I will have to say I find it ironic and hilarious that Hillary Clinton stated Donald Trump should be held responsible for the violence at his rallies.

Men its very simple when one makes statements at his events such as
"I love the old days, you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They'd be carried out in a stretcher, folks," Trump had said of one protester. Then: "I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you."
If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees."
He also said that the young man who was sucker-punched in North Carolina had been "taunting," "loud" and "disruptive," and was holding up his middle finger — "a terrible thing to do."
And even his fellow Republicans see whats going on or are they just being liberals and being politically correct
America is better than this. We don't have to tear each other apart," Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said. "When you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discourse."
Kasich said during a stop in Cincinnati that there's "no place for a national leader to prey on the fears of people."
This is going down a road the United States has never traveled but it has the potential change this country overnight .. for the good or the bad we'll have to wait and see

I partially agree but it didn't start with Trump as this has been escalating over the past 8 years and President Obama has been fanning the flames .
Read Kasicj's quote again .
When violent agitators are deliberately sent in a violent response is predictable if not expected , even hoped for . I believe you are one of this hoping .

I love statements that seem to imply all our issues are less than 8 years old.

Spence, we weren't this divided when Bush was President, not even close. The seeds were planted during his term, specifically, when the public opinion turned against the Iraq War, at which time all the Dems that voted for it, were suddenly saying that it was evil and immoral (that's having the courage of your convictions).
We have never been as divided as we are now. If Trump gets elected, it could definitely get worse, as he's more polarizing, and in a more combustable way, than Obama.
Obama's divisiveness is a huge reason for Trumps popularity. For 8 years, Obama has been saying that people like me are racist, uncaring hatemongers. Despite what he says, and therefore despite what you certainly believe, it's not remotely true. We're tired of it, and it's very easy for me to understand why the masses are rallying around the one guy they think will punch back. For some reason, it's noble and admiranble when Obama hits below the belt (we're all bitter clingers, all we do is "hate all the time"), but when trump does it, he gets called out for it. Trump is more vulgar about it.
Sharpton is at least as bad as Trump (worse, if your measure is body count), and Obama invites him to the Oval Office 90 times? Care to explain that?

Sure, it's not true.

Just to be clear, which part isn't true? That Sharpton is loathsome? Or that he has been invited to the White House many times?

It's crazy right? You yell fire and everyone runs out of the theater. Who would have thought?

Kind of like repeating over and over that "white cops are the problem", you can't then be surprised when white cops subsequently get assassinated.
I don't know who yelled "fire", but I do know who is endlessly blaming cops (Sharpton), and I know that Sharpton still spends more time in the Oval Office than the tour guides. And why shouldn't we all be appalled by that?
