This oddly familiar scene is intimidation, pure and simple, and possibly a prelude to other acts of intimidation at polling sites. Incidents of voter intimidation have already occurred, but the Main Event is on Tuesday, and Trump called for armed 'poll watchers'. Trump isn't going to disavow these dogs of war, but unlike the Lord Humungus, Trump is not a reasonable man.
