Donald Trump's grip on the Right seems to soften as his calls for massive protests following indictments go unanswered, and a new Iowa poll shows Republican caucus-goers open to a new leader.

Any domestic extremists threatening juror's or lawmakers should face the full consequences of the Law.

[SPerryfevr]

The Governors in each state need to remove him from the ballot!

[kindredg]

It's a relief to see death threats being taken seriously. These Threats should be an imprisonable offense.

[Donald-nqzb]

I learned in junior high school that you have to stand up against bullies.

[emilyfeagin]

He has his delusional base. Most of them won’t leave the couch to bathe, let alone go protest anywhere. Never underestimate the power of inertia

[einherjar]

Detention until trial for Trump, now, and for anyone that is caught making threats or acting out.

What is 14th Amendment Section 3?
But one provision in the constitution, section 3 of the 14th amendment, makes things more complicated. It says that no person who has taken an oath “as an officer of the United States” can hold office if they “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof”. Tell 45 to get lost already

There should be an investigation asap on who the person or individuals are that leaked out the grandjury addresses. I agree with others that whomever is responsible should automatically get a 30-year sentence. This is very harmful to each and every jurior and to our country. If anybody has any information about this topic, report it to Fani Willis. I'm quite sure your name will be kept under wraps. We can't let them get away with this.

[emilysteens]

These opinion polls should ask Republicans that if Biden did the things Trump has done if they'd be ok with that.

[patriciaholloway]

Just unreal that any person would possibly murder for this man they don't know and go to prison for it. It's a cult, plain and simple.

[GoodJuju.D]

A true American would tell his followers that they need to stop the threats against others.

[Ps-feff]

I dont understand people... what has our country come to and what can we do to fix this problem ❤❤❤❤!! Im so scared for my grandkids and great grandkids and everyone else children 😢

[Robutube]

From the U.K. The silence of Republican politicians, in condemning these threats against all their fellow citizens involved with the indictment of Trump and his acolytes, is deafening. So much for the law and order party.

[jeffbutterfield]

Continue to hold them accountable as terrorists

[zrebbesh]

Make Accountability Great Again. Have EVERY Republican candidate on the stage lead off by declaring that 14th Amendment Art 3 says Trump is unqualified.

[Lomojo]

I'm sad. We have fallen so low as a society we cheer at people's failings, we ignore our own, we point and mock and then are appalled to see same in others. Gone are the days of working together for a common good..its all and them and us...wonder why drug use and depression so high....because we are jerks to each other

[crash]

The fact that Trump and minime Trump are the top 2 tells us a lot about this crazy party…VOTE BLUE FOLKS! 💙

[ragingmonk]

I worked law enforcement for years. This trash has always been among us. Every once and a while one would crawl out from under its rock. Trump gave them license to have a block party.

Yes, there will be incidents and law enforcement will put some of them down like a rabid dog. I am okay with that, eventually they will learn that their 30 seconds in the spotlight is over. Time to crawl back under the rock.

[progressivehumanist]

As a lifelong Republican I can no longer in good conscience vote GOP at this point.

[MrJawstherevenge]

He doesn't have the hold on this country he thinks he does. The midterms were a clear indication of that
