Trump makes a joke about shooting.........somebody.

[sinkspur]

Then....why didn't Trump just say that?  What is this penchant of his for opening mouth and inserting foot?  Is it deliberate, as some suspect?  Or is it just his special little form of eccentric stupidity?  Either way, it does NOT bode well as a character trait for the next Commander In Chief.  Just sayin....

When Trump is off script, he makes these ridiculous statements.  Just stream-of-consciousness stuff. 

And Presidents frequently have to be off script.  Who knows what he might say?  THAT is why Trump must be defeated.

It's downright scary....considering the things that have already come out of his mouth.  He's a wild-card, loose cannon, and an unknown factor....and it seems that every day now he's saying something that CAN be (and is being) construed as something really negative and/or really wacko.  He is torpedoing his own campaign, single-handedly.  Just as some of us suspected he intended to do all along.

Color me not surprised in the least.

Well...

If picked judges void the second amendment, what do you think is going to happen?

They should be impeached, as the Constitution provides for. There is no need to resort to anything but firing the judge.

[Smokin Joe]

This is Trump. He says outrageous things for publicity. He has already said that he could shoot someone and get elected.

I'm not shocked at this.

It isn't that I am worried about Trump personally going postal on Hillary.

However, somewhere out there it is entirely possible there is a person waiting for that epiphany moment when their newly adopted saviour will speak directly to them, and just maybe a trick of lighting, the background music on the teevee, or some other combination of chance effects will have them believe they are THE chosen one to go forth and do HIS bidding...

Rash, Hell, STUPID statements are all we need flying around to incite the crazies out there.

He's got Maine and Detroit all locked up now. 

Wait..I thought the Wall was supposed to go on the Southern border...

Can a Liberal-sided Court interpret the Amendment in a way that allows states or the U.S. to ban the sale of certain types of weapons or magazine capacity, absolutely. But lets get the facts right and stop freighting people with lies.
 It was NOT the court that banned assault weapons in 1994 but the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate and Bill Clinton signing it into law.   The Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) — officially, the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act — is a subsection of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a United States federal law that included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic weapons.

 If you need to have a boogeyman to be afraid of, start with Republicans losing the control of both houses, and Trump is helping to get that done.

Actually, the whole danged Congress is a boogeyman after these last couple of sessions, with rare exception. The 2nd is still a hot potato issue, and I don't think any of them aside from a few are foolish enough to mess with it. Americans haven't bought all those AR-15s over the past seven years to meekly surrender them.

Time for the GOP to enact Rule 9..

Kendal Casey UnruhToday at 1:39am · "Not a chance! Only in an alternate universe,"  said Curly Haugland, THE premier expert in the nation on RNC rules when I asked him about the potential of the RNC taking out Trump at a special meeting using Rule 9. He specified, as I had already been told, "otherwise"  is for incapacitation, like a stroke. He, as a grassroots conservative, knows it can't be used because we think Trump is erractic and "crazy". "Crazy is not 'otherwise'," he said. He would have to subject himself to a mental evaluation.Trump has to remove himself in order for the RNC to find another nominee. Curly has used the petition process of the 16 states to get a special meeting called. But here's the clincher, the RNC needs a quorum to take a vote at the meeting. One can petition for the meeting, but you can't force the RNC members to show up and vote.That is a very obvious factor that has been omiitted in the fundraising appeal for the petition drive being circulated by Free the Delegates PAC.(*No correlation with the Free the Delegates Convention movement). He said no way with the current RNC will the meeting get a quorum to remove Trump. Curly has credibility as he is a RNC National Committeeman, RNC Standing Rules Committee member, Convention rules Committee member, and author of the book "Delegates Unbound". He was the brainchild of the unbinding movement, and the motivation for my conscience clause. I truly wish, with every fiber of my being, there was a viable path to take. We believe in clarity and we agree we don't want sincere people being manipulated with false hope and hype because of the ulterior motive of a monetized effort. For those who still have good, local conservatives who are down 8 points because they are innocent by-standers to this trainwreck, it's time to focus on helping them. I have a lot of friends who are pro-famiy champs who need my help who are NOT supporting or endorsing Trump.

[Henry Noel]

Trump spokesman paraphrasing said it was about "unification", 2nd amendment supporters unite with their votes against someone who would nominate liberal judges to the SCOTUS.  Look up the exact quote.

He followed up the remark by saying "but that will be a horrible day." There's no doubt whatsoever what he was talking about.

He expects gun owners to rally behind that???

That is a Leftist caricature of the NRA members, not reality. The man is an embarrassment. Every time he opens his mouth he loses votes. 

[elhombrelibre]

Another cow-pie stepped in by Trump.  I said yesterday I'd give him until Friday and here he's beat me by three days with this gaffe.

Any some people want us to support this unprincipled, undisciplined blowhard.

But that will be a horrible day.....if/when 2nd Amendment supporters collectively vote against Hillary?  That's what the Trump camp is spinning this off as.  It makes absolutely no sense spun that way. 

Come on, folks.  We all know exactly what he was implying there.  It's the same reckless and asinine mentality that Trump has applied to other issues (ie knock the crap outta them).  Trump instigates his followers to do bad things.....or tries to.  We don't need a CIC that does that....or rather, we don't need yet another CIC that does that.
 

[GrouchoTex]

The more I think about it, the more upset I get. That braying jackass times this stuff perfectly. I am utterly convinced he's in this for Hillary.

You could not have scripted it any better, that's for sure.

[Jazzhead]

My mom and I watched the rally and we knew exactly what he meant.  The media is  determined to  destroy Trump, Because it is the only way Hillary can win .
Any media person with any common sense knows he meant 2nd amendment people get out the vote on election day and beat Hillary

Respectfully,  if Trump was urging the "Second Amendment people" to get out on election day,  why did he say that when that occurs it would be a "horrible day"?    Perhaps he wasn't endorsing violence, but he sure as heck was suggesting that a "Second Amendment person" would take matters into his/her own hands. 

That's a stunning thing for a candidate for President to say.   But it's par for the course with Trump.   The news cycle was poised to shine a light on the latest Clinton pay for play charges, but instead it's about Trump hinting at political violence.

Not only is Trump a political idiot, but his remark demeans his supporters as well.   He's admitting he leads a violence-prone mob.   I'm sure that's not the image the NRA wants to convey.   

Trump's got to go.   More than ever, the handwriting's on the wall - those who continue to support Trump are creating the conditions for a Democratic landslide.

Wow... do you have a link for this?

[catfish1957]

As I have stated before, I don't think Trump is capable of going 24 hours without a gaffe.

Wake up Ryan, McConnell, Preibus.......    CAN HIM NOW FOR MENTAL ILLNESS!!!!!!!!!

Well there is an election coming up...

No dice, he is clearing talking about the consequences of another liberal judge on the Supreme court which in which case he addressing the situation after the election.

What he meant, as is typical of Trump's word salad bars, will forever remain a mystery.

This is a nothing burger. It's playing to social media where they ignore facts and stick to narratives. If you want to stop an anti-Trump narrative, simply respond "Please post exactly what he said"

Yeah, whadda coinkydence (yet another one, rather). 

Every single time Hillary has some new scandal or point of outrage that Trump 'could be' focusing on (like the Orlando shooter's dad sitting right behind her)....and should be focusing on......he instead opts to make yet another outrageous comment that he knows, or should know by now, that the media will redirect their focus on.   My conclusion?  He's in on it.  He's doing nothing but helping Hillary while making the GOP look like a bunch of dumbasses (which they apparently are).
