    That's the other thing this fucking Trump guy has done ... As re: oratory he's made Biden come across, comparatively speaking, as one of the greats.

    The idea that Clinton's ghoulish RFK remark is anywhere near what Trump said is pants-on-head crazy.

    One is bringing up life insurance at an inappropriate time, the other is hinting at hiring a hitman.

    B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but Biden!

    I get it now! Biden was Obama's Katrina(TM) all along. Right in front of our noses!

    Do some dogs only hear certain dog whistles?

    You're doing that thing again where a phrase or concept is way out of your wheelhouse but you heard smarter people say it so you are trying to use it too.

    "We should be prepared if something bad happens" is not a dog whistle. "If this likely situation happens, it would be good if the thing happened" is.

    See I think Hillary's remark in 2008 was just about as bad.

    Difference is, she apologized.

    Interesting... reading the Susan Collins op-ed yesterday about her reasoning for disavowing Trump... A big reason was that he won't apologize.

    He thinks apologizing shows weakness...

    He doesn't get that most people see it as a strength.

    Losers do, maybe. He wouldn't know. He isn't a loser.

    "Just as bad" is a judgment call. They weren't similar in content.

    One is clearly saying the act of murder would be a bad thing, the other is advocating it as a solution to a political problem.

    Poor Donald Trump, beloved for speaking like it is in his un-PC way yet so misunderstood at the same time.

    Perhaps if he'd fired his veterans affairs advisor Al Baldasaro who said Hillary should be "put in the firing line and shot for treason," his references to Second Amendment people stopping Clinton wouldn't be interpreted in a negative way. Or if he could speak better and make a coherent point before wandering off on an aside.

    No kidding.

    When did she apologize, Lugnuts? To whom?

    Watch the clip I posted. It's the same day she made the comments, and it's her first attempt to clarify her comments.
