In a discussion of his poll numbers, GOP front-runner Donald Trump used a colorful hyperbole for the loyalty of his voters, saying that he could “shoot someone” and wouldn’t lose any support.

“And you know what else they say about my people—the polls—they say I have the most loyal people, did you ever see that,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Iowa, drawing laughter from the crowd. “Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s, like, incredible.”
