[What if ISIS tries to capture or kill presidential
candidates or attack campaign events? Some thoughts on a very real threat. By
Joel Rosenberg] "With fewer than thirty days remaining until the Iowa caucuses —
and the cancer of the Islamic State and other jihadists metastasizing across the

could scare people away from attending campaign events as the caucuses and
primaries are getting closer.
Most of the presidential candidates — both Democrats

primarily with protecting the candidates and their families and staffs, or with
preventing a terror attack.
Only a handful of the candidates currently have Secret
Service protection. Hillary Clinton does as a former First Lady. Donald Trump
does as a frontrunner who is drawing specific credible threats. Dr. Ben Carson
also has federal protection due to credible threats made against him. (I’m not
sure about former Gov. Jeb Bush)..." Full text:
