LOL. Exactly my thought. Didn't take it as any threat, took it as something the press was going to misconstrue. He used that word, misconstrue. Some people, like Huffington Post, he says, will distort it ans screw up the story. CNN doesn't want to talk about his reaction, they put words in his mouth, that he thought Trump was making a joke about people getting violent. He says nobody he knows would take Trump as inciting violence.
Good interview for Trump. CNN thought this guy was going to give them something to hang their hook on, and he hangs them on their own hook.
Darrel Vickers is the fellow.
He says he believe the GOP has a superior platform, and he hadn't made up his mind - wonders from whom Trump will take his advice, want so understand Trump's character. Vickers is convinced rump is astute, has the kind of integrity we need in this country, has the moral fiber, is going to vote for Trump.
CNN Hillary spox thinks Vickers conceded that Trump joked about threatening Hillary with assassination. Holy crap, the guy was just interviewed, he did not concede that in any way shape or form.
Based on Vickers reaction, he is just one guy at one rally - of course if Vickers had said he took it as a threat, CNN would be saying this is proof his reaction was common.
Borger says "He obviously reacted becuase he thought is was a bad joke." No, Gloria, he said he reacted because he knew the press was going to overreact with false outrage. You, Gloria, are part of the problem.
Thanks for the wonderful summary!
