Although it may be justifiable from a moral perspective, a Trump assassination would likely lead to the Republican problem becoming even worse as we’ve seen a slight bump in the polls after the attempted assassination, and the other Republicans candidates as just as if not even more of a threat than him.

    Do you think his assassination would be morally in addition to strategically wrong?

      Yes!

      Morally, I don’t believe in killing humans at all, especially summarily and without due process.
      Self defense being an obvious exception.

      Which would make a strategic purpose moot. However, strategically it’s dumb: half the voting public would likely revolt, violently, and a sizeable portion of the other half would react negatively at the polls.

        I want to agree but I think armed resistance is often necessary as well
