The only way I'm pulling a lever on Trump is if he's standing over a trap door of a pit filled with alligators. I'm seriously wondering if I should vote libertarian or write-in Cthulhu.

I know that the secret service was quite concerned about Obama's safety, fearing that some milita or somthing might take a reasonably compitent shot at him. However as far as I know none of that had come to pass. Trump, on the other hand, had opponents rioting outside of his rallies and has already been rushed on stage once. A big concern for me would be him getting cut off during a protest that turns into a riot and his protection detail being overwhelmed.

However, I don't see Hillary pulling the same level of fanatical support, and am not sure Bernie supporters will vote for her... so it's really left to [strike]which party brings more of the subset that doesn't hate their candidate to the polls. In either case, lots of their own party (and the entire other party) hates the winner, and we're left with a President who wins a very small percentage of actual registered voters.[/strike] who has the best in with Diebold. Yay.

As for attempts on his life, I did wonder the same thing.
FIFY. My money's on Clinton...like it matters.

OTOH, if some unlikely how Trump wins, and his running mate has any kind of aura of reasonableness about him/her, the day efter the election, Trump will need Captain America's shield built into every podium he stands behind, he'll have to hire food tasters, and the Secret Service will need a Patriot battery to travel with the presidential protective detail pretty much anywhere Trump goes to stop missiles and planes flying right into his ass, essentially 24/7/1460.
And all presidential press conferences will have the press entering naked, and working in paper jumpsuits, to prevent any 20 of them from wearing explosive vests into the show and detonating. ;)

Interesting, While nationwide Trump is 13% behind Hillary, he is starting to pull ahead of her in some states where he was behind. She's been losing some ethnic voters also.

I'm just going to point out that the vast majority of assassins and would be assassins of US presidents have been Democrats and/or commies.

A) There's some serious rage directed at Trump. Frankly, he's got some good points, but the plan to eliminate the bottom 50% from the income tax I's disasterous - death tax would have never become so abusive/existed if everyone paid the same rate

B) As Roger Stone is part of his campaign, I wouldn't be surprised if he was shot for sympathy, though I really think the La Raza folks might get lucky.
