Dump Trump watch

The latest reason Republican Donald J. Trump has shown us that he is unfit to be president:

At a campaign rally Tuesday in North Carolina, the filterless Mr. Trump suggested that gun owners could stop Democrat Hillary Clinton from appointing liberal justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second Amendment. And, by the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said. “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know. But I tell you what, that will be a horrible day.”

He’s inciting people to violence, urging assassination even.

He’s dangerous.

This week, Republican Congressman Scott Rigell of Virginia Beach said he refuses to support Mr. Trump for president. He also resigned from the Republican Party.

When are more right-minded Republicans, including elected officials and candidates, going to repudiate Mr. Trump’s views and replace him as the GOP standard bearer for president?
