I don't expect any wide-spread violence despite what the Trumpster says. What I find despicable is the irresponsibility of the statement, the dishonor it does to our entire democratic system. If Trump had his way we'd all turn into vigilantes, settling every score in the street. Rather than at the polls.

He's trying his hardest to chip away at the very definition of the country. That's what I find reprehensible.
