[Magdalen] The Donald Again.

[Grace Cangialosi]

I was mercifully out of the news "loop" for several days and heard nothing about any of the campaign stuff until yesterday. I was absolutely appalled, of course, by DT's remarks about the gun nuts--er, excuse me--the "second amendment people." 
Someone on NPR made the comment that there were some similar incendiary political speeches in Israel, and shortly after that, Rabin was assassinated.
