Trump says he would win even if he shot somebody

And he's probably right among the type of people who support him--in fact if he shot a latino or African-American they would probably cheer.

Donald Trump boasted that his support is so strong he could shoot someone in the middle of a crowded street and remain popular, CNN reports.

Said Trump: “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.”

A presidential candidate actually said that... Wow.

I wonder if he has ever seen Bullworth because he is almost a real life version of the character.

Nazis are into that kind of shit, drunk on power and in full display. I doubt the M$M will even care, they seem too busy fluffing The Don to notice.

a "Last Man Standing Shootout Debate" for Jan. 28th? Would the ratings grab be worth possible legal ramifications? Don't tell me someone at the network hasn't been thinking of this type of thing.
