The top comment on this thread should be an unqualified “Hell yeah!” not speculation over whether she is going to be murdered.

What should be and what are, are frequently two different things. In this case, political candidates shouldn't be commonly murdered, but that's a reality for them and one they should be planning for.

And it's not a knee jerk reaction, it's just a legitimate worry posted by someone who pays attention to the news. I'm sad to say that I both had the 'hell yeah' reaction right before thinking 'I hope her security can keep her safe' thoughts back to back.
