Donald Trump Challenges Russia to Find Hillary Clinton’s Missing Emails

DORAL, Fla. — Donald J. Trump said Wednesday that he hoped Russia had hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, essentially sanctioning a foreign power’s cyberspying of a secretary of state’s correspondence.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said, staring directly into the cameras. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Wow!

This should finish his candidacy. In normal times, party officials would meet and choose another candidate. Criminal activity is sufficient cause to dump a candidate and install another.

The same would have happened in any election before that.
