When will TRUMP give up his candidacy?

When will TRUMP give up his candidacy?

And pigs will fly, and there will be peace on earth and goodwill among all men.

No trying-to-be objective and fair journalist, no citizen who cares about the country and its future can ignore what Donald Trump said today. When he suggested that "The Second Amendment People" can stop Hillary Clinton he crossed a line with dangerous potential. By any objective analysis, this is a new low and unprecedented in the history of American presidential politics. This is no longer about policy, civility, decency or even temperament. This is a direct threat of violence against a political rival. It is not just against the norms of American politics, it raises a serious question of whether it is against the law. If any other citizen had said this about a Presidential candidate, would the Secret Service be investigating?

Candidate Trump will undoubtably issue an explanation; some of his surrogates are already engaged in trying to gloss it over, but once the words are out there they cannot be taken back. That is what inciting violence means.

To anyone who still pretends this is a normal election of Republican against Democrat, history is watching. And I suspect its verdict will be harsh. Many have tried to do a side-shuffle and issue statements saying they strongly disagree with his rhetoric but still support the candidate. That is becoming woefully insufficient. The rhetoric is the candidate.

This cannot be treated as just another outrageous moment in the campaign. We will see whether major newscasts explain how grave and unprecedented this is and whether the headlines in tomorrow's newspapers do it justice. We will soon know whether anyone who has publicly supported Trump explains how they can continue to do.

We are a democratic republic governed by the rule of law. We are an honest, fair and decent people. In trying to come to terms with today's discouraging development the best I can do is to summon our greatest political poet Abraham Lincoln for perspective:

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

Lincoln used these stirring words to end his First Inaugural Address. It was the eve of the Civil War and sadly his call for sanity, cohesion and peace was met with horrific violence that almost left our precious Union asunder. We cannot let that happen again.

You're not going to have to wait till 2032 for your meal of crow, buddy. Just 89 more days.

Now, I want you to be sure to show up here on November 9th, open up wide and clean your whole plate, m'kay?

Dude, really????

So in other words you are promoting "lip service" without actually doing it.

Paying more has consequences. Paying less has consequences.

You are arguing that only one side should act in spite of the consequences while the side you agree with should be exempt from any consequences or actions.

What consequences are there to paying more? I can tell you that paying less leads to jail time.

Actually, paying less almost never leads to jail time. It often doesn't result in even being found out. If found out it usually results in paying the money owed plus interest plus a monetary penalty. Nothing more.

Paying more certainly has consequences. Think about it for a moment. I'm sure you can figure it out.

We are an honest, fair and decent people.

Why Trump supporters can't see how dangerous this guy is is a mystery of huge proportion. .
