Damn!! I responded to your post and that of Lustylad (post #61) and when I hit enter I got a response saying my post was too long in the making and got deleted. So I am not going through Lustylad's list of those to whom bombs were sent and give all the negative comments Trump has made towards those individuals yet again.
George Soros
Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama
John Brennan
Eric Holder
Maxine Waters
Joe Biden
Robert DeNiro
Cory Booker
James Clapper
Kamala Harris
Tom Steyer
Let's just say that I found Trump statements that ranged from VERY negative for some to somewhat negative for others. Were the comments enough to incite Cesar Sayoc to send bombs to each of those individuals? Obviously Sayoc chose the people he chose for a reason. It was not done at random. And I find it more than coincidence that the bomb targets were individuals who had been the recipients of Trump's negativity in the past, most in the recent past.
As for Lustylad's comments:
Please cite the specific remarks Trump made toward each of the individuals to whom a fake bomb was mailed. Also explain how each Trump remark did more than just ridicule or make fun of each individual; tell us how it actively "spewed hatred"... please show how each Trump remark exceeded the usual bounds of decency you expect ALL politicians to observe (especially democrats, who presumably are careful to avoid the kind of "hateful rhetoric" you decry)... and how each Trump remark openly called for and directly precipitated the mailing of fake bombs to each individual.
Those explanations asked for are impossible to answer. All require OPINIONS based on a person's viewpoint. I think Trump's negative comments towards certain individuals gave Sayoc a good starting point for whom to send these bombs.
What I will say is Trump's negativity goes FAR beyond what other politicians do. He called Ted Cruz "lying Ted". He made very negative comments about the wife of Cruz. Trump alleged that the father of Ted Cruz was involved in the assassination of JFK.
And these comments were for a fellow Republican!! These comments and the comments made towards others go FAR beyond the "usual bounds of decency". Of course, my opinion.
