Based on his latest comments re: 2nd Amendment Folks going after Hillary

...there should be near universal calls for him to drop out of the race from his own party and ours. He has crossed the line from insensitive to blatantly dangerous. Every Republican who has endorsed or who has supported him as the nominee should be tied to these comments until they disavow and un-endorse.

Our democracy is at risk when one major party candidate threatens another with death, no matter how veiled that threat may seem.

We cannot allow the media or his surrogates to chalk this up to Trump just being whacky or running an "assymetrical campaign". Our candidate has been threatened, Trump has put out a dog whistle to the craziest of the crazies. We don't have a democracy when political adversaries can threaten and intimidate their opponents with death.

Appalling...completely appalling.
