"If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun." -- Barack Obummer in 2008
Today, while traveling by car to and from the grocery store, I was listening to National Public Radio (which I help to fund with my taxes ... so I was interested in what I was buying) and the subject going and coming was Trump's comments yesterday about the Second Amendment being overturned under Hellary Clinton. His comments ("If she picks her judges, Nothing you can do folks ... Although the Second Amendment people, I don't know, maybe there is") obviously can be interpreted two different ways: (See: Fox News Story.)
1) The Second Amendment people, having guns, could shoot her.
2) If all the Second Amendment advocates vote as a block, they might defeat her.
Now obviously, having the megaphone and a liberal crush on Hellary, these NPRers were advocating the number one choice ... with little acknowledgement of number two. (Actually this is what I first thought too.) And this also has been the stentorian approach of all the major networks and newspapers. However, to be fair, there really are two options and Trump says he meant the second.
Now Donald Trump is a pretty proficient Twitter user ... but can one tweet capture more attention than a chorus of megaphones?
Come on George. He said "If she picks her judges...." Obviously speaking about after she's elected, beyond the time any votes from the common folks would matter. And the Barrack quote was from a movie....
ReplyDeleteNo movie ... see: http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/06/14/obama-if-they-bring-a-knife-to-the-fight-we-bring-a-gun/
DeleteIf she is not elected, she doesn't pick the judges ... Seems clear to me.

ReplyDeleteI don't ... it is just that the alternative is so onerous.
DeleteTrump implied that Hillary (that's her name) had won the election. You cannot recommend judges before the election... or, it seems, at the end of your term as POTUS.
ReplyDeleteAnd Dubya wasn't GWB's name ... I did say that my initial reaction was the same as the media's ... but I'm trying to be fair (and balanced.)
Delete"Trying to be fair..." Ha ha ha ha hah! Thanks for the laugh.
