> I can make it work. If he is the nominee, I do think that increases the chance that he’ll be shot. Anything that gets him closer to winning makes people more willing to violate their personal morals for what they believe to be the greater good.

If nominated and elected, be sure he will have the best protection, adding to the already top notch secret service provides for modern presidents. It’s getting harder to assassinate presidents today. Gone re days of Lincoln, McKinley, Garfield, and Kennedy.
