Has Trump Gone Too Far?

Before coming to work this morning I was listening to one of those daytime talk shows in the backgound (view, real, ect...) and the host was telling her audiance that all Trump has to do when he becomes President is push a red button to launch Nukes.

I wouldn't hold the party accountable for what a talking head says. I don't think the Dems shy away from using the fear angle, but not the same way as Republicans.

In this race, you've got Clinton saying Trump's policies and glowing personality will put us at risk as he travels the globe sowing seeds of good will like 'We don't want you raping Mexicans, build us a wall' or 'Dictators like Putin are great!' That's using fear of possibilities.

Trump, and several other Republican candidates, use a more literal brand of fear. 'ISIS is in your neighborhood! We have to discriminantly bomb the crap out of the Middle East, obliterate all life in the desert because they're coming to kill your grandmother (who is already on the Obamacare hit list)!'
