A day after controversy erupted as a result of state Rep. Al Baldasaro’s provocative comments about presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, the Londonderry veteran is now tripling down on his charge that she has committed treason and should go before a firing squad.

Fair enough. But Trump’s alleged wealth doesn’t even register on the list of things that would make him a awful president.
Asked about Baldasaro’s comments, Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback said the agency is “aware of this matter and will conduct the appropriate investigation”.
“As a Republican, it is so nice to hear you cheering for what I just said”, he responded. “If you feel that way, keep that to yourself”.
The conventions come as a new Pew Study finds that less than half of both Democratic and Republican voters are satisfied with this year’s candidates- disappointment levels on par with the 1992 election between Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush.
Clinton’s campaign also released a statement saying that Baldasaro’s threat is another example of the risky rhetoric that Trump has promoted.
The Trump campaign distanced itself from Baldasaro’s remarks. Given Senator Collins is the former Chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee and now sits on the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, this is completely disturbing of her to consider.
New campaign finance reports released Wednesday reveal the state of the 2016 money race as candidates and their supportive groups turn their attention to the November election. “I’m not going to be the guy who forgets that I’m no longer governor”. He said it’s “terrific” that McIver, who is an employee of the Trump Organization, admitted inadvertently lifting the first lady’s phrasing from her 2008 convention speech word-for-word.
Reached Wednesday, Baldasaro refused to back down from the comments, according to the Boston Globe. Some of his constituents say Baldasaro’s outspoken nature is exactly why they like him. Something’s wrong there. I wish they’d made the documents public on why (Ambassador Chris Stevens) was there. Unabashedly sexist merchandise sold at the RNC is just a precursor to the many ways we can expect Hillary Clinton’s gender to be used against her while running against Donald Trump for the Oval Office. “Nobody knows the system better than me – which is why I alone can fix it”.

A Quinnipiac University poll conducted just before the conventions found Democrat Hillary Clinton leads Trump 47 – 35 percent among all NY state voters, and that Clinton leads in all age groups. Whether Baldasaro continues to embarrass New Hampshire as a state representative is up to the voters of Londonderry. “Some nut job is going to pick that up and take it literally”.
