Why politicians of all stripes must speak out against Trump's statements about violence.

People tend to forget that there are only a few people prominent in politics who get the same level of protection that the POTUS gets. I'd guess the vast majority live in the same basic situation the rest of us shlubs do. If Trump successfully ignites political violence, he's thrown all those people under the bus. So, Senator/Representative/judge/staffer/media figure -- how comfortable are you with the knowledge that Trump is painting a target on you, your spouse, your children, your friends, and your extended family?
