Paul Manafort going back to what he's good at though!

Have to play to your strengths as a campaign manager and assassination is his.

 

[Teggy]

Any other candidate who joked about having their opponent shot would be done immediately. This is just ridiculous.

 

[Voysa Reezun]

I knew I could count on this orange maniac to cut through Olympics coverage with yet another beyond-the-pale remark!

And it only took him inciting the kookiest Americans among us to violence against their own democratically-elected government!

Let's hope none of those nutbars in Trump's audiences have ever read The Pelican Brief, or they might get ideas.

 

[Crisco]

Seriously, what's the legal definition of a death threat in NC? It's gotta be pretty close....

Another good day for Paul Ryan

 

[NeoXChaos]

and to think Plinko thought that Cruz was easier to beat than Trump. Pinko I'm going to serve you major crow on November 9th.

 

[Brawndo Addict]

Jesus, now we have Trump arguing Hillary/judges should be assassinated if she wins. Will the death threat be treated as such in the course of the day/week or will Trump survive through yet another "well he didn't explicitly say it, so we can't pass judgement" scenario?

Glad this is getting some traction.

From a friend who went to the rally:

He just encouraged that if Hilary gets elected that 2nd ammendment people can take care of the Supreme Court nominees.... My jaw just dropped on the floor

 

[kess]

Only thing I'm concerned about is that this story might force him to quit.

At this point, I don't think I care. Paint all the morons who endorsed Trump orange, because they'll never get that shit off of them until the day they die.

 

[brainchild]

Definitely the craziest thing Trump has said as a presidential candidate. He should be disqualified for that remark.

 

[Iolo]

Glad this is getting some traction.

From a friend who went to the rally:

In the video an old guy behind Trump turns to his wife and says "wow".

You will say wow.

[User 463088]

Now I know what that gay staffer who did all of Queen's oppo feels like. I'm giving hot takes on the polling, and ya'll talking about... : looks up :

HE FUCKING SAID WHAT

Wasn't there a huge leak of all the DNCs oppo research on Trump? It's not like it was a difficult job lol

 

[CCS]

How many comments by Trump that are disqualifying are we now at?

I've lost count.

 

[TS-08]

Glad this is getting some traction.

From a friend who went to the rally:

There are a few people behind him in the video clearly reacting with shock as well. It's pretty clear how it was interpreted even from some rally goers.

 

[RustyNails]

McMullin is the captain now.

 

[Loudninja]

Some should make a sign "Days with a Pivot"

 

[brainchild]

LMAO

It took me a while to notice what he said too.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I'm imagining Paul Ryan doing some mundane task in the house, ordering some interns around and just generally trying to do his job.

When his cell phone buzzes with a text from someone.

He looks at it, sighs

"For the love of. COME ON"

 

[Black Mamba]

That person in charge of Trump's oppo files just cried some more, inside.

All that work may never go to use.

 

[BanGy.nz]

Does the secret service investigate someone who's under secret service protection? How would this work.

 

[Crocodile]

Welp that pivot sure did last a long time didn't folks

What he said about the Second Amendment was just vague enough that he and supporters will say he meant they should vote for him. Really not how it comes off though.

The problem is that if she's in a position to be selecting SC justices, that means there has already been a vote and Clinton has won. The power of the vote is irrelevant in this scenario. Therefore.......

EDIT: I guess I'm late on this point

 

[jbug617]

You know Trump says something fucked up if he uses the phrase "I don't know".

 

[Veritigo_X]

I'm loving that Trump supporters have like 5 different narratives for what Trump was really trying to say there. Stick with a story!

 

[B-Dubs]

Nah, that dude is weeping openly at this point.

The secret service investigates all threats, I assume this just makes it easier for them to do.

 

[Joeytj]

In the video an old guy behind Trump turns to his wife and says "wow".

You will say wow.

I said wow.

And yeah, so did that guy in the back, noticed him too.

 

[Emarv]

Any time someone tries to spin this on CNN, they should respond with "well, many people have said he actually meant..."

Oh I agree. But someone in the OT thread is already spinning it that way. When you're desperate, logic doesn't matter.

The more I think of it, the more I'm sure the Trump spin will rely heavily on pointing to Hillary's Bobby Kennedy quote. Not that it's the same thing, but prepare for it.

 

[BrokenFiction]

"Well, actually" is a phrase you never want to hear from MRAs, GG's or Trump Surrogates.

 

[Black Mamba]

Nah, that dude is weeping openly at this point.

You just DON'T UNDERSTAND, man. Do you KNOW how much dirt I have on him? It would have ruined his career if he didn't ALREADY RUIN it on his own!!!

Pages and PAGES! Just sitting there. LAUGHING AT ME. FUCK YOU OPPO FILES. FUCK YOU. 6 MONTHS FOR WHAT!?!?

He's probably got a warehouse of that shit, like at the end of Raider's, just sitting there in boxes upon boxes, never to be used.

Mook's response. Right on the money,

JUST IN: Statement from Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook responding to Trump's "second amendment" line

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

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.

I'm listening to the BBC on the NPR and they cut to it 10 minutes ago. Media is getting better and picking up this.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Trump campaign already has a statement out. They know he fucked up.

 

[kess]

Well, won't you look at that

 

[Spoiled Milk]

That doesn't even make any sense.

 

[Y2Kev]

Holy shit. What a duck up! That statement is a dagger.

Plouffe is Nostradamus:

David Plouffe ‏@davidplouffe 7h7 hours ago
When neutered and semi scripted Trump does not improve his close to fatal position in the race, have to assume the crazy comes out big time

David Plouffe ‏@davidplouffe 11m11 minutes ago
How dare the biased media report Trump suggested Hillary Clinton be assassinated when he did just that.

 

[teiresias]

Trump campaign already has a statement out. They know he fucked up.

Bwaahahaha. I'm sorry, there is absolutely no reason to reference the second amendment if you want to discuss galvanizing people to vote . . . ABSOLUTELY NONE . . . get bent Trump!

 

[brainchild]

Bahahah

 

[User1608]

I can't believe it.

 

[Crocodile]

I think that's the fastest the Trump campaign has ever responded to any controversy they've made. Of course the response was SHIT but I "appreciate" the speed of the response

 

[nature boy]

There goes the "unforced errors" Hannity asked Trump not to do.

Although they'll blame it on the liberal media.

 

[teiresias]

Already on HuffPo. Seems mainstream channels (at least their web presence) are slow on the uptake though.

 

[Geg]

So uh... just how good is security & secret service protection at campaign events and such? I'd already been worried about some crazy Trump fan trying something this election and now I am even more
