    How do you explain him saying "I hate Republicans and I hate Trump" if the guy was supposedly a conservative? If he was a conservative why did he donate to Act Blue? A far left super pack.

    I agree with this. trump has done terrible damage to the party and the body politic in general. He has made the country a less civil place and given rise to jerkwad politicians like matt gaetz. He ought to be loathed but not killed.

    oh then there was nothing particularly "ballsy" about his reaction. either way, he should have looked composed and confident not angry and defiant. he's a dangerous person and i fear the cowardly act by the gunman cemented our fate.

    You seem to be huffing a lot of copium to try to blame Trump instead of the would be assassin. How about sticking to the facts as your emotions seem unbalanced.

    There is nothing to explain. Trump is not conservative, and there are Republicans who hate what he has done to the Republican party and the conservative cause. I personally know life long Republicans who are embarrassed by what he has done to the party.

    and....."Second Amendment People could act against Hillary Clinton" - Donald Trump

    Of course it's unfortunate that someone would try to assassinate a presidential candidate, and yet I am not surprised given the amount of division Trump has brought into this country.

    make no mistake, trump 100% shoulders some of the blame. he's done nothing but sown incivility his entire political career. or maybe you haven't been paying attention?

    I fired the M16 in Army basic back in 1974. We were hitting targets 300 yards away right of the bat. A zeroed weapon was crucial to make those long shots.

    Your own party cemented your fate when they tried to hide a mentally ill person for years. No one did that but your own party comrade. Anger and defiant was the right reaction. He let America know he was not going to run from the fight.

    While possibly true it seems to me you are twisting yourself into a pretzel to try to get out of the most likely conclusion. That the guy was a leftist and that is why he said "I hate Republicans and I hate Trump" as well as why he donated to far left super packs.

    There are Establishment Republicans who don't want the US to get out of Ukraine.

    A civilian with a gun could have prevented this attack.

    Yes, many conservatives stand by our allies, but what makes you think this has anything to do with Ukraine?

    Trump rallies are strictly gun-free zones.

    The question is.....did the Secret Service allow this to happen, or did they just screw up?

    Stating the obvious is pretty much the opposite of that

    Yes. There were also police officers with guns that could have stopped him but they didn't. Why?

    I wouldn't say they did nothing. The local police seemed to be confused and took time to respond effectively. I would chalk that up to the usual fog and low ranking street cops doing essentially traffic control not being instantly ready to respond to reports of a possible shooter without back up.

    You fail to understand the dynamics going in the Republican Party. We know Trump is not a Republican he is a Populist. You don't like the Populist ideology. You want the Republican Party to go back to the 80's. The days of trying to please Democrats is finished warmonger.
