Not only hinting at assassination but calling for it so a President Clinton can't pick justices ....


.... the US Supreme Court. This was less then 2 weeks after committing
treason by asking Russia to manipulate an American election by computer crimes.

I doubt Trump will see the end of the week as the republican party's nominee
and if he still stays in the race I expect the GOP to pull all support from him.

Trump's comments today were not just a joke that went bad or a call for votes
by gun owners but a call for the murder of Hillary Clinton. Today Trump crossed
a line too far and his run for the Presidency of the United States of America is
over.

.... you can interpret them in any other way but a death threat against a
future President H. Clinton in order to block her from doing her Constitutionally
prescribed duties as POTUS.

BTW Don does have some mob ties in his past too.

At this point, my CT side is going wild with ideas about him and Asshat and Snowden and Putin. They all have a common ally in Russia. At this point I wonder if they are on the Russian government dole.

First it was a try to swing the election with wikileaks, then this. I just don't see it as a coincidence. AND he won't release tax information that would tie him to groups, maybe undesirable and worse.

It may be the most hilarious routine in the history of comedy, but in the place you're in, it sounds like a serious threat.

Any politician with two brain cells to his/her name knows not to make jokes on the campaign trail about harm befalling his/her opponent.
