"It will be a horrible day"

4. The Secret Service is in an impossible situation.

We can't just arrest Trump. He's the official Republican nominee for President of the United States. Any more than we can arrest Mitch McConnell for 'dereliction of duty' for refusing to hold hearings on Obama's nominee for SCOTUS, or the fact that this Congress has been the least effective in the history of the US. Any more than we can arrest Hillary for passing Top-Secret emails to ... um, somebody ... that caused Benghazi.

When we start arresting our candidates for their 'speech' we are in deep do-do as a nation. But at the same time, when we allow candidates for national office suggest assassination as a method of winning an election we also have a problem.

The only thing we can hope for is that the Secret Service really stays on its toes, Donald Trump loses and loses really badly, and his followers crawl back into their dumpsters and wait for the next Fuhrer-wannabe to emerge.

(My absolute nightmare scenario is that Trump wins and pulls a Congressional majority with him. He starts implementing his nonsense and SCOTUS says, "Um, Sir, you can do that." And Trump replies "Mr Roberts has made his decision, now let him enforce it" and The Tea-Party Congress applauds Trump.)
