Reaction to Trump's speech: When is 'a bloodbath' not a bloodbath?

""But Cassidy did acknowledge that the way Trump speaks does leave him open to frequent criticism."

"Rep. Mike Turner said Sunday it was clear that former President Donald Trump's reference to "a bloodbath" should he lose the November election pertained to the auto industry, not to a surge of political violence."

""The general tone of the speech is why many Americans continue to wonder, 'Should President Trump be president?'"
