84. "I suppose"?

How bad does it have to get?

Another Gabby Giffords tragedy? Another Kent State? Another long hot summer? God forbid, another assassination? Trumpf has been ramping up to something since he divulged Sen. Lindsey Graham's private phone number during one of his early rallies.

He's the predictable result of years of eating at the trough of right-wing hate. But no longer is he just a problem for the GOP. Like it or not, he's the nation's problem now, too.
Every bleepin' time he opens his mouth he endangers all of us.

I'm so glad the Breitbart reporter filed charges. May she be the first of a deluge.
