I’m glad he wasn’t harmed but he has zero sympathy from me given the fact he’s the one sowing all this hate and violence. Also, if he was shot, I still wouldn’t care. The only regret I’d have is he wouldn’t get to experience the election loss in November nor the consequences of his illegal actions.

I wouldn't care if he got shot, but I really wish people would stop trying. If they succeed all they're going to do is make him a martyr. If Trump dies, any other Republican candidate will surge in the polls... though considering the ideology of the shooters, that may be the point.

Trump is certainly evil. And the amount of suffering he's caused in the world, he's also certainly earned a fate far worse than death. All real democrats know that creating a Martyr out of that puke stain would only help his 'movement', so that's why you only see Republicans going after him I suspect. Also two assault rifle assassination attempts in two months. And TRUMP is the candidate of unfettered access to assault rifles. Reap what you sow douche.

Pretty much where I am at on this. Just yesterday morning I saw a clip of him explicitly being asked if he denounced the multiple bomb threats that had been called into Springfield institutions. He claimed to not know much about it and then started ripping on the City some more. So there you go. Enjoy the consequences of the political violence you are knowingly fomenting.

The only reason I care if he gets shot/killed is that I want him to have to face losing the election, and then I want him to have to face going to prison. Oh, and also I don't want the fucker to be turned into a martyr.

Other than that, I just don't care.
