Libs: Violence is never acceptable, even if Trump is an immediate threat to harm countless people.

Also libs: Let's all thank the Secret Service for immediately killing the shooter.

Hard disagree. From what I'm reading, politicians are condemning an attempt at homicide, nothing more. Voters are following suit.

I seriously do not understand the "My idealogical rival got shot at, I now endorse my idealogical rival." take. Nobody that isn't already voting for Trump LIKES Trump.

I now endorse my idealogical rival.

I'm confused. Who is endorsing Trump? Clearly you don't mean wishing the man well or condemning this attempt on his life?
