Not just Mr. Trump’s candidacy, but his entire guiding philosophy, has for decad…
There is a fraternal order of Trump supporters, mostly made up of the white men who constitute the hard core of his base. Like other fraternities, Delta Kappa Trump has its own status symbols, code words and initiation ceremonies and pledges of allegiance. And, like any insular group, the Fraternal…
I mean, so many people, you know, they're just worried about, you can't say something bad about Obama, not because you actually have a strong stance against his platform, but because that makes you a racist.

Emails are as private as private can get: it's when people talk about their lives, their loves, their hatreds, their petty opinions, their desperate pleas for forgiveness, their wild drunken boasts, their racy poems, their intimate grief, their sullen sign offs and boozy flirtations.

Now there are some lightweight thinkers who simplistically recite this common ruse: 'if you have nothing to hide, then hacking should not bother you.' That is hardly the point.

No kids, [hacking is] 'theft.' And, if it were happening to someone you like, you'd be screaming at the top of your lungs. Lucky us, it's only happening to Democrats!

To all the other people who we heard from, who thanked us for our courage and our bravery, or who were bold enough to disagree with us on principle — the people who didn’t threaten to bomb our homes or harm our families — I have something for you, too. To you, I give my gratitude. I’m grateful that…
To those of you who have invoked the name of longtime publisher Gene Pulliam, saying he is spinning in his grave, I give you his wife, Nina.

To those of you who have spit on, threatened with violence, screamed at and bullied the young people going door-to-door selling subscriptions, I give you those dozens of young men and women themselves.
