It is illegal to show dissent toward the Chinese government. Do you feel obligated to follow their law? Do you feel it would be rightful for them to come and arrest you?

We should arrest people who break out laws. I have nothing against that. I'm saying it is so far down the list of issues with our elections and democracy.

Also the "bad guys want this candidate to win" schtick has been going on forever. Especially with Russia. I think Al-Qaeda was pushing for Kerry in 2004 if I remember the old ads right.
