    I just took a look at the list and it looks like a pretty tall order to me. I think the targets are so high profile that there’s a chance that if he goes after even one, it’ll drag out for a long time.

    We’re talking about people who currently control pro Republican news networks and stuff like that in some cases. How’s he going to get anything like that done with a wing of Republican propaganda suddenly turning against him?

    These networks are a large part of why Republicans escape accountability. Like it or not they have to work within that framework - especially if they decide they don’t want to work within a legal framework. Consent of the governed isn’t negotiable, and while they’ve proven they can get that through propaganda, they haven’t proven they can do without it.

    I’m not saying you’re wrong though. I’m just saying if he tries to follow through it’ll be far more of an undertaking than he imagines, and several of those targets could actually sabotage Trump if they thought it were necessary for self preservation.

    Far more likely that targets get taken out in accidents, and not anyone on any well known lists.
