- he has cosied up to the tyrant Putin, called for Clinton to be hacked, and implied that he would like to see her assassinated
Cosied up with Putin? He hasn't recieved any money from him. Clinton has recieved millions from the despotic states of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Algeria, and so on. I think you could make a better case that she's cosied up with them. If you think they don't expect something in return you're incredibly naive. And listen, I'm not gonna sing Putins praises, he's not a good guy, but we don't want a contentious relationship with him. Watch this:

And he didn't call for Clinton to be hacked, she was ALREADY hacked. Trump said "I will tell you this, Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press." Didn't she say that there wasn't any classified material on that server? If that were the case, that would make it merely a foreign entity hacking a private citizen, which is a job for local law enforcement. Or... did she violate the Federal Records Act and destroy government documents? And what was in those emails that she wanted to destroy so badly? #thingsthatmakeyougohmm. That would make anything Russia put forward evidence of a crime. Saying this was very clever on Trump's part, believe it or not.
About the assassination bit, Trump's exact quote was: "Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the second amendment, by the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks. Although the second amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know. But I tell you what, that will be a horrible day, if Hillary gets to put her judges in, right now we're tied." Clearly he's talking about party unity, and if you care about the second amendment you should line up behind him.
