2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHere is how you know that Trump MEANT to say that gun owners could attack Hillary:
Watch the video. He was CLEARLY talking about what they should do IF she WAS elected. And watch. He made the comment as a side comment, glib and crass in a wise-ass way, saying:
"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."
Look at that. The second sentence was one of his wise-ass side comments, he intentionally goes to SECOND AMENDMENT people, and he ends with the nasty and glib "I don't know." Look at the context, the manner, and the words. He is CLEARLY saying they could use their guns to stop her AFTER she got elected.
Even if he meant it as a joke, BAD JOKE. You just don't go there. STUPID and DANGEROUS!
He OBVIOUSLY did not mean to say that gun owners should unite to defeat Hillary at the polls BEFORE the election. There is just no way. They are LYING LIKE HELL! Just use common sense, watch the video, watch the manner in which he made this off the cuff comment, and you can see exactly what he MEANT to say. If he was trying to get second amendment people to unite to defeat her BEFORE the election, he would have said that more deliberately and completely, not is the wise-ass, glib, way he made this comment. Watch the video and just use common sense.
Trump belongs in a straight jacket with a muzzle on his face.

(29,228 posts)"it would be horrible"...
Meaning, of course, it would be horrible for someone to assassinate the President.
There isn't any other way to take this.
It would NOT be horrible (to Trump) for the "2nd amendment people" to vote for him.

(19,211 posts)I am still stunned this happened in America. Even more stunning is that Trump was forced to pull out of the race immediately. How can people defend this? There is no question he was talking about killing Hillary.

(617 posts)Most of them get the joke immediately. Stop trying to explain away what is plain to everyone else, Republicans! You look ridiculous.
