      1. On a more serious note, has anyone noticed how pervasive rhetoric about punishing Hillary Clinton now is:https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/754501946405453824 …

      2. Trump has called on Clinton to be jailed. As have other Republicans: http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/02/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-imprisoned/ …

      3. So what's become a standard GOP position is that Hillary Clinton not only needs to be defeated politically, she needs to be punished.

      4. Where does this punitive urge come from? Partially it's a standard conservative belief in retribution, but amped up & politicized.

      5. There's an argument (Joe Klein once made it) that Watergate started a cycle of both parties criminalizing political differences.

      7. But I resist "both sides do it" because GOP rhetoric seems asymmetrically extreme.

      8. But it's not just GOP extremism. Note difference of treatment of Obama & Clinton. Obama is portrayed as alien, Clinton as criminal.

      9. It's hard to avoid conclusion that there is a gender dimension here. Clinton is a bad woman, someone who has violated natural order.

      10. Trump's comments about how women should be punished for abortion was a classic gaffe: not a lie but a revelation of hidden feeling.
