Is this the first time in American history that a Presidential candidate

threatened to put the other party's candidate in jail if he wins? Groper Don the Con is one sick fuck. With that comment, he frightened everyone who took a civics class across the democratic world.

It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. We're cautiously predicting a Hillary victory here.

He's finally up on criminal charges.

Once I learned how big of a problem he actually was, and especially upon learning how creepy he was being towards young women in the community that's when I started turning junk I received from him in to the police.

Trump is a Classic Abusive Male.... lThe pre debate rage, acts out with revenge, pressured speech, stalking, yelling lies at and about Hillary without thinking or a care...then, in the end of debate he gives Hillary a milk toast compliment and handshake... symbolic of make up sex to the abusive Trump.

So, women who follow him are programmed to comply/ obey the abuser...how dare Hillary have boundaries and be strong, independent. His male drones are a mirror image of Trump...

So, that's my opinion.

Pat Buchanan promised to arrest President Clinton in the 1999/2000 Presidential Campaign right after taking the Oath of Office.. When Candidates are full of this type of hyperbole, they are just throwing bones to their base, who want re affirmation of die hard commitment to their candidate..

What is more disturbing has threatened to return to Nixon like tactics of all out harassment to criminal investigation of anyone who had criticized him.

In fact, it's the favored tactic of Trump's buddy and fellow shitstain, Joe Arpaio. So it's just not that hard to figure out where he gets it from.

There was a little anti-Hillary text, then an ugly gif showing Trump physically battering Hillary. Be glad you missed it--especially victims of domestic violence, for whom it would have been a trigger that could easily ruin your day. Nobody needs that.

loudly agreed. He also said (regarding Trumps assertion that his behavior was not as bad as ISIS. 'If that's his standard, that's he's not as bad as ISIS, that's pretty low bar.'

At this point his own party is disowning him and he has a snowball's
chance in hell of being elected to any public office. So it really doesn't
matter what he says. It's all just showmanship from now on.
