Donald Trump on Tuesday said the Secret Service should be giving him protection — and he suggested partisan politics might be why the agency isn’t providing it. In a 90-minute interview with The Hill, the Republican presidential front-runner pointed out that he has attracted large crowds just like Barack Obama did eight years ago as a White House candidate and that by this point in the 2008 cycle, the Illinois senator had Secret

You mistake amusement for hateful.

Bless your little heart.

The Holy Spirit will take care of hateful spirits.

So.. the Holy Spirit is like your personal hit-man, "taking care of" anyone who criticizes your lack of paragraphs?

You're a bit twisted.

Wounded with the governor were: his personal body guard, Alabama State Trooper Capt. E. C. Dothard, hit in the stomach; Dora Thompson, a Wallace campaign volunteer, 5106 59th Ave., Rogers Heights, Md., and hit in the leg, a Secret Service agent, Nick Zarvos.

A few hours later at the Laurel Shopping Center, Wallace did shake hands against the advice of his Secret Service detail.

I answer you, though, because I still hope you can be reached.

Sounds like through conversations his campaign has made a request for protection and waiting on an answer....but just not a “formal” request. Guess a request “in writing” is required, even though death threats were received!

From the Secret Service website: "Protection is authorized by the DHS Secretary after consultation with the Congressional Advisory Committee. The Congressional Advisory Committee includes: Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, and one additional member selected by the others."

Trump doesn't automatically get Secret Service protection. He has to request it from DHS and it has to be approved by congressional leaders. That's the same for all other candidates. Give Trump's standing in the polls then he almost certainly qualifies. So he should quit complaining and put in the request for it.

I don’t think he has requested it. Maybe a little ‘pride” involved on Trump’s part?

Then he really has nothing to complain about, does he? If he requests it and is turned down then he might have cause for complaint.

Donald Trump has really got guts. The first thing we noticed at the Norcross rally last Sat was the woefully inadequate security. It was worrisome. You walked right in. No metal detectors, only a few cops standing around in the back and a few up near the stage and I counted about 4-5 private security with Trump.

We went around the side of the building where the Trump SUV’s were parked and waited for Trump to come out the side door. There were one or two security guys standing by an SUV. When Trump came out he walked over to a small crowd and was shaking hands and signing autographs. Then when he was driving past us to leave some woman walked right up to his open window and threw something in the window. She almost got arrested but still it could have been anything. Mr. GG2 was just shaking his head. I told Mr. GG2 I hope he’s wearing a vest at these events.

Like everything else in bo-rock’s transformed world.. double standards apply here. Mr. T, sir you might rethink this. The men YOU hire and YOU pay are far more likely to do a better job than those sent by ValJar and oh, the dark won. Why should an enemy send any to protect you and your family? You definitely need protection...just not from this source. AN ASIDE TO THE SS - this is no means a dig at you guys but only to state that WTP do not trust our pResident. With that, I’m certain you’d agree

WTP would be very angry should ANYTHING happen to TRUMP. Anger that might be shown in a variety of ways and cause a good deal of harm to many, including ourselves. The dam is about to break...it won’t take but a few more hits to do so

Me too. I was under the impression that all presidential candidates were entitled to SS protection as soon as they announced for President.

Thanks. I stand corrected on Wallace having Secret Service protection.

Indeed. How odd that you feel such antipathy toward people who simply request you use the paragraphs included in the original document.

If that were true then every Tom, Dick and Lindsey Graham would get Secret Service protection just by holding a news conference. You have to establish yourself as a serious candidate with a realistic chance of winning.

I thought the leading candidate is suppose to automatically get the Secret Service?

He needs Secret Service protection just from RINOs alone.
