Is Trump in danger of being assassinated?

[CaptainObvious]

You hope it works out that way. Lots of folks I know don't support Trump, but given the choice between him and Hillary, they'll vote for him. Including myself.

I don't know a single person that currently supports Trump. Not one, including myself. I do know that those same people, me too, will vote for Trump as they have said as much. I have a very eclectic social network due to my participation in alcohol and drug recovery programs. Park bench to Park Ave. as the saying goes.These people cross the entire spectrum, blue collar working class to business owners. Low income to 7 figures. Age ranges from 30's to 70's. Very average education to Masters degree and a couple of MD's. Male and female, Caucasian and minority. Gay and straight.
I also know quite a few Bernie supporters. What I don't see among my circle of friends and acquaintances, both social and business, is one person, not one currently supporting Hillary. This is not to say the Bernie followers won't go for Clinton, they probably will as they are very liberal, but they'll hold their nose while doing it. Holding noses while voting just about sums up everyone I know. It's an ugly time for America.

Nah, why bother? It will be more interesting to watch The Donald self-immolate as the general election approaches. Only a subset of the Republican base -- the crazy side of that peculiar family -- supports the guy. That won't be enough to get him beyond the nomination. And don't you think the other side has gathered all the evidence it needs to bury Trump insofar as the remainder of the electorate is concerned?

Admittedly, The Trump Show seems scary at times, but I think we all know how the series finale will end. So just sit back and enjoy the show.

An affable guy like Kasich could make the election a referendum on the Clintons and have a good chance to win. Trump will mobilize the Sanders supporters to get out and vote for her.

I know some VERY enthusiastic Trump supporters but what really shocked me was when I asked my mother whether she would vote for Hillary or Trump she said she did not know (she is a true swing voter). On the other hand she said she would never vote for Cruz.

And, don't forget, the latinos that are already here DON'T want more cheap working Mexicans to take their job away. So it plays with VOTING latinos. And, the Muslims that are here and can't stand ISIS and Al-queida, which is probably 90% of them, have Trumps vote. People are so predictable. Privately, they align with whatever interest is most urgent. They are consciously sorting the weights. Publicly, they say one thing, but privately they are far more cunning.

So don't be mislead - either calculated or not, it plays right into Trumps hands.

Why Latinos and Muslim Americans should support Trump

"(CNN)I'm Muslim American, and yet I now find myself rooting for Donald Trump to be the GOP presidential nominee. Here's a little secret: Many other Muslim and Latino activists also are cheering for Trump to defeat Ted Cruz for the Republican nod -- even if they won't admit it publicly.

Why? Trump could inspire a record number of Latinos and Muslim Americans to get involved in the 2016 election. But just as Marc Antony didn't come to praise Caesar but to bury him, they won't be doing so to support Trump but to defeat him.

Dean Obeidallah
We have already seen Latinos who have been long-time permanent legal residents of the United States finally apply for citizenship this year for the sole purpose of voting against Trump.
Latino and Muslim college students are now teaming up to protest at Trump rallies, as we saw recently in Chicago. And as someone who has been speaking before Muslim American groups frequently over the past few months, I can tell you that defeating Trump and his dangerously divisive ideology is the No. 1 priority.
A recent New York Times article cited an estimate by Ghazala Salam, head of the American Muslim Democratic Caucus of Florida,that voter registration in that state among Muslim Americans spiked by nearly 20 percent.


Donald Trump's bizarre war on women (Opinion)
The reality is that Trump's campaign of fear-mongering about Latinos and Muslims is a double-edged sword. On one hand, Trump has effectively ginned up fear of both communities to animate a big chunk of white GOP voters to support him..."

I would have thought Trump might be in some danger until recently. Has anyone besides me noticed that he seems to be becoming irrelevant despite all the attention he brought on himself early in the primary campaign. It's quite odd. If this trend continues, he may be totally irrelevant by the time the convention arrives. He'll be relegated to laughing stock material for late night TV monologues. I'm looking forward to the comedy hour on CNN tomorrow night. If I were Kasich, I'd call in sick.

But as time went on, she said, she came to realize that Trump’s entry into the race had always been about raising his own profile, not about actually winning a presidential nomination.

“Trump never intended to be the candidate. But his pride is too out of control to stop him now,” she wrote.

“He doesn't want the White House. He just wants to be able to say that he could have run the White House. He’s achieved that already and then some. If there is any question, take it from someone who was recruited to help the candidate succeed, and initially very much wanted him to do so.”

Trump campaign manager Lewandowski charged with battery

"Florida police have charged Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski with simple assault in connection with an incident earlier in the month involving a reporter.

Police in Jupiter, Florida, said Lewandowski surrendered Tuesday morning to face a misdemeanor charge of battery, NBC News reported. He is scheduled to appear before a judge on May 4.

A surveillance video released by the police appears to show Lewandowski grabbing Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields as she tried to ask Trump a question during a March 8 campaign event...."

It is curious that this impression I'm getting, primarily from Donald Trump himself, of the steadily increasing irrelevancy of his candidacy, is consistent with what this former Super PAC communications director is now saying.

I now doubt that he would run a campaign independent of the Republican party if he is denied the nomination, but I don't doubt that he would threaten to. Like the hapless and colorful candidates, both Presidential and Vice Presidential, of our past -- the Eagletons, Agnews, Perots, Quayles, Palins, etc., the Donald will long be remembered. As with these others, we won't soon forget 'The Donald.' He will not fade quickly into the media ether, like so many of the rest.

Trump set out to promote his name and his brand. Sadly for him, and luckily for the rest of us, this is one of his enterprises that is not working out as he might have come to believe it could. The only ones among whom his brand has not been irredeemably tarnished are the ones who can't afford to play on 'Trump' golf courses, stay in 'Trump' hotels, or live in 'Trump' branded condos, but at least they'll be able to play the nickel slots at 'Trump' branded casinos.

Bingo.
