They've waited 20 years so far, they can wait him out a bit more.

The problem in doing this is the optics of it. This man formed an armed mob of Right Wing militiamen and pointed guns at Federal agents and police. Not only did they back down, they left him to do as he pleased. This will only encourage more to do the same. Pair this with the disturbing killings of unarmed black men by police for what amounts to nothing, and you have a clear racist issue.

Oh, yeah. Also Uber is too highly regulated and there needs to be a new open source way to hook people up with rides because people can take care of themselves if we let them get concealed carry permits.

I should note it was a televised event.

Boston Globe has a quote from Graham on this; the Senator is indifferent to whether or not Trump drops out of the presidential race as long as he stops "being a (expletive)"

Edit: sorry quote that would be CBS, it was taped before this latest stunt, and the final word was "jackass", a word he used 3 times to describe Trump in that interview

Making a martyr out of him will encourage more crazies, not less. The approach being taken is the right one, wait for all the furor to die down and then quietly squash him like a bug.

Shooting him would of course make a Martyr of him. But you can turn off the power, freeze his accounts and otherwise force him to come peacefully.

And as the man has left his home, you can definitely arrest the man when he's not surrounded by armed morons.

This is exactly the reason. Bundy is an icon to these people, and they are definitely worried about 'inspiring' reprisals or a Waco-esque situation if they take him in.

Using a tank and an assault wasn't the kind of "Force" I was referring to. They can just sit outside rifle range and arrest anyone coming or going. Wait however long it takes for them to run out of canned goods.

Locking him up right now will also make a martyr of him. You want the loonies to catch a new shiny so that once they squash him they're all too busy with something else to be outraged and have forgotten about him. There is nothing to be gained by giving him a wider platform right now.

The Washington Post said there was a statistically significant decline in his polling after it happened, in their poll that had responses both before and after it. I think the biggest damage its done is it gives everyone else in the Republican party a good excuse to go after him without losing their 'i hate immigrants too!' cred.
