It no longer matters what he says or said, what matters now is what people do about it

She's right.
George Tiller was not killed by someone who read a newspaper. He was killed after being egged on by a major commentator of Fox "News," which is a political organization if ever there was one.
If someone takes a pot shot at Hillary, it will be because he got it into his head that Trump blessed the action. If Trump later says, "I had no idea," then this should be taken as more of a very truthful generalization that was, in this case, not true as a specific.

(51 posts)At least Hillary's surrounded by secret service. Warren, meanwhile, pokes the bear on a regular basis and is off in her corner of the world relatively isolated from the mainstream swarm of media.

(17,149 posts)My life would be shattered if she were assassinated. Trump and his violent, disturbed, and barbaric cult will stop at nothing to nullify her. They've painted a target on her, just as they painted a target on Gabby.
It damn well better not happen.

(522 posts)Let Trump spend few nights and days in the scummiest jail cell in NYC worrying about about what charges wI'll be brought against him.
Every time he has to "act oresidential" for a few hours he blows his top and spews even more horrible crap.
