Just to drive the point home: Trump has been talking to world leaders on unsecured lines without being briefed or prepped for the calls.

In all fairness, Putin probably pinky-swore that his people wouldn't eavesdrop on Trump.

yep

To piggyback off of this, you have to wonder if these ads actually *hurt* HRC given the frustration over everything having to be PC now.

I'm sure many saw Trump in the opposite light that those ads meant to paint him in - "alright, finally someone else who isn't afraid to say that out loud!"
