After failing to secure a single delegate in Colorado nearly two weeks ago, angry Donald Trump supporters, reacting to the candidate’s claims of a ‘rigged’ nomination process, began taking matters into their own hands. This included issuing death threats to Colorado GOP chairman Steve House, who said he’s received emails warning him to hide his family and “pray” he makes it to the convention in Cleveland, as well as phone calls from people telling him to put a gun down his throat, and if he doesn’t they will come help him out.

But it seems House hasn’t been the sole target. At the RNC’s quarterly meeting in Florida this week, many other party leaders shared similar stories. ......

One party chair says a Trump supporter recently got in his face and promised “bloodshed” if he didn’t win the GOP nomination. An Indiana delegate who criticized Trump received a note warning against “traditional burial” that ended with, “We are watching you.”

The gap-toothed alt-right Trump supporters take their cues from Trump himself, who encourages violence at his rallies.

Seems this would be counter-productive.  It sure would be with me.

If Trump were smart, he would loudly and immediately demand that his supporters not ever threaten anyone, and that such behavior will not be encouraged or tolerated by his campaign.

"If" being the operative word.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
