If I recall correctly, all this inciting the supporters started at and became the normal mode

of operations with the palin rallies for McCain.
The trump is just carrying it a step farther to its logical conclusion.
Even between elections, the republicans were inciting violent behavior from the nation's capital during some of the floor debates.

This behavior was labeled deplorable then and it is deplorable now. No one can say trump is innocent of pushing it and sound creditable.

Trump encouraged attacks against people in his rally stating he would defend in court his supporters who attcks those of a different world-view at his rallies.
he threatened to brutally kill terrorists AND their families. He calls Mexicans murderers and rapists (to raucous cheers of his supporters)He calls his rivals LOSERS and threatens to sue anyone who offends him. He smirks at the weak and powerless in America

He saw thousands of people who do not like him and what he stands for and he ran away crying for his mommy.
This tough, self-made bankruptcy-enhanced billionaire who will face up to our nations vilest enemies and say: "Go ahead, make my day...LOSER!" saw thousands of American citizens who disagree with his ideals and his encouragement of hatred and bigotry against them and he simply ran away....And he wants to be President, he'll stare down Putin, He'll personally enter the homes of ISIS leaders and kill them Rambo-style...uh huh.
Gutless coward to the bone.

They were all over the Democratic meetings. Some were even bussed in.

And, don't forget Gabby Gifford being shot, and the deaths in that shooting, including an inocent, beautiful little girl.
