That was a fine people.
I cannot expect more than that. Ragged vocabulary with dry sentiment.
Dude couldn't settle himself for a robust statement after Jan 6.
Opinion: Trump deserves our sympathy. That doesn’t make him an acceptable candidate
> Vance ignored the reality that no one has done more to coarsen our political dialogue than Trump, whose language has grown ever more violent and divisive over time. It was Trump who called on Iowans to vote for him and defeat “all of the liars, cheaters, thugs, perverts, frauds, crooks, freaks, creeps”, just as it was Trump who slandered political opponents and immigrants as “vermin”.
> It is not an exaggeration to note that Trump has gloried in the language of political violence for more than a decade. Trump has configured his campaign around a paranoid martyrdom. He shares a strong currency of violence with his followers – during this and previous elections
> This country has too much gun violence – and too many guns. Most of the victims are not famous, or powerful. With children in grade schools now forced to take part in active shooter drills, it is long past time for all of us to get serious about curbing gun violence.
> A presidential race is not a WWW wrestling drama. Trump should be assessed – as anyone who would lead this country – on his behavior, his character, and his agenda. That responsibility does not disappear because someone took a shot at him. The prospect of a Trump presidency was as deeply unsettling before Saturday’s shooting incident – and it remains so after it.
> With his instinct for vaudeville and venom, and the Republican convention about to convene, Trump is likely to use this dangerous moment and event for political advantage.
