I had to make a new thread about this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1260525

If there is audio of this it will be the story for a while.

Haha, and here I thought he'd go a few days without saying something absolutely disgusting and disqualifying.
There was nothing vague about it.
Closer to a day and a half.

The biggest problem with a Christian Taliban is that these guys are already armed to the teeth.
We have so many weapons that a major right-wing terror organization could probably do fairly well for a few years.

Just watch his supporters tell you there is, which is my point.

This absolutely goes sooooo far beyond what should be acceptable. The most dangerous single statement I've personally heard from the man. I know he's made dozens of typically campaign ending statements but suggesting armed revolt if his competition wins. The Republicans know he is likely going to lose, they need to put an end to this type of rhetoric or official unendorse the man but I know that won't happen.

Well, I know what Lawrence O'Donnell is opening his show with tonight.

Reminded me right away of this fox news clip: http://www.mediaite.com/online/juli...trump-he-cant-pivot-will-go-off-the-deep-end/
Fox host says he can't pivot and will say some dumb shit tomorrow or the next day. lol
No I think the natural defense is that it's just a joke lighten up.

oh god more dominating the news cycle from Trump with that comment.

The video makes it obvious what he is implying but I can't believe even he is dumb enough to say that

I guess the media has their coverage for the next day or two. Knowing Trump, he'll probably make it worse as well and prolong it out for the rest of the week.

I feel exactly the same way. It's so bizarre for me to not be excited about an upcoming mainline FF, but I just can't be, based on everything that's been shown so far, which has mostly been a huge disappointment to me.

Something tells me this is worse than Khantroversy.
Only a week? He could squeeze two out of this one if he tried.
I literally haven't been hyped since 12. There's nothing about the games after that one that appeal to me as a human being.
Here's what Benjy Sarlin tweeted:
And I agree that'll be the spin. You can't spin this as a joke. Not even Trump.

Also, looking at the Florida poll....Trump is getting 20% of the non-white vote (they don't break it down further). That's...that's unlikely, but whatever. Also, looking at Florida, they have her losing white college educated voters by 9 points. Which would be in line with (or a slight improvement) over Romney and McCain. In the other two polls, she's winning white, college educated voters by 10 points (Ohio) and 15 points (in PA).
Also, Hillary and Trump's favorable/unfavorables are tied (but only in Florida). I wish they'd give me a breakdown by race.

Yeah, that worked out so well for him the last 2 weeks.
This is the only route he could take. If he even pushes it as a joke, he's screwed. You don't joke about murdering her.

Can't see how that makes sense. This was about if she was president. Too late for 2nd amendment folks to vote for him if Clinton is already president.

Trump's syntax is so garbled he can probably back away from this. He just was to be willing to do it and not quadruple down like with the Khan's.

At least it was longer than the post-RNC pivot, where he went off the rails more or less at breakfast the next day.
Dude can't help himself. If he could go back to Feb/March, he should have invested in mental conditioning exercises to help train his brain to read a teleprompter.

We transitioned from "Lock Her Up!" to "Hang That Cunt!" way faster than I anticipated.

Is this Mateen dad story actually going to be a thing?
I agree. But that'll be the spin. That or "the NRA" will stop her, which makes less sense.

Also, the gun laws Tim Kaine would sign into law after an assassination of the POTUS would pretty fucking hardcore so this is bad political strategy too.
They'd have to kill Hillary and Kaine at the same time.

Fuck that noise. Fuck any republican trying to spin this any way but the obvious. This shit is too dangerous to try and duck.
It would have been. But not now. Prepare for a day or more of debates over what Trump meant in his speech today when referencing the Second Amendment people.

For anyone who is afraid of the Trump comeback, today should show why that's a pretty long shot to happen.
Trump is going to say more idiotic things as this keeps going on and the media has finally shunned him for it and they won't stop.
I don't see how people change their minds to voting for him if they haven't already.

Trump is such a fucking idiot. I don't know why every strategist still working for the RNC hasn't assaulted him with expletives in private. Let's recap, GAF:
His last economic policy was going to increase the debt by $10 trillion dollars, slash spending, and was essentially blended nonsense. He just now walked that back with a well rehearsed speech written word for word by conservative strategists into a vanilla Republican economic plan. Better yet, he completely behaved himself despite twelve protests during the speech. TWELVE. It was a reset, folks, a much needed reset after two weeks of being grilled for insulting a gold star family several times. It was a legitimate reset.
And now he just blew it by suggesting people should shoot the supreme court nominee. Wow. It just keeps happening.

He can't pivot or reset, folks. This is who he is.
If he had been running a semi decent campaign this may have just been overlooked/dismissed as a joke. Instead it's going to be trending on twitter soon, NBC and others picked up on it immediately, etc.

They probably do curse him out every chance they get, he's obviously driving them all insane.
Yup. Shockingly he's even worse than NYer's believed he was.
If one of the debates lands on PBS, he's going to be surrounded by women because it'll be Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff again lol
