Tom Nichols: Trump Is ‘Trying to Use [Assassination Attempts] to Bully His Opponents into Being Quiet’

EXCERPT:

NICHOLS: “That's what I was talking about earlier, when I said these folks will go shopping, you know, for somebody to say -- and if they don't get the message to engage in violence, they'll intuit it. They'll say, ah, you know, so and so said Donald Trump would be bad for the economy. I think that's very clear. He meant for me to go take out Donald Trump. I mean, at some point that you just reduce this to don't say anything at all, which is what Donald Trump wants right now, because he's losing and he's scared, and he's trying to use this to -- to bully his opponents into being quiet.”
