"I think we’ll win before getting to the convention, but I can tell you, if we didn’t and if we’re 20 votes short or if we’re, you know, 100 short and we’re at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400, cause we're way ahead of everybody. I don’t think you can say that we don’t get it automatically. I think it would be — I think you’d have riots. I think you'd have riots. You know, I'm representing a tremendous many, many millions of people."
- Donald Trump, CNN's "New Day," March 16, 2016
In a New York Times op-ed entitled "Take the Trump Quiz," Gail Collins presents us with a droll multiple choice quiz highlighting the horrors underlying the Donald Trump candidacy. Yes, Gail, Trump is despicable, but there is nothing amusing about this man, particularly after his warning, this week, of riots if he falls short of the mandatory delegate count and is not nominated.
Riots if he is not nominated? Some hear Trump's warning and remember the Democratic Convention in Chicago in 1968.
Me? I think of how Hitler threatened to let his Brownshirts run amok in August 1932 when, after the Nazis won 230 seats in the Reichstag and became the dominant political party in Germany, he was denied the chancellorship.
Sorry, Donald, but there won't be "riots" if you tell your supporters to respect the law and that you won't pay their legal fees if they are arrested. Moreover, God willing, should you not be nominated, there is nothing to prevent your marvelous self from mounting a third party candidacy, thereby making absolutely 100% certain that Hillary - barring an indictment - enters the White House.
Frightening, not droll.
Tens of millions will cast their vote for Hillary and Trump? Such a choice.In fact,you can't even say that a vote for one,is a vote against the other,since both stink.I'm hard pressed to think of two candidates that were ever more egotistical,and devoid of class and ethics.
ReplyDeletePunch him in the face-I'd date my daughter if she wasn't my daughter,I could see people jumping from the towers Trump,and private server/no one was killed/came under sniper fire Hillary.
Yuck.
