Yeah, I was trying to make the argument with some Bernie disciples that while Trump has some poor rhetoric, Bernie's worshipers are actually out there committing crimes (or trying to)

To put a fine point on it: Economist sees a Trump election as an equivalent global risk to terrorism destabilizing the world economy.

It's important to remember, though, the lens through which the magazine is looking at this. Trump's a risk not because of the violence that has swirled around his rallies or because of his rapidly evolving policy positions — at least not primarily. He's a risk because he hates free trade.
“Here I’m gonna be kinda wearing two hats — in charge of the security there in the town and also participating, I would imagine, with Trump in the rally, so it makes it interesting,” Arpaio said in an interview with POLITICO, adding that it “is going to be a lot of fun taking care of business there.”

Arpaio has long been a controversial figure both in Arizona and nationally. The sheriff and his deputies were found to have violated the constitutional rights of Latinos in 2013, and in 2015 the federal ruling was mostly upheld. And he’s been sued multiple times. Since he took office in 1993, he’s cost taxpayers $142 million in legal expenses, settlements and court awards, according to The Arizona Republic.
Yet, the man who calls himself “America’s toughest sheriff” has been reelected six times, and he’s going for number seven.
Trump has for weeks said he would release the names of foreign policy advisers but has until now repeatedly missed his own deadlines.
Asked last week in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" about his advisers, Trump first pointed to himself: "I'm speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain."
