While Donald Trump’s “second amendment” comment yesterday was largely a verbal distraction for a man whose mouth tends to outrun his brain, moments ago someone else appears to have had more serious intentions vis-a-vis Hillary Clinton, when during a speech Hillary was delivering in Des Moines, Iowa he rushed the stage and was promptly tackled by the secret service.

What is maybe more notable is that as some observers present have noted, Hillary barely flinched.

According to early reports, this was the second time in a week that an animal rights activist has forced the secret service to protect Clinton.
