In the last few hours I watched aghast as one Republican after another tried to excuse Trumps call for a Clinton assassination after she gets elected over the issue of guns. And now its clear why they are doing this. If they stand up and admit what Trump actually did yesterday - then they must be adults and take action. And they do not have the courage or the fortitude or just plain cojones to take that action.We are in uncharted waters but that does not mean that the way forward is not clear. It is.
The Secret Service should interview Donald Trump and ask him to explain his threatening comments.
Paul Ryan and every Republican leader should denounce in the strongest terms their GOP nominee suggesting conservatives could find the Supreme Court more favorable to their desires if his political rival was assassinated.
Paul Ryan and every Republican leader should revoke their endorsement of Donald Trump. At this point, what else could Trump do that would be worse than implying the positive impact of a political assassination?
The Republican Party needs to start examining quickly their options for removing the Republican nominee.
A bloody line has been crossed that cannot be ignored. At long last, Donald Trump has left the Republican Party few options but to act decisively and get this political train wreck off the tracks before something terrible happens.
Joe Scarborough is a former Republican member of the US House of Representatives from the state of Florida. He is the host of a popular morning show on MSNBC called MORNING JOE. Over the last year, he has been one of the exceptions on national TV giving Donald Trump a friendly reception and saying many pfsitivethings about him and his movement.
Now Scarborough calls for the Republican Party to tell Trump "your'e fired".

Hillary Clinton is a badly flawed weak candidate who should be easily beaten this year. Instead she is romping to a victory and will most likely lead her party taking control back of the Senate. And Donald Trump is to blame.
And Scarborough is right and should be listened to.

Man, that's the most hyperbolic, dishonest nonsense, I've ever seen squeezed into so few paragraphs. Congrats.
What is Joe Scarborough incorrect about in his essay?
Please explain the difference between hinted at and calling for, please. Are they synonymous terms? Per the article, "a bloody line has been crossed"? What bloody line has been crossed? Lets have some adult thought right here, why not?Joe Scarborough is a former Republican member of the US House of Representatives from the state of Florida.

Scarborough is absolutely correct. As a lifelong Republican, I tend to gravitate to the GOP candidate in any election. I have, however, voted for the Democratic candidate in a few instances when I know the Republican candidate is absolutely wrong for the job, for any number of reasons. There's no question the Republicans can count on a voter like me. And I know there is absolutely no way I would ever, ever vote for someone like Donald Trump, who is 1) not even a real Republican, 2) an extreme danger to this nation, and 3) giving all appearances of a man who is determined to destroy the party. How any real Republican voter fails to see what I see and what Scarborough sees and what many others see is beyond me.
Hillary Clinton is the second worst candidate of my lifetime. Donald Trump is the worst. Yes, Donald Trump is worse than Hillary Clinton. In my wildest dreams I never thought I'd say any candidate was worse than she is. That is just how bad Trump is.
My choices are a dishonest and too-entitled Democratic candidate, or a dishonest, divisive, crazed Democrat with an "R" next to his name. How in the hell did this happen?
The GOP need to get used to the idea of a President named Hillary, focus on keeping the House, Senate and Governerships, and disavow this man sooner rather than later.

You are correct. But the way I see, we have a choice between horrible candidate A who will do great harm to this country or horrible candidate B who will do just a little bit less harm to this country. In a bipolar world, election in this instance, either evil candidate A and evil candidate B is unacceptable to me. Which one is less unacceptable becomes irrelevant as I realize there are other options. Very few voters, the electorate realize this and think they are forced to choose between two terrible candidates with an R or D beside their name.
I opt for the third option, I am supporting and voting for Gary Johnson. I can't support horrible or evil even if the degree of horrible and evil are a bit different. You will still have evil and horrible in the Oval Office if you do. Our two major parties ought to be disbanded and thrown on the trash heap of history as they failed to do their job. Their job was to give us, the entire electorate a choice between two candidates who would have this country's well being in their heart, two candidates with different philosophies, but two candidates who would be good for this nation. Not two candidates that will push this country further down the road to its destruction.
I'm supporting Gary Johnson, personally I don't give a darn who wins between Trump and Clinton. Both are horrible. What is the difference when you are driving a car and you hit a concrete barriers going 150 miles per hour or hit it going 130. You're just as dead. That is the difference between Trump and Clinton. Your choice, not mine. I prefer to drive by the barrier at 40 and not hit anything.

