U.S. Secret Service looking into Trump’s Second Amendment remarks

Hillary Clinton has sternly warned her Republican presidential rival Donald Trump about his “casual inciting” of violence, saying his startling remarks suggesting gun rights supporters could act against her “crossed the line”.

Mrs Clinton also said Mr Trump did not have the temperament to be president. The Republican nominee has made ME a point of emphasis in his campaign, holding two rallies here since late June.

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks”, Trump told a North Carolina campaign rally on Tuesday, accusing Clinton of wanting abolish the Second Amendment by appointing liberal justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“I also don’t think you are going to get anywhere fighting fire with fire”, said Lillian Haynes, a Bonita Springs resident.

“Although”, Trump quickly added, “the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. But I’ll tell you what, that will be a terrible day”. But, as Pace University political science Professor David Caputo told me, small tweaks are OK, but if the commission dumps its rules to accommodate a low-polling Johnson, “I think it would be very difficult” to say no to Trump’s demands for, say, time slots that are likely to draw top ratings or “fair” moderators. This time a suggestion that gun owners could solve the problem that is Hillary Clinton.

Clinton led Trump by more than 7 percentage points in a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday, up from a less than 3-percentage-point lead late last week.

And on Wednesday, Trump didn’t mention the Second Amendment flare-up.

“Imagine if the situations were reversed and Trump had featured a terrorist’s father at a campaign rally and Clinton had made the quip about guns”. Lisa Bolling, an elementary school teacher from Abingdon, Virginia, who attended Trump’s event, said his many stumbles can only help him. Tomorrow, Trump heads south to Florida; Clinton goes north to MI. He suggested that without voter ID laws, the chances of a “rigged system” could increase. But his campaign’s argument that he was merely exhorting supporters of the Second Amendment to vote makes little sense.

Allies of Trump and the association describe their political alliance as a marriage forged out of urgent necessity: an unlikely pairing of a former gun-control proponent who lives in a Manhattan skyscraper with an advocacy group typically seen as speaking for gun manufacturers and the hunters and sportsmen of Middle America. Clinton used a private email server while serving as secretary of state, prompting an FBI investigation into Clinton’s email practices.

Donald Trump has responded to the Republican defections by saying they are part of the establishment he is running against.

“Remember she said.it was for the wedding, the wedding of Chelsea, and it was for yoga classes”.

Its foreign affairs columnist, Thomas Friedman, goes so far this week as to liken Mr. Trumps remarks to the kind of talk that Israels leftists insist got Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin assassinated.

Clinton’s rally in Iowa marks her first return to the state since her narrow victory against Bernie Sanders in the Democratic caucuses in February.

The RealClearPolitics national poll average shows Clinton leading Trump by 48 percent to 40 percent.

The Secret Service is aware of the comments made earlier this afternoon. The activist was taken down by agents and escorted from the event.

“I’ve seen a shift in people thinking that Trump is the ‘in thing, ‘ is the fad – to people really beginning to question his judgment”, Wilcox said.

The goal of her speech on Thursday afternoon at manufacturing company in Warren, Michigan, was to play up her focus on job development, public works projects and tax policy while trying to undercut the Republican nominee’s approach.
