You realise, don't you, that Trump was setting up a scenario in which Hillary had won the election and was poised to destroy the 2nd amendment with her Supreme Court appointments?  What could the "2A people" do then to stop her?

Yes I agree, he was sprouting the fear of a presidential assassination as a valid reason for swinging voters to vote for him!

He implied(To express or indicate indirectly) if Clinton gets in she could be the target of a 2nd Amendment lunatic. You could comfortably infer he incited violence. He did so publicly and openly, you can be jailed for that, but this is the guy who said he can walk down the street and shoot somebody without fear of prosecution.

The guy rambles and goes back and forth, everyone knows that. If every 2A supporter voted for Trump the election would be an annihilation, he was trying to tap in to those voters.

The lunatic left are trying to paint him as a bigger nut job than he already is and that's fair play but don't cry foul when he returns fire. Hilarious last week reading an article in one of our papers saying Trump had gone too far attacking Hilary, wait till he brings up Bill and Monica lol.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Seems to be a brilliant strategy if the polls are anything to go by.  Hillary is suggesting that Georgia is now winnable.  Does Trump try to sandbag Red states and take money out of swing states?

MBB, I don't think the guy who basically is alleged to have used the Miss Universe competition like a convenience store has any moral ground to hold over the Clinton family. :D

Do you really think his GOP overlords want him opening that can of worms! :o

Hilary is Trump's best chance at winning, why would he want her assassinated?

The lunatic left are really reaching on this one.

It's not just the lunatic left....
Have a look at the footage of the comment.Watch the expression on the Trump supporter behind him.
That Republican's reaction suggests he may have "misinterpreted" the comment as well.

A growing number of Republicans and conservative commentators are expressing frustration with him drifting off-message with his comments.
He says dumb things.
The story is then about his dumb comments....and it goes on for days.

The fact is that it shows a lack of judgement and carelessness that you don't want in a leader.

Not to mention that Paul Ryan, Republican Speaker of the House, said that it seemed to be a bad attempt at a joke but it was something that shouldn't be joked about.  In other words, he thought he was joking about assassination and wasn't talking about 2A people voting.  Pity he didn't get the talking points in time!

Yet another example of Lods' point about Trump's foot-in-mouth comments taking the attention away from Hillary.

Yesterday, Hillary was embarrassed by the Orlando shooter's father appearing in shot behind her at a Florida rally.  Instead of just letting her twist in the wind, he just had to go on the offensive at one of his own rallies.  You'd think that he'd make sure that no dodgy characters were behind him when he pointed at the in-shot crowd behind him and boasted that he knew a lot of them.  But no.  He had a guy who said he had been a friend of Trump's for 30 years sitting in pretty much the same relative position as Mateen's father.  And that guy was forced to resign in disgrace from Congress because he was sexting Congressional pages, of whom some were underaged boys! 

Why in hell would he draw attention to a paedophile supporter?

Hillary: "It's time to have a woman in the White House!"

Bill: "Been there, done that!"

I'll go for both
It was a joke of his that's gone too far. ;D
It reminds me of that Malthouse/ McGuire meme where Eddie says..."We've done it Mick', we've ruined Carlton"
I can see Hillary saying to Trump...."Wéve done it Donald, We've destroyed the Republican party!" >:D

On another note...there may be a wild card that's about to impact on this contest.
With the world's attention on the Olympics the Russians have accused the Ukrainians of causing a bit of strife in Crimea.
As a result the Ukrainian forces have gone on to a high alert.
With the uncertainty surrounding the Presidential race it would be an opportune time for the Russians to "try something on" in the weeks and months ahead.

@Lods

On the other hand Lods the West is currently putting a bit of pressure on both the Russians and Chinese. We all know about what's happening at the Olympics but this Ukraine thing should be regarded with some skepticism. Also, in the last few days we've seen ScoMo suddenly pull the plug on the Chinese bid for the NSW electricity grid without much elaboration. Meanwhile, in the UK the Chinese bid to build a nuclear power station (in partnership with a French company) has suddenly been put under a high degree of scrutiny.
Convenient timing?

The Russo-Georgian War was a war between Georgia, Russia and the Russian-backed self-proclaimed republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The war took place in August 2008 following a period of worsening relations between Russia and Georgia, both formerly constituent republics of the Soviet Union.....Russia accused Georgia of "aggression against South Ossetia", and launched a large-scale land, air and sea invasion of Georgia on 8 August

There are other propitious circumstances this summer. The presidential election is paralysing the US, and the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, has hinted that as president he might recognise Russia’s annexation of Crimea. He seems uncertain as to where Ukraine actually is.
