A guest on Tuesday’s MTP Daily show said Mike Pence is like the guy at the circus who has to follow the elephants around with a shovel and clean up after them.

He was talking, of course, about Comrade Trump’s latest trip off the reservation when he suggested Tuesday that Hillary Clinton and her judges will take away people’s guns. Nothing could be done at that point, he said. —except that may “2nd Amendment people” might take some action.

Have a listen.

The implication was that once the court is stacked with lefties, violence might take place. It was a gaffe that politicos quickly jumped on forcing Trump’s gals and guys to try to put out another fire.

The campaign quickly sprang into action.

Mike Pence grabbed his shovel and started stacking.

Then, a statement was issued.

“It’s called the power of unification – 2^nd Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power. And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump.” – Jason Miller, Senior Communications Advisor

That’s not what Trump said. He wasn’t asking for people to go to the polls. He was talking about action being taken after the votes had long ago been counted. When it’s “too late” to do anything politically about it.

It turns out guns weren’t needed for the death of the Republican Party. Just one man’s words.
