[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But seriously, isn't he getting so so off the charts that he is starting to endanger our democracy?

1.  Trump keeps stirring up anger and hatred over his political opponent and calls to lock her up and put her in jail.  At first his surrogates tried to say it was just a "quip," but since he keeps repeating this over and over at every campaign stop now, it's clear that he is totally serious about jailing his opponent, a move that is actually illegal in the United States.  (When Nixon called for his AG to assign a special prosecutor to his opponent, the AG resigned because of the illegality and immorality of the ask.)

2.  Now at rallies Trump is calling into question the results of the election if it does not go his way, saying it is rigged.  He is not giving any proof, but he is stirring up a lot of hate.  Just listen to the people who are following him -- one supporter telling Pence that she doesn't know what she will do if Trump doesn't win but she will want a revolution (and Pence says "don't say that); other Trump supporters calling for pitchforks and fire.  This is not a joke.  These people are serious.

3.  Trump will not accept the info from his security advisors telling him that the Russians were behind the hacking of the DNC and Clinton materials, and continually insisting that he doesn't even know if there WAS hacking and that it's certainly not proven that the Russians were behind it.  This is what the national intelligence people are telling him, but I guess he thinks they're all in cahoots with Obama/Clinton?  This is just insane.

4.  Trump was thrilled to use the media when it was to his advantage in getting 24/7 coverage to win the Republican nomination.  But now that he's losing in the polls he is stirring up hatred for the media at all of his rallies, wants to restrict what they're able to say, wants to make it easier to sue them and win money, and because of all the sexual assault coverage he's getting now wants to do anything he can to discredit them.  I don't know if anyone has seen tape of how he encourages his supporters to threaten the media teams who are covering his rallies, but is is scary and real.

This is all just getting to be too much.  It's like the rise of the Third Reich all up in here and I can't believe it can happen here.  WTF is going on?  I realize that people are poor and worried and disenfranchised, but this is just way, way beyond anything that we should be able to accept from a presidential candidate.  The RNC and Ryan have to cut this dangerous man off.  [/quote]

Donald, with your disdain for briefing books and debate prep, is that you?[/quote]
