Would this make an effective attack ad for Hillary? That clip is horrifying.

I assure you that some top-level Secret Service people will be having a talk with trump.
You don't joke about things like this ; there are too many crazies in the world, and in the US.
The thing is, trump should know the seriousness of what the Secret Service does and is all about, since he is currently being protected by them (for some time now).
trump is such an idiot !! This is unbelievable !

Is it really unbelievable? Despicable, revolting, and dangerous, certainly. But unbelievable? I have no trouble believing it, given that he isn't exactly the first to express such a sentiment, and given that his entire campaign has been one bats**t crazy thing after another.

I don't really find a presidential candidate joking about the assassination of his opponent funny.

Watch this video, and stare at old man in the red shirt on the right hand side of the screen.
Near the very end, you can tell the man acts with amazement and disgust, before the video ends.

I really hope you're the one joking if that's your first response to this. The level of stupidity required to incite violence against a presidential candidate as a presidential candidate is nigh on impossible. This kind of thing cannot be allowed to set a precedent of acceptable behavior in a democracy.

If he wants to tell jokes, he should go back to hosting the apprentice. Saying stuff like that when you are in his position can get people hurt or killed.

I think this might be the straw that breaks the back of Ryan, McConnell, et al.

Agreed.

There is just only so much you can take when it comes to this guy. The man can't stay on message for more then 2 days. He just gave a decent speech yesterday and now this is the only thing people are going to talk about.

Time for the GOP to cut their losses and punt.

Even as a joke, this kind of thing is unacceptable.  There are too many nuts out there who will think it's a serious suggestion.

How low the GOP has sunk in just 8 years...From this to Trumpism....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRq6Y4NmB6U

Trump simply represents the views of the woman who asked him that question.  We can only hope that Trump's massive loss this year will undermine the bigoted segment of the Republican base, to the extent that candidates who would rightfully cringe at such remarks, as McCain did, can win the presidential nomination again.

I apologize for my comment. I absolutely despise Donald Trump with a passion, and it was wrong for him to make these comments.

Trump is staying on message. The only time he goes off is when he reads the teleprompter of someone else's words, which is a rarity.

Debatable whether he meant "Shoot Clinton" or "Rise up and overthrow the judges," but either one is not something that anyone, let alone someone running for President, should say.

And the sad (for them) part is that they still have 3 more months of humiliation to go.

I don't think he was advocating what you guys think.

I think it was more of the Jeffersonian thought on the Second Amendment, armed militia takeover.

In either event, a not-so-wise thing to joke about.

Oh yeah, that would fit with his stupid claim that elections are rigged. To even mention this in that context is disgusting.

Exactly. No matter how you slice it, this was an incredibly stupid and dangerous thing to say.
