“They’re all talking about it so wonderfully because, you know, it’s called ‘freedom of the press,’ where you buy magazines and they tell you how to make these same bombs that I saw” Trump said. “They tell you how to make bombs. We should arrest the people that do that because they’re participating in crime. Instead they say ‘oh no you can’t do anything, that’s freedom of expression.’”
Without questioning the source, some material is illegal. Child porn for example. You'll never find someone who loves the 1st Amendment more than me, but where do you draw the line between information and advocating violence? I think that's what Trump is trying to articulate, and obviously Think Progress isn't going to provide any context.
That's for sure true, all of your points actually. But Trump has expressed disdain for freedom of the press and freedom of speech and freedom to peaceably assemble before. This is just more of those same thoughts. It's unsettling.
His whole interview can be seen here, with full context.

Looks like Daddy Bush is voting for Hillary.
Have we ever seen a political party do this in our lifetime? Top Republicans voting for Hillary:

I sure have not. I think this speaks volumes to how dangerous a Trump presidency could be. I commend these Republicans for putting our country ahead of party. Dallas News also endorsed Clinton recently...and they always endorse the GOP.

Not a real shock to me. The Bushes (George Sr. and Barbara) have developed a close relationship with the Clintons. I'm just kinda surprised it leaked out.
But Trump got the endorsement of Dan Quayle, that's gotta count for something, right?

They are putting the establishment ahead of the country, that's actually what they are doing. This is nothing but a move to protect their own interests. None of them had an issue with any of the other shit that's been going on, but all of a suddenit's country first when a coincidentally non-establishment candidate wins their nomination? I don't think so.

They are against him because he's a dangerous moron. He's ignorant in regards to foreign policy, domestic issues, economics, is a pathological liar, advocates violence, has unrealistic visions in regards to immigration, is a conspiracy nut, is associated with even more vile conspiracy nuts, and would be an absolute danger to this country. Any reasonable human being would disown such a person as their representative.
He's also not a Republican, not even close. He chose that platform because they were weak, easy to exploit, and chock full of rubes. Evangelicals who follow anybody who waves a bible in front of them (Trump of all people) and angry white men who blame their life problems on everyone but themselves (Mexicans, women, gays, liberals, take your pick.)
Re: 2016 Presidential Election Thread
The latest Florida poll has Hillary +5 . However both FL and OH average remain in the margin of error category, as does NC, and NV.
Even without all of those states, Hillary is still sitting at 273 walking in the door.
It's highly unlikely Trump will take these states either, but even if he did he would still lose.
Trump is also whining that the debate is going to be rigged. He knows this is going to be an emperor has no clothes moment and is prepping his followers ahead of time.
