​Well, Trump has already said the "second amendment people" might be able
to impose a second amendment remedy; and Trump has also said Hillary's
secret service protection agents should stop using guns. So Adrian you tell
me, what do you think that's code for?  And as bad as this is imagine if
Trump wasn't just a private citizen but was a sitting president and he
refused to accept the results of an election when he lost his reelection
bid. That nightmare scenario could happen in 4 years. Maybe Trump would end
up winning this confrontation maybe he wouldn't but either way it wouldn't
be much fun, Syria isn't the only country that can have a civil war.
