Donald Trump Gets His Wish: Hillary Clinton Emails Hacked Too

Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump of “casual inciting of violence” the day after he raised the possibility of “Second Amendment people” rising up against her.

In an Iowa campaign rally Wednesday afternoon, Clinton said Trump’s controversial comment on Tuesday was the latest in a long line of inappropriate remarks, including his recent criticism of Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the Muslim parents of a slain U.S. soldier, after they spoke out against him at the Democratic National Convention.

“And now his casual inciting of violence,” Clinton said Wednesday. “Every single one of these incidents shows us Donald Trump simply does not have the temperament to be president and commander in chief of the United States.”

Trump said at a North Carolina rally on Tuesday: “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. … Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

Trump’s campaign quickly issued a clarification that the Republican candidate didn’t want anyone to kill Clinton, and said he was simply talking about the political power of Second Amendment defenders at the ballot box.

Still, the remark played into an argument Clinton has been making for weeks that Trump is too unstable to lead. She joked Wednesday: “Friends don’t let friends vote for Trump.”

8 Simple Campaign Rules Donald Trump Broke This Week (Photos)

Breaking the normal rules of campaigning helped Donald Trump win the Republican nomination. But since the general election kicked off last week, Trump's rule-breaking has only hurt him. Here are 8 simple campaign rules he has broken, and links to how he broke them.
1. Kiss babies

And whatever you do, don't demand that they be ejected from your speeches.
2. Keep your wife's nude photos out of the press

This one seems like one of those rules you shouldn't even have to say.
3. Don't fight with the parents of a dead war hero

But if you do, don't double down. Or triple down. Too late? Uh-oh.
4. If you're going to let your spokeswoman accuse the current president of getting a soldier killed, get the dates right.

Idiot.
5. Don't suggest women who are sexually harassed should find other jobs.

Come on, man. What if it were your daughter? Wait -- you were talking about your daughter? Ivanka Trump, please talk to your dad.
6. Don't insult swing states.

Don't, for example, say the capitol of a crucial swing state looks like a "war zone." (Especially if you've never been to a war zone yourself.)
7. Don't speak ill of other people in your party

Ronald Reagan used to call this the 11th commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican," because the last thing you want is people in your party turning on you. Oops, too late.
8. Don't eat fried chicken with a knife and fork

But you might want to think about eating crow.
