The Hill reports on today’s remarks from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump…and, holy shit folks:

Trump was discussing the possibility that Clinton, the Democratic nominee, would be able to appoint liberal justices to the Supreme Court if she wins the race for the White House…

“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment,” Trump said to boos from the crowd.

“By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” he then added.

“Though the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.” [Pols emphasis]

Anybody out there want to tell us this isn’t exactly what it sounds like?
