Regarding the debate tonight. If Trump mentions Russia and their socalled bombing of ISIS, I
hope Hillary reminds him that Russia has basically halted their strikes and have now installed antiaircraft missile systems in Syria.
The problem is that ISIS HAVE NO AIRCRAFT. Trump wants to be pal-see wow-see with a dictator and country that want to shoot down American fighter jets. It can never be mentioned enough that DONALD TRUMP IS A DAMN DANGEROUS PERSON.
Please Hillary. Hammer that Putin nail into the coffin of Trump's campaign. Rachel brought this point up last evening on her show.

US Claims Right to Defend Against Russian Anti-Air Systems in Syria
In a warning to Russia, the Pentagon said Tuesday that the U.S. maintains the right to self-defense against advanced anti-aircraft systems sent to Syria by Moscow.
"This is something that we take very, very seriously -- the safety of our aircrews," Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said in response to reports that Russia sent highly mobile S-300 anti-air missile systems (known to NATO as the SA-23) to its naval facility in the northwestern Syrian port of Tartus over the weekend.
