I never said that. I was merely making an objective statement about assassination, because I later on specified that I'm voting based on foreign policy. Personally I don't think people should not vote for someone they like because they fear he or she might get assassinated either. Judging from the numerous guards a specific candidate has throughout this campaign, I would say that person knew about the risks involved and I also that if the candidate's determined enough, then it shouldn't be our problem. I was just throwing the thought out there as a possibility.
