Oh, (5.00 / 3) (#63)

the "second amendment" solution doesn't include murdering someone? He's not the first one to use it. Sharon Angle in Nevada suggested that all democrats should be murdered. Trump just narrowed it down to one.

Yes, we're all quite aware of the conservative victim syndrome. It's been playing out for quite a few decades. Trump says anything he wants and nobody is stopping him. He's normalizing all kinds of bad things but conservatives will continually apologize for him.

Trump is reckless, and can't communicate as to what he means.  Not a leader if he can't communicate and dangerous, if subject to misinterpretations by almost everyone.

Obama says bring a gun,

Trump is an idiot, save the outrage for something real

gun to a gunfight. So totally like telling your minions to murder your political opponent. Right?

You know the right wing in Israel did the same thing you guys are doing and it led to the assassination of Rabin. Stochastic terrorism seems to be a common thing with conservatives these days. Most recent example is Carly Fiorina and her spawning the murders in a Planned Parenthood Clinic.

He Never Said That

It only happened in your mind

Man, Trump fishes for the media and you guys without using bait. And he catches every time out

Only valid if you believe that all publicity (5.00 / 3) (#76)

is good publicity. Possibly a valid theory for headline-seeking celebrities and hucksters, but not for someone trying to persuade more than 39% or so of the voting population that he would make a good President of the United States.

silly boy is if they bring a knife to a fight we bring a gun which is nothing like what you are apologizing for.

Yes, Trump is very good at getting media attention. He doesn't believe there is such a thing as bad PR. As long as the media is paying attention he thinks it's all good. Well, that's really the problem because he's imploding the entire GOP with this strategy along with the imploding they are doing themselves.

Perhaps it is time for the GOP to fold their tent.

If someone was bringing a knife to a fight, can you blame one for bringing a gun :)

That is outrageous

A politician suggesting VIOLENCE...

My gun trumps your knife

Oh no, That is just unacceptable

But  but  where was the outrage police for that?

The Outrage police lose all credibility when they give free passes to their preferred politicians.

Look I get your point (none / 0) (#77)

But trump isn't getting the benefit of the doubt on this one considering how he so casually endorses violence at his own rallies.
