This kind of nonsense leaves me speechless
What the heck is going on with this guy and his rabid supporters?
CINCINNATI — In an arena normally reserved for ice hockey, the Donald Trump crowd was on edge.
Some wore shirts with slogans like “[Expletive] Your Feelings” or, in reference to the female Democratic nominee, “Trump that Bitch.” Others had buckets of popcorn, ready for the show. When the media entourage entered, thousands erupted in boos.
Anger and hostility were the most overwhelming sentiments at a Trump rally in Cincinnati last week, a deep sense of frustration, an us-versus-them mentality, and a belief that they are part of an unstoppable and underestimated movement. Unlike many in the country, however, these hard-core Trump followers do not believe the real estate mogul’s misfortunes are of his own making.
They believe what Trump has told them over and over, that this election is rigged, and if he loses, it will be because of a massive conspiracy to take him down.
At a time when trust in government is at a low point, Trump is actively stoking fears that a core tenet of American democracy is also in peril: that you can trust what happens at the ballot box.
His supporters here said they plan to go to their local precincts to look for illegal immigrants who may attempt to vote. They are worried that Democrats will load up buses of minorities and take them to vote several times in different areas of the city. They’ve heard rumors that boxes of Clinton votes are already waiting somewhere.
At rally in N.H., Trump supporters see conspiracy against him
And if Trump doesn’t win, some are even openly talking about violent rebellion and assassination, as fantastical and unhinged as that may seem.
“If she’s in office, I hope we can start a coup. She should be in prison or shot. That’s how I feel about it,” Dan Bowman, a 50-year-old contractor, said of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. “We’re going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that’s what it takes. There’s going to be a lot of bloodshed. But that’s what it’s going to take. . . . I would do whatever I can for my country.”
He then placed a Trump mask on his face and posed for pictures.
Read the entire article here, it is very concerning if not frightening:

Angry and frustrated voters drinking the Trump Kool-Aid.
There is a lot to certainly be angry and frustrated about with the state of our Nation, but Trump does not have the answers to what ails them.

Re: This kind of nonsense leaves me speechless
It amazes and frightens me how so many people who claim to love America clearly hate everything that defines america.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: This kind of nonsense leaves me speechless
And now drugs have entered the picture. Drump making claims that Hilliary may be using and insisting that they each take drugs testing before the debate on Wednesday. I'd much rather have him tested for psychosis and other mental health conditions. It is so difficult for the rest of us to understand his large following which in effect approves of sexual predatory behavior among males in the country. But the women supporters leave me aghast that they too see nothing illicit in Drump's behavior. If they cannot imagine themselves in an unwanted situation as we've been hearing about lately then what of their daughters or granddaughters. Can they honestly say it's okay? This whole mess scares me--we have women who are accepting of misogony and males ready to take up arms to cause their so-called revolution, becoming even more unhinged.

Here's an idea: The media ought to simply refuse to cover any Trump appearance, rally, townhall, etc. That way his followers get what they asked for, Trump will have nothing to bitch about, and the rest of would be spared the agony of watching and listening to him or the yahoos that threaten the rest of us.

I disagree. American needs to see this clown show in action. It is self-destructing right in front of the voting public that is trying to make up their mind IF he can be a trusted POTUS. It is becoming obvious is so many ways that he is not. These sideshows just add to it.

I think this wing of the R-Tribe has crossed the line .................. it could now be labeled a cult.

Re: This kind of nonsense leaves me speechless
The Trumpers are an interesting lot in many respects.
They cry for a coup, revolution, bloodshed, jailing political opponents, scream racial epithets at rallies,,,,,,,,,
then scream in offense if someone should suggest that they are uniformed, racist, fascist, etc.
Interesting

I think, rather than testing Drumpf & Hillary for drugs, they should both be required to take a heavy dose of sodium pentathol prior to taking the stage for the debate.
