I’m laughing at reading everybody’s responses and okay I get the irony. But I still think he would’ve said it because the larger point remains. Transformations created at the ballot box are more profound for a society in the long run than is the assassination of any one person.

We need Leadership of Lincoln's caliber now more than ever.

But not millions of bullets. It took a lot of Confederates getting put into an early grave before slavery was finally abolished ( sort of).
