Trump was discussing the possibility that Clinton, the Democratic nominee, would be able to appoint liberal justices to the Supreme Court if she wins the race for the White House.
He then said that there was nothing that could be done in that scenario, before mentioning “Second Amendment folks.”
“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment,” Trump said to boos from the crowd.
“By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” he then added.
“Though the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know.”
The Clinton campaign responded with a statement, with campaign manager Robby Mook saying: “This is simple — what Trump is saying is dangerous. A person seeking to be President of the United States should not suggest violence in any way.”
On Twitter, a number of observers noted that it appeared that Trump was discussing the possibility, even if he were joking, that Clinton could be shot.

Well that should be an interesting visit from the Secret Service. i wonder if they get one of the guys charged with guarding him to just bitchslap the fool, of if they have a special agent to do that.

As soon as he goes off-script… just as predicted.
There used to be a saying back in the day:
"Don't stray from the demo…"

All he meant was that the 2As could go to the polls on Nov. 8 and keep her out of the White House.
That's the ticket.
Yeah. That's the ticket.

Did you notice the "OHHHH" expressed by the man in the red shirt behind Trump? The crowd got what he was saying altho you know the Trumpsters will come out "never happened".

this is not a gaffe.
this is not a joke.
this is not campaign rhetoric.
this is a presidential candidate suggesting that "the 2nd amendment people" do something if hrc is in the white house.

According to numbers today, Dumbf has about a 13% chance of calling the White House his home…
There is still plenty of time for that to change, though, so the heat must be kept high. (and as long as he's allowed to open his fly trap, that should be easy…)
