Another disgusting story in this election cycle...

In Plano TX (Collin County, just north of Dallas — notably a red county) a Trump/Pence sign was rigged with box cutter blades and then attached to a polling place sign.

When a volunteer attempted to remove the Trump sign, they did not see the blades and cut their hand.

Local news in the Dallas area has the story with video.

The blades ran all along the bottom of the campaign sign.

Some highlights from the story:

The hostility between Trump and Clinton supporters has been escalating as election day nears. But Tuesday someone attached razor blades to a Trump-Pence sign, then used it to cover the official polling site sign at a polling location in Plano.

The Collin County Democratic chair was interviewed about this. He mentioned the “d” word:

“It’s terrible we’ve become so polarized in our politics,” says Steve Spainhouer, the democratic chair in Collin County Precinct 122. “I think it’s deplorable it just shows how far we’ve come in politics where people want to be so mean, so hateful to try and injure somebody who’s probably got no political party persuasion one way or another and is just working at a poll.” He says it’s the worst campaign related crime he’s seen in his 16 years.

Thankfully the cuts were minor and the volunteer treated the injury by himself.

MSNBC has been floating the idea that Barack Obama may assume Hillary's campaign debt when he becomes the (presumptive) nominee.

As an Obama donor and supporter, when I initially heard this, I was quite shocked.

After some (admittedly brief) reflection, I don't think it's such a bad idea.

Obama possibly assumes Hillary's debt?
