Oh, he did not. He was speaking about the 2d amendment and he claimed Hillary was anti-gun. He pointed out that she had a bevy of armed guards, and said that they should put their guns down and we'll "see what happens." It's a colorful way to say that having arms for self-defense is thought to be just fine for someone like Hillary Clinton, a big shot politician, but they don't want you, the little people, to have the same right.

We're still, thankfully, a country where saying that won't get someone arrested, but don't worry folks, there are forces here in the US at work that would love to make that a reality.

what part of his economic plan does that -- for example. Is it the tariffs on imports from slave wage countries?
Brian Peacock wrote: and thus extend the deficit, the hope being that the potential boost it could offer businesses and consumers will, in time, plug some of that gap.

Time will tell. And if it doesn't work you know that Trump will blame everybody but himself.
Blaming everyone but himself? Have we not seen that constantly for the last 7 years?

What politician DOESN'T blame everyone but himself. If that's the objection to Trump, it's yet another objection that equally applies to every other person who tried to get nominated this go-round.

That's not entirely surprising. Romney is whiter than titaniumdioxide!

Latinos are white, too. They're as non-white as the Spanish and the Italians.

Here's something to actually take note of - Nate Silver's outfit, 538.com, has calculated Trump's odds of winning as having moved from 3% chance to 48% chance -- http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/nate- ... le/2602386

It's a dead heat.

Trump may get a high popular vote. Angry people, good turnout. Analysis is faulty for electoral vote.
