Trump Warns of Violence if GOP Loses Midterm (party, states, support)

[Spot]

Seriously? The President of the United States is saying there will be violence if his party loses the midterms? I can't believe that there are still people supporting this idiot.

Wow, he's gone way beyond dog whistle politics with that one. Now, he's making threats, and, make no mistake, that's exactly what it is.

Meh.
Trump threatens violence of some kind to someone every time he speaks in public. We're deaf to it now.

Good. It’ll just encourage a bunch of folks to go out and vote - against Rs.

I think this dangerously close to inciting violence, and that is inexcusable in president, whose role includes working to keep the public safe.

If you had bothered to read the article, he said that Antifa is violent and will continue to be, which is a very true statement.

Judging by the people who tend to support Trump; did you expect anything less? He's rallying his base, not by encouraging them to get out and vote but to turn against their fellow Americans with acts of violence if they lose. That's the mentality of the people that he appeals to and that is what the rest of the country is up against. Vote while we still have that option!

That's what the National Guard is for.

the stock market will crash, violence, dogs and cats living together....... mass hysteria.

The President should be a bit more discreet (to say the least), but I've heard other prominent people say the same thing. And some even encourage it.
