A candidate running for President of the United States who calls his opponent a criminal (when she's not even been charged with a crime) and makes one of his campaign promises to "lock her up" is not engaging in typical "campaign shit talk". It's a Donald Trump specific thing.
Threatening to jail one's political opponent is terribly irresponsible, goes against the democratic process and separation of powers, and is more like something dictators and authoritarians do.
I understand that you don't consider it a serious deal, Tiki, and I don't take Trump too seriously myself. But, that doesn't make it 'typical' nor does it make it something comparable to Clinton's shit-talking of Trump. So, I'm cool to just agree to disagree at this point.
