an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC's 'Meet the Press.' 'One is to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage.'"

3.  "Shooting before he aims...." paraphrasing President Obama.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/obama-romney-return-to-campaigning-after-sept-11-anniversary-new-jockeying-in-wisconsin/2012/09/12/a864c8a2-fca7-11e1-98c6-ec0a0a93f8eb_story.html 
Governor Romney inappropriately assaulted President Obama in the middle of a national security crises in Egypt and Libya. This error in timing and tone by Romney, absent condolences for the victims of the Libyan violence, including the death of our American Ambassador Stevens, justifiably calls into question his leadership style.  Romney doesn't demonstrate that he can manage a crises.

Governor Patrick's DNC speech was delivered from the point of view of his experience.  Governor Romney was a one term governor of Massachusetts.  Governor Patrick was re-elected.

Americans must consider Romney's poor past political performance and evaluate this against how our current President Obama has performed.   

President Obama has a history we are comfortable with - inheriting a dismal economy and two wars, he nevertheless maintained consistent and cool headed leadership.  Governor Patrick gave us the best advice we could ever ask for and it's our responsibility to re-elect President Obama.
