It is a possibility that a left-leaner is behind these mailings and it is a possibility that it is a Trump supporter. This is why I said earlier, we should probably wait before assigning motive. 

If you would have asked me back in 1980 who is responsible for the child murders in Atlanta, I would have guaranteed it was a white supremacist. I've learned not to draw conclusions.

I personally don't like his call for violence.

I mean, the whole "going low" commentary is based on a metaphorical boxing match between opponents in which one fights dirty with a low blow. Holder is just saying that if they are going to be dirty, then let's roll around in the mud.

Disclaimer: this is in no way intended to be interpreted as my agreement with Holder's statement, only an explanation.

If the Right had said "we'll go low" then you may have a point.

You can save the attempts at explanations and insults and have a good weekend.

It's not running away; it's realizing that the people you are talking to have assumed the task of telling you, what you are saying and you are no longer required in the conversation.

Have a good weekend. 

"figuratively"

But yeah, Trump deserves a great deal of blame for the current climate. I'm just amused by those that call him out and then advocate the exact same thing. 

If I had my wish, Trump would resign and admit he is part of the culture and looks for the Nation to heal and turn it over to President Pence. 

If you really wanted Trump to step down you'd stop defending everything he says and does.

I understand that feeling....
