America is now the kind of country where presidential candidates threaten to jail their political opponents during nationally televised debates. Or, at least, we're the kind of country where one presidential candidate does so.
"If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. Because there has never been so many lies," Donald Trump informed Hillary Clinton on Sunday night. "People have been, their lives have been destroyed for doing one-fifth of what you've done."
(The FBI has already completed a lengthy investigation of Clinton's emails, and found no offense worthy of prosecution).
"It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country," Clinton said in her response.

"Because you'd be in jail," Trump replied.
And the crowd went wild.
