Trump hints at assassination of Hillary Clinton by gun rights supporters
The Guardian ^ | August 9, 2016 | David Smith

Posted on 08/09/2016 1:35:35 PM PDT by Pinkbell

Donald Trump has hinted at the assassination of Hillary Clinton by supporters of gun rights.

The Republican nominee was speaking at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, about the next president’s power to appoint supreme court justices. “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” he said, adding: “Although the second amendment people – maybe there is, I don’t know.”

The second amendment to the constitution protects the right of Americans to bear arms. Trump has accused his Democratic rival of wanting to abolish it, a charge that she denies.

“This is simple – what Trump is saying is dangerous,” said Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook. “A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way.”

Jason Miller, a communications adviser for the Trump campaign, attempted to explain the candidate’s comments. “It’s called the power of unification,” he said. “Second amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power. And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump.”

I’m sick of the crybabies here. Either fight or walk. Not you of course, directed at the wimps here. This is the last hope.

Agnew’s speech was written by Pat Buchanan.

Yes, a great opening, but immediately smothered by Trump’s propensity for shooting off his mouth.

He must be in league with Clinton or else beyond stupid.

Check my posts. Nobody is a bigger fan than I. Time for him to up his game. This was unnecessary and bled out any coverage of the terrorist's father attending a Hillary rally. Combine that with his unwillingness to buy media to put the bitch away and Trump is most assuredly on shaky ground.

That's my opinion.

When this forum was replete with Cruz mania I was one of a handful to go against the grain and champion Trump. So I am not afraid to go against the flow. Right now I see Trump at a pivot place. He can take command of the situation or let the circumstances push him around... and right now he is on defense - whereas there is a mountain of stuff he could bury Hillary with if he just bought the media to do it with.

That is my opinion.

This is getting ridiculous. Trump did not say anything about shooting people.

Yep. I've seen this practice lately referred to as 'gaslighting". I had to look it up.

Gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of psychological abuse in which a victim is manipulated into doubting their own memory, perception, and sanity.

Your not worried about these kinds of incidents?

As was pointed out above, these kinds of stupid comments are eating up

precious time the Trump campaign needs to start getting their narrative out.

We just got over this stupid Kahn thing and now this! Who knows what kind

of attacks Trump was getting ready to launch at Hillary this crap has just

negated.

Liars or not, the pack of curs that constitute the mainstream media is on a crusade, and picking words out of context, which is what they do best, is just one of the tools they use.

Maybe they do not think it a “lie” if there is some way they may fit these out-of-context statements into their narrative, then it becomes a seamless “whole” again.

It is of no use to try to explain away how The Donald may have originally intended to say something about the threat TO the Second Amendment, which would surely become “dead letter” after the appointments Herself would make to the Supreme Court, a distortion of jurisprudence that could remain with the territory once known as “the United States of America”, for decades into the future.

Willful ignorance on the part of the press and other media is one of the more difficult of hurdles to deal with.

Problem is that there is no way that he or anyone else could give a speech without these people would misconstrue something. And then they run with it because the media and the DNC and the GOPe are all in cahoots.

So the only thing is to fight back - and fight hard!

But look what it’s doing, Trump is not going to allow Hillary to run to the center. She’s going to be on the hook for supporting Muslims and being anti-Second Amendment. There is a method to Trump’s madness. And it will ultimately bear fruit.

"Funny reading the CBS site, which defended Clinton, saying she was not trying to ban guns. No, she was just trying to limit them..."

In Constitutional terms, that would be called "infringing", but then we don't follow that old piece of paper anymore in Obama's America.

I don’t think he wants to win. Every time something negative comes out about Hillary, Trump says or does some screwball remark to redirect the attention back to him, but at the expense of his polls. Are all the polls lying? That’s what I thought back in 2012. Some of them are correct. I hope he proves my assumptions wrong.

Trump is now going to have clarify that he doesn’t want Hillary assassinated otherwise they will run with this for days, feigning outrage, riling up the public, and causing more GOP defections.


Yep. And ZERO on CNN.com about Hillary’s daddy terrorist endorsement. Jouranlism is dead. These journos are no more than prostitutes for the Democrat party.
