“By the way if [Hillary Clinton] gets the pick – if she gets to pick her judges, there’s nothing you can do folks”, Trump said.

The ad was released the same day that Trump drew fire for suggesting that “Second Amendment people” could stop Clinton.
The Second Amendment provides a constitutional right to citizens to own guns.
But will Trump’s “Second Amendment” remarks backfire politically?
The comments could be another bruising moment for Trump who over the last 20 days has embroiled himself in controversy after controversy.
No; Mr. Trump was talking about what would happen if Ms. Clinton were elected.
See the quick responses from Hollywood on social media below. In just three hours, 2nd amendment became the top trending topic on Twitter, with more than 60,000 posts mentioning the term.
A surprising number of people who donated to former Republican primary candidates are jumping ship to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton rather than giving money to her rival, Donald Trump.
“So this is very important in November, if you care about your Second Amendment rights, to get out there and vote”. “You know why? Because you’re Americans”.
“It proves that most of the press is in the tank for Hillary Clinton”, he added.
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook didn’t take Trump’s comments as a get-out-the-vote message.
The Secret Service said that it was “aware” of Trump’s comment.
“There was public reporting on this topic back in 2010”, State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said. “This is a tremendous political movement”. Days later, Trump also endorsed Ryan. “You are responsible for what people hear”. “This is it”, she tweeted.
It would be “heartbreaking”, Pence said on “The Sean Hannity Show” Monday, if someone who had cooperated with the United States, “lost their life because of the recklessness and the carelessness of Hillary Clinton using a private server”. Protected by armed guards for thirty years.
The Republican nominee has repeatedly bashed his Democratic opponent for seeking to abolish gun rights. The “Second Amendment” remark is still a sloppy belly flop because it proves, once again, what Democrats spent their whole convention infomercial trying to sell: the argument that the guy doesn’t think carefully before he speaks.
The remarks come just a day after Trump attempted to right his campaign, delivering a sober, scripted speech on the economy – and sticking to the teleprompters, even as protesters interrupted him.
But Democrats called Trump’s remarks another sign of a candidate unfit for the White House.
He tweeted: “Don’t treat this as a political misstep”.
Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of CT, the state where 20 schoolchildren and six adult staff were shot dead by a deranged gunman at an elementary school in 2012, issued a stern rebuke of Trump for his comments.

Clinton’s supporters are hoping the latest Trump trip-up will lead yet more of his fellow Republicans to defect.
