We don't have to stretch the truth to win.

He should not be in the same room as the President. SS should note this for the next debate.

It is important and not stretched.

He was asked how he felt when someone called your dad a liar. I guess a lot of sons would have said the same thing.

The first poster is saying the threat was in the past and not that the threat of physically assaulting the president was justified.

The fact that he actually considered assaulting the President would seem to make this a no-brainer. Let him watch it off-site on TV, and if he can't stomach watching any criticism of dear old dad's "policies", then Ann can deliver the dire news about the 3rd debate outcome in person.

It would be stupid. He's not a threat and it would make the Secret Service appear political.

Its enough that he showed his immaturity.

The notion that a prep school product who has probably never been in a real fight in his life is going to "take a swing" at anybody is simply preposterous.

he is a grown up and should be able to handle people opposing the political ideas of his father.
