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.”

My Mom thinks he should do his speeches on a teleprompter so they can’t take anything out of context. I have told her I disagree, but he has to be careful with everything he says because they are looking for anything at this point.
Say what? WHO is he making look foolish??

Susan Collins on Trump: “He was suggesting that 2nd Amendment advocates around the country might come together to pressure the Senate.” “
!Susan Collins! The RINOest RINO of them all.
Dumb line, but he didn’t say “Maybe we’ll have to kill Romney.”
The Kennedys tried to keep John’s Addison Disease a secret and Johnson had his ‘spies’ dig it up and ran with it...Bobby Kennedy hated LBJ, and the ONLY way John could win the White House was thru Texas, LBJ, so he picked him as his V.P., but ignored him most of the time...
To this day, in my opinion, I think him and Poppy Bush had something to do with JFK getting hit...
I also think Poppy Bush had something to do with Reagan getting hit because the night before that, the Bushes and the Hinkleys were in Denver having dinner together...but where was the ‘son’ no one knew where was, and low and behold guess who just got released from Prison...ta da....
Pretty much every idiot that interviews him.
Just one of the very odd things one recalls after many years.
Another one about Agnew... can’t recall where I read it, but it snapped me to attention at the time.
One of the men designated as a bagman, made his visit to the Executive Office building where the VP offices are located. His testimony or revelation was that he was sitting in the waiting room of the Vice President of the United States and literally holding a paper A&P bag containing a bribe. Stunned him. He then commented on his surprise that politicians at that level could be bribed so cheaply.
Don’t you wish he was smart enough not to give them these openings in throwaway lines in a pubic rally. If you are going to say what he said, you can’t leave it there without fully explaiining what you mean.
Manafort is doing a bang-up job. “Hey, Mr. Trump, why not allude to the possibility of Hillary getting taken out? That’ll really help your pivot to economic issues.”
What do you think he meant?
Calm down.
Trump will have ample opportunity to explain what he said.
He throws stuff out there deliberately, and the press takes the bait.
He is allowing the press to reveal themselves.
Maybe the GOA or the law firm that argued Heller.
Pat Buchanan?! Ancient history. Pat is excellent to listen to and reflect upon, but he has not been top tier influential for years, decades even. Back during the Moral Majority days was when Pat had it going on, had the GOP world on a string for a while, reacting to his every remark.
Pat’s bothersome tendency to say what many interpret as anti-semitic remarks did not increase his popularity or help him to hold onto his fame. Pat has a sister Bay Buchanan, who is also quite the intellectual and just as bold in her speaking style.
Pat saw the Death of the West before most.

Good Point :>)
Trump can’t be this stupid. He is just throwing it for Hillary. This has been my fear all along and it seems to be true.
That is true. I just thought he was being pessimistic.
He detailed it in ‘Slouching toward Gomorrah.
No one needs to lie. He’s doing a fine job himself of sabotaging his campaign.
For far too many, politics is simply a road to wealth.
