    The PA one, but sees no problem with 12 hours in bushes and that he had a long barreled gun in there. Seriously?

    The only issue I have with being able to hide in the bushes for 12 hours is Routh himself. It's easily doable. Seems to me it is not in his displayed character to maintain that kind of self-discipline.

    I'm also not sure what some are saying. Is that some believe the whole damned golf course should be shut down and swept inch by inch prior to Trump stepping out of the car? What of the other players/members? Seems easier and more secure to revoke Trump's membership than lose all that money/customers.

    I may be wrong or reading the wrong outlets, but I think the complaints are that there wasn't agents checking around the perimeter outside of fencing looking for suspicious things like a car parked within a quick sprint away. Why did it take one sharp eyed guy to see a gun barrel, when a dog walking the fence line-a KNOWN problem area that the media has exploited in the past?

    That's a lot of people, time, money and effort for a game of golf.

    Fact is, if anyone truly wanted to kill Trump, or anyone else for that matter, it's not that hard. The shooter has the obvious advantage of time, place and method. Security gets to react. As long as he's walking around in public, he's a potential target every second.

    That's always been true, which is why Secret Service was instituted. It's their job. Money already allocated and they have the dogs.
