Trump 2nd Ammendment Comment proves..beyond doubt..he cannot contain himself..

Even when warned to,...(and I suspect he has been warned often)

he gets worse...Out of control....

.If he stays in, this comment will convince a few more percent that he is not fit to be President .
And more Republicans will come out against him..even more.........this is not a joke..or whatever his followers are going to tell us it is..

But this line..The 2nd Amendment comment...is really illegal..not immoral..

The others, well, immoral, stupid, lack of control, anger, no sympathy or whatever...

This one is illegal...plain and simple..(well it that simple,,but to a judge who deals with threats everyday in his court..it would be)..

now he's hoping some nutso will hear and take him up on it. I have no doubt that Trump thinks it's Hillary's fault he's doing so badly. He could never consider that it might be his own personality that's taking him down.

This makes it more dangerous for Hillary but she won't back down from him or from gun control measures.

is what he's drooling over. It's what he loves about Putin and other despots, the ability to misuse executive power with impunity.

... and try to make you believe he meant something different, but don't believe it.

We don't have to meet court-of-law prosecutorial standards before we can condemn and call-out behavior like that. We know EXACTLY what he meant! It was an inflammatory lie, followed by a call-to-action for his supporters.

IT WAS A THREAT!!

His denying what he meant by that is along the lines of someone denying that "see you next Tuesday" doesn't mean anything vulgar and misogynistic either.

seeing how violent his supporters have been at his rallies, I worry about what they will do about it (that is, encouraging the "Second Amendment people," as he calls them, to do "something&quot

Also the media, the secret service, and most importantly the GOP/RNC leadership

Paul Ryan cannot sit there and say, "I reject his comments, but support his candidacy"

he caused the line someone must do something now
