Open Mouth. Insert Foot.

Trump is the Republican version of Joe Biden.  Biden is a walking gaffe machine but, as VP, that isn't much of a problem.  Besides, Joe is a genial guy that even I find entertaining.  After observing that federal judges appointed by Hillary Clinton would be amenable to eliminating the 2nd Amendment through court rulings, he offered the most clumsy 'vote for me' statement imaginable:

"By the way if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know."

When you consider how quickly his suggestion that Russia release the rest of Hillary's emails became prima facie evidence that he was committing treason, it will take even less time for this to be converted into a call for assassination.  The campaign later clarified with a slightly less awkward appeal for votes.  One of the best things about Trump is that he is not scripted.  One of the worst things about Trump is that he is not scripted.
