A Democratic senator sent a warning to Donald Trump Saturday: if Hillary Clinton is killed “the blood will be on your hands.”
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) took to Twitter to condemn Trump’s comments about disarming Clinton’s bodyguards and seeing “what happens,” tweeting Trump directly with his warning.
Hey @realDonaldTrump, if you keep suggesting your supporters kill @HillaryClinton, someone will listen. The blood will be on your hands.

Murphy previously criticized Trump’s “Second Amendment people” remark, saying it qualified as an assassination threat and calling for a Secret Service investigation, according to The Hill.
Murphy is not the only Democrat speaking up. Former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who survived her own assassination attempt, released a statement on Twitter condemning the comments and calling Trump “reckless” and “irresponsible.”

Trump has not spoken out publicly about the comment since the event.
What matters here is that Trump’s deplorable supporters love him even more when he says shit like this. Which is why he keeps sayin’ it.
If something should happen to Hillary Clinton, Trump will simply say, “This is all Crooked Hillary’s fault.”
The media will accept that, shrug, and walk away.
More Dems need to keep responding this way. Keep the pressure on.
I agree, and don’t let him off easy on the birther issue. Less than 48 hours before he grudgingly said the truth, Trump was hemming and hawing with uncertainty as to where Obama was born. He needs to explain himself.
"Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates savaged Donald Trump in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Saturday, declaring the Republican presidential nominee “unqualified and unfit to be commander-in-chief.”
These folks just keeping signaling from green to red on Trump,polls are tightening (Supposedly) according to the MSM who help create the monster.

Since his birtherism became a story in the campaign, Donald Trump has gone into full meltdown mode. The Republican nominee has again called for Hillary Clinton to be killed, thrown a tantrum about CNN, and attacked a former Defense Secretary. "
