Clinton Campaign Chair: 'The American People Can Handle The Truth' On UFOs (usatoday.com)

An anonymous reader writes: In what seems like an April Fools' Day prank story but is surprisingly real, Hillary Clinton's campaign chair, John Podesta, says that he has convinced Hillary Clinton to declassify as many documents as possible related to Area 51 and UFOs. On the matter of alien visitation, Clinton has previously stated that "I think we may have been [visited already]. We don't know for sure." Meanwhile, Democratic rival Bernie Sanders has been dismissive of UFO talk. And on the other side of the isle, everyone surely already knows how likely Republican nominee Donald Trump feels about illegal aliens. "The U.S. government could do a much better job in answering the quite legitimate questions that people have about what's going on with unidentified aerial phenomena," said John Podesta, who was also a chief of staff to President Bill Clinton.

Why the jab at Trump in the summary?

[Anonymous Coward]

I don't expect much from the submitters and editors here, but it's kind of pathetic to see jabs like the "And on the other side of the isle, everyone surely already knows how likely Republican nominee Donald Trump feels about illegal aliens." one in the summary.

Of course, "isle" should be "aisle", but that's not the editorial problem I'm referring to here.

It's the unnecessary attack on Trump that just isn't needed or valuable here.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Trump's position on illegal aliens. Upholding America's immigration and citizenship laws is something that a great many Americans feel is extremely important.

Even if left-leaning folks, like the submitter and perhaps the editors here, don't like Trump, they're going to have to accept that Trump is very likely going to be the next President of the United States of America.

A majority of Americans do support him now, and will support him during the election, even if they can't publicly admit it at this time.

In fact, by resorting to such pathetic jabs on such a constant basis, those on the left are actually driving more and more people to support Trump for President. These normal Americans are getting tired of leftists shitting all over American values and American laws. These normal Americans are getting tired of the disrespect that the left so often directs at them. These normal Americans are going to elect President Trump.

I think it's more likely about a good distraction. Get that conversation riled up to draw attention away from anything scandalous that would prevent her from getting elected.