Well said Pero and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Like you, I am voting for Gary Johnson in November. While I don't agree with everything he stands for, I stand back and look at Clinton and Trump, who are two of the most wretched people in this country, and if I think too hard about it, it will make me cry knowing that people actually support them - with enthusiasm, no less. I like you have no interest in which one of them wins. Just like i had no interest in which of my father's diseases was going to kill him. I just knew he was going to die and there was no "better option" for his death. Just as there is no "better option" of those two. Equally horrific for different reasons. But candidates who will have a terrible long lasting impact on this country.
I wanted to support a Kasich, a Rubio, a Pataki, rally for them, hold signs, make calls.....I would even have supported a Christie, a Paul, a Perry or a Walker. I would have voted for them with pride over a terrible candidate like Clinton. But come November, looking at my ballot, I know that absolutely nothing can make me fill in the circle next to either of their names. One of them will end up as our President. I will be able to look at myself in the mirror the next morning and for the next at least 4 years after that knowing that I had absolutely no part in sending him or her to the White House.
I am talking about your post.

It might show again that this candidate lets his words wander, where others would bite their tongues. But
I personally think that the so called call for an assassination is just so much muck being thrown by populist muck throwers and the candidate's mouth said intelligent things he had not yet realìzed the weight of. But it is obviously on everyone's mind judging by the hysteria it seema that the liberals know the problem is festering.
Having followed the discussions in a number of areas and seen in foreign countries and history books the question of violence being resorted to, when large parts of the population see their understanding of their legitimate rights infringed with no redress possible.
There was some talking head apologizing for Trump yesterday on CNN interviewed by Blitzer. The guy basically said Trump is an inarticulate person who speaks in half sentences and phrases and changes tense and order of sequence without the usual logical order necessary to properly make sense of what he is saying. He seemed to be saying that you cannot take anything Trump says at actual value using standard English and normal rules of interpreting based on context.
And he did that excusing what Trump said and claiming it was NOT any threat or call to kill Clinton.
It was the first time I have ever heard a candidate for President being excused because he had a combination of diarrhea of the mouth and just plain bad speaking skills. Truly amazing!!!!
Once that is out there - whats the point of listening to anything he says as its always going to be "thats not what I meant" as the all purpose ace up the sleeve literally trumping any criticism?
So you agree with Scarborough then and simply take exception to me bringing it up. You offered no constructive criticism of my post and failed to point out anything wrong with it.
You seem eager to attack the messenger rather than the actual content of the message itself.
You know exactly what I'm talking about. I'll give you a small example. You refer to Hillary as "romping" to victory. Her miniscule leads could hardly be characterized as "romping", but you knew that. This is typical of your posting style.

Good morning, Pero. :2wave:
The problem as I see it is the fact that whoever is elected - between the two major parties, if a third party doesn't get enough votes - is going to be the POTUS, which automatically guarantees that half the voters are not going to be happy, since we tend to be angry losers if our nominee is not chosen. What we don't need at this point is the same party controlling all three branches - at least gridlock prevents some things from happening, but with no checks and balances total control is inevitable! :thumbdown: Without it, it will be a replay of BHO's first years, which gave us Obamacare - and the majority is still unhappy about that - eight years later - mainly because of the lies that were told about cost and being able to keep your old plan, plus the hidden surprises that still keep popping up. Oy vey ist mir!

Its all in your heads, he said nothing at all specific, and specifically DID NOT CALL FOR the assassination of Hillary Clinton. That is poor interpretation, confirmation bias, of words that said nothing even close to anything so certain...I see no difference and the use of a phrase is simply stylistic.
As to the bloody line - on the show this morning Scarborough mentioned "crossing the rubicon" and they discussed it was Trump calling for the assassination of Clinton. That is the line.

However, should Hillary move towards totalitarianism by somehow fooling the public into electing her... and then putting more lefties on the Supreme Court and then in this manner try putting more gun restrictions on an established from the beginning inalienable right... well, she might have then bitten off more than she can chew.
Americans will no longer stand for such a thing.
