I'm REALLY worried about Hillary Clinton's safety. WingNuts are coming unglued.

[Saboburns]

All last night and into this morning I've watched the Trump surrogates lose their flipping minds. Becoming even more unhinged. And I kept thinking that somebody, somewhere is going over the edge.

And I'm really worried about some crazy 'doing something'.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't get this thought out of my head.

[Siwsan]

1. Agree. I've been in that worry mode about President Obama, for eight years

And it doesn't look like there's going to be any change, in that worry state.

[ProfessorGAC]

3. Or You Shouldn't Worry So Much

I know it's not a universal truth but a large proportion of these idiots are just hot air. The threat is, imo, exaggerated.

[trotsky]

7. I agree that most are cowards.

But all it takes is one.

[Siwsan]

10. Bingo

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Yeah, But That's Been True The Whole Time

It's not a new phenomenon. Booth was a nut. Czolgosz and Guiteau were nuts. Oswald was a lone nut. Hinckley, Fromme, et al.

All it takes in one is a true statement, but it isn't different just because Trump is running for POTUS.

[trotsky]

24. Sure, but I don't know, it just feels different this time.

So many more violent asswipes have been coaxed out of the woodwork and programmed with this insane notion that Hillary Clinton will just straight up murder people she doesn't like.

[Siwsan]

9. I've lived through far too many assasinations, attempted and completed, to not worry

I think we would all shudder if we knew how many attempts have been quietly thwarted.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. And Worrying Accomplishes What?

This stuff has been happening for a really long time. I don't understand how this is different. There have been lots of guns a long time. There have been people who are unhinged a long time. There have been people who talk about something like this, but don't actually follow through a long time.

Not grasping how the threat is greater now.

[Siwsan]

19. I know - it doesn't accomplish anything. It is just what some people do.

I wish I didn't worry, but I do. I have been dealing with a very hostile workplace situation and family tragedies, one after another, for the past 16 years. One issue drove me to retire early, the other to bury five of my family members, and I think it has just become an ingrained behavior pattern that now envelopes a myriad of other situations.

Trust me, it is my goal to reel it in. It will just take time.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Got You!

Just remember. There's always been nutjobs. There always will be. And guns ain't going away. (Alas)

But, you yourself said we have thwarted many attempts. That's the silver lining Siwsan! I knew i could find one in there someplace!

On Edit: From a personal perspective, hang in there. Lots of folks here who will lend a good word.

[Siwsan]

23. Silver linings are wonderful things, aren't they.

[deaniac21]

20. The professor always has the facts.

[mitch96]

2. I sneak peek on a few "forums"

And I agree.. these guys are nuts and are capable of ANYTHING...

4. Gun Control

This is why we really need to push this issue and push it hard.

If we had any real laws or regulations in place this wouldn't be something we'd have to worry about.

[malaise]

5. Have you forgotten the goons walking around with assault rifles outside Obama rallies?

Stop taking these internet bad boys so seriously. Most of them are cowards longing for some attention.

[Saboburns]

15. Oh I agree, I certainly don't fear these fools. Not at all.

But I just can't shake this feeling of impending doom. That something seriously bad is about to happen.

[Ilsa]

6. The high alert status from Obama's two terms will

need to be extended.

I hate that our country has come to this, and so many people are criminally insane or full of hate.

[Calculating]

8. Hillary is gonna be president of a broken country

Expect nothing but obstruction, and possible several states threatening to secede. The amount of outright hatred in our country is staggering at the moment. Seems like 25% of the country thinks Hillary is literally the Anti-Christ or something.

[trotsky]

11. Same as they thought about Obama. And yet somehow...

They still have their guns.

If they aren't rich, they pay less in taxes.

Those who had no health insurance now do.

The stock market is way up. The deficit is way down.

Will reality ever soak in for them?

[RKP5637]

12. In today's US, "Stupid" is a lifestyle. Nothing, will change their minds. For them, it's cool

to be stupid, ignorant and unable to learn new things. And whoa, discretionary thinking isn't even in their realm. Hillary was in my mind quite correct, Deplorables.

[Phentex]

21. Yep. There's so little for them to complain about they have to

make personal attacks instead. What a weird election.

[Mika]

13. It's the only thing the GOP has left. They belong in the dustbin of history. eom

[wordpix]

26. like the No Nothing party before them

[magicnpoetry]

14. I Agree, Except

I think the violence will be easier to express to unsuspecting citizens rather than penetrate Secret Service. But I expect some hillbillies to get their shoot on.

[Baitball Blogger]

16. Never let your guard down.

I've been reading some pretty unhinged comments on Facebook. Some Republican women get it and try to explain their disgust in Trump's statements, and others rush in to reinforce the opinion that, yes, what he said was deplorable, but Hillary must not be President. Reasoning is out the window for them.

[wordpix]

25. I was hoping Sec. Service would get on stage in Debate 2 and push the Lurker back

Don the Stalker Con did that on purpose to intimidate Hillary and I'm sure his wingnut crazies loved it.

[CentralMass]

27. I don't think she was intimidated in the slightest.

[tonyt53]

28. I think her Secret Service detail has daily briefings on the matter and are well prepared.

They also have wives, daughters, and sisters, and some are even female themselves. I feel sorry for those assigned to Trump.

[wncHillsupport]

29. I just hope that the Secret Service

is using more guards than usual and will be especially alert her first 6 months in office. Or maybe all the way through. In my little view, I think this is not a typical "there are always nutjobs" situation. Trump has called for her assassination at least twice if not three times. Three is far more than one nutjob out there just crazy enough to do it.
I wish we had such a thing as a clear full head helmet that was bulletproof! And I am serious about that. She can wear a vest but that only protects one portion of the body.

[Emilybemily]

30. I am too

They are insane, unhinged, and violent

[rock]

31. Easy now

The secret service is exceptional at what they do.

[Rex]

32. Their party leaders are egging it on.

You are not wrong imo.
