Baldasaro made national news two months ago when he stood behind Trump at a news conference at Trump Tower in New York City, where the candidate pushed back against reporters’ questions regarding money Trump said he raised for veterans.

“Al Baldasaro’s comments that Secretary Clinton should be “put in the firing line and shot” are disgusting, offensive and frighteningly commonplace in the party of Trump”, NHDP Chairman Ray Buckley said in a statement. “As usual, the liberal media is taking it out of context”.
“As far as I’m concerned, it is treason and the penalty for treason is the firing squad – or maybe it’s the electric chair now”. He called Baldasaro’s comments about Clinton “outside the bounds” but said Baldasaro “cares passionately” about being a good lawmaker.
“I’m afraid for her life”, said Joanna Casey, a Democrat and one of Baldasaro’s constituents from Londonderry. All of the Democrats have fallen in line behind Hillary Clinton, despite the FBI Director’s condemnation of her “extremely careless” handling of classified and top secret correspondence. “That’s treason”, he told the Daily Beast.

“Hillary Clinton’s legacy doesn’t have to be America’s legacy”, Trump said.
“As president, my father will change the labor laws that were put in place at a time when women weren’t a significant portion of the workplace, and he will focus on making quality childcare affordable and accessible for all”, she said.

Looking at the totality of the new polling, the advertising buys, and candidate travel and organization suggests that Donald Trump’s best possible path to the White House goes through the upper Midwest/Rust Belt region of the country, where he can try to turn out white working class voters in big numbers to turn states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin from blue to red. Publicly threatening the president and other government officials or their family members is punishable under federal statute, carrying a prison term of up to 10 years. With that, he summed up both the paradox and the power of his campaign – a billionaire who made common cause with struggling Americans alienated from the system, or at least a portion of them.
Veterans groups called the comments offensive. We are going to be considerate and compassionate to everyone.
The Trump campaign distanced itself from Baldasaro’s remarks.
(ThyBlackMan.com) As much as possible, I’ve been spending my evening hours viewing television and looking at the circus that’s formally labeled by the networks as the Republican National Convention.
When Cruz took the stage Wednesday, backed by the digital glow of a Jumbotron lit up with the American Flag and the Constitution, he gave a sweeping speech about freedom, without mentioning Trump’s name.
On Wednesday, Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort mused that Attorney General Loretta Lynch had “probably” given special information to Bill Clinton that helped his wife avoid criminal charges, during a brief airport meeting that Lynch has acknowledged was a mistake.
