270 electoral votes are needed to win the U.S. presidency. Each state has electoral votes equal to the total of the 2 representative the state has in the U.S. Senate plus the number of representative the state has in the House of Representatives. Since every state has two senators and at least one representative to the House, every state has at least 3 electoral votes. The District of Columbia gets 3 electoral votes. Therefore, the total number of electoral votes is 538 - 100 (senators) + 435 (representatives) + 3 (for DC). A majority is 270 - one more than half of the total number of 538.

Some people took this as a veiled threat against Hillary Clinton's life, but he says it was out of context.

He was playing off of the fact that Hillary Clinton has anti-gun views. He was saying if all the supporters of the second amendment united together to vote against her, that it would be enough to keep her out of office, but it could be open to interpretation.

The original quote was, "Hillary wants to abolish -- essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."

Hillary Clinton went to Twitter to reply, "A person seeking to be the President of the United States should not suggest violence in any way."

Trump later stated a clarification, "It's called the power of unification -- 2nd Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power. And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won't be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump."

Although many felt that was a clarification, others still feel that was not his intent. There were Twitter responses such as "Don't treat this as a political misstep. It's an assassination threat, seriously upping the possibility of a national tragedy & crisis."

Despite all odds, Senator Bernie Sanders has been able to remain in the Democratic primary elections by receiving millions of small donations via his Internet website. Twenty years ago, as example, it would have been highly unlikely that Senator Sanders could have reached out to a national support base created by social media and the Net. The communications improvements that has provided a simple means for the ordinary citizen to visit his website and contribute a small amount of money, say $10, has enabled literally millions of people to help Sanders keep his campaign going, even though "machine" politics have discounted his efforts.
