Seriously, that's some scary rhetoric coming from a nominee by a major party for, well, any civilized Western country.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

It is the kind of thing the right says in Texas all the time. The country is doomed, everybody build your bunkers for the civil war.

Crazy assholes.

I'm going to take a step back from the swirling maelstrom of stink engulfing Donald Trump and those kissing his posterior, that would be you Sean Hannity, and admire the professional hit we've just witnessed. The Israeli assassins in Operation Wrath of God have absolutely nothing on the people who have just carried out an epic political attack on Trump that will be studied for years to come. This is how you turn what could be a series of troubling innuendos which would probably add up to half a nothingburger into a potentially campaign killing hit. But it only works if your target is an egomaniacal buffoon and is advised by cretins. And the media is a wholly owned subsidiary of the party making the attack.

Article goes on from there.  I think the article has it spot on.  And as a minor-league political hack myself i have to hand it to the Clinton campaign - this really has been a master-stroke against Trump.

Trump is a true martyr:

QuoteTrump:

They knew they would stop at nothing to try to stop me. But I never knew that it would be this vile... Nevertheless, I take all these slings and arrows gladly for you. I take them for our movement.

Trump then elaborates on his conspiracy theory that Bill Clinton planned to meet with attorney general Loretta Lynch on her airplane on an Arizona tarmac.

"He was never there to play golf, folks. Don't be foolish," Trump says.

(If Clinton wanted a secret meeting with Lynch, would he have done it in public?)

I believe they talked about her remaining in her position under a crooked Hillary Clinton administration. That's what I believe. That's what I believe folks. And I think that's what most people in this room believe.

Trump said he had a nice life and he could have kept living it "instead of going through this absolute horror show of lies."

Now I'm being punished for leaving the special club and revealing to you the terrible things that are going on with this country. Because I used to be part of the club, I'm the only one that can fix it.

Well maybe if our campaigns were about issues instead of TMZ bullshit that would not have worked.

Yeah, the moment he unambiguously said he has "not done those things" as the question was worded, I thought, "Well, that's it. Let's wait and see how many will come out and say otherwise, and if there's not more and possibly worse clips."

Trump is St. Sebastian.

If our campaigns were about issues, Trump would never had made it past the primaries.

Seems like Redstate is buying into the "the media is owned by the Democratic party" line.

Are they up to imprisoning their enemies and their lawyers as well?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Eh some sections of the media are probably closely aligned. Of course that ignores the enormous power of conservative media, they are always bragging about how everybody watches Fox News and nobody watches CNN and company. You know, until they need to whine about how the other team controls all the media.

Granted Redstate might not do that.
