These Trump rallies and all the fighting is just a taste if he becomes President.

[eCat]

good

these protesters want their 15 minutes and they don't even know why they are there

you have to ask yourself why Trump would want to hold a rally in Chicago

and then you realize these people were played. The night before he asks the republican party to unify behind him a riot of liberals, BLM, Latinos and Muslims riot against him

I heard Cruz people last night , who had been dogging Trump from day one, switch over last night because of those protesters.

Trump just turned the heartland into political activists.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Trump set it up though.

I don't think there is any doubt it was organized

by who I have no idea

[eCat]

Ta.....rump!



actually I couldn't get in. They were turning people away 3 hours before it started because of capacity

A reporter who is sympathetic to the protestors and in on the plan gives a chronicle of what happened.

People, mostly rednecks who hate Obama, like to say he's the most divisive president we've ever had and that's true, to a degree, but mostly because of the people who hate him because he's black and (in their eyes) a liberal, which he's not.

But if Trump is elected, we're going back to the late '60s in terms of political turmoil and violence on the streets.

aww horseshit..you lived in California too long

Obama played a huge role in this divisiveness

[Saint]

How so? People decided they didn't like him before he took office. He tried to improve healthcare but people were against because they're so brainwashed that they turned against it in favor of a system rigged completely against them. And most of them were the assholes who worked during the time of employer coverage and are now on SS.

I'm not a huge Obama fan because I think he didn't accomplish nearly as much as he should have, at least that which was in his capacity to accomplish. Plus, he's too conservative.

You're coming at it from the other side though - you want a government health care system that takes care of you, particularly if its subsidized - you're mad at Obama for not doing enough to create big government to address the needs of the people.

so you see Trump as divisive because he's stirring up all the liberals - but look at what Trump is doing - in Pennsylvania they had something like 42,000 democrats switch over to Republican, that's happening in every state with few exceptions - after Super Tuesday Trump had 800K more votes than Romney did, voter turnout for republican primaries has broken records

Trump isn't as divisive among his base, and unfortunately right now, the media is having a field day with some asshat that shows up with a nazi flag to a Trump rally and labels all voters racists.

Trump isn't racist, he's nationalist, and if you're American he's going to try to make America better for everyone that's here

Now he may fail spectacularly at it, but at least he's talking to the people that want him elected for these issues - and it isn't just a handful of lunatics on the fringe who see his policy as some start to white supremacy. People aren't really voting for Trump - as a messenger he's pretty flawed - they are voting for the message, and that is stop flooding this country with illegals, don't let us go thru what Europe is experiencing right now (just look at what is happening in Germany if you don't think people are having second thoughts about Muslims) and stop pushing free trade that exports jobs while giving tax breaks and loopholes to corporations.

The people have been demanding that of policitians for decades and they continually refuse - even Cruz - mr. Outsider/anti establishment voice of the people is disconnected to it and didn't understand it until he started getting his ass handed to him by Trump - and that's why people are willing to ignore everything crazy about Trump and vote for him.

that and Hillary is a damn psychopath

its a shame that African Americans see Trump as racist because his policy of drastically cutting back immigration is going to be in their best interest - especially black youth who only have crap ass jobs as their only option to work, and I don't really give a fuck if Latino's or Muslims are upset. Trump has done nothing to promote any other type of policy that is racist and he's never been associated with racism before. The media has created this narrative and Moveon.Org is all to happy to exploit it.

I'm sure Trump is popular with rednecks and blue collar, but if it were just that group he's pulling in, he wouldn't be owning the GOP right now.

[sardis]

Maybe my memory is faded, but, for all those supposed racist, hood-wearing rednecks out there, I don't seem to remember any aggressive protests at Obama rallies back in 2008 or 2012. You would think that with all the massive black hatred out there that Obama would have all his public speeches drowned out by all the rampant bigotry in this country.

[eCat]

good point

They're not promoting non-violence, they're demanding it
-----------------------------

Moveon.Org is conducting fundraising activities from the Chicago protests against Donald Trump that prompted the Republican presidential front-runner to cancel a rally there Friday, and promises that more disruptions are on the way.

“Last night, without consulting local police, Donald Trump abruptly cancelled a rally in Chicago in the face of massive and overwhelmingly peaceful student-led protests,” MoveOn.org wrote in an email Saturday to members. “We’re being flooded with aggressive emails and social media posts from Trump supporters. Some of them are threatening. We refuse to be intimidated by Donald Trump, Fox News, or anyone else.”

The email asked members to donate $3 to help the effort. The progressive group is funded by billionaire George Soros, and has endorsed Democratic candidate Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders for president.

“We need to double down on our work, showing that America is better than Trump’s bullying, hate-baiting, and incitements to violence,” the email read. “We are committed to nonviolence, but we will not be silent. We will not be invisible.”

The group detailed its efforts in recent months, highlighting ads it has run against the real estate mogul and the advocacy its done on behalf of refugees, who it said are “under attack” from the GOP, and the support it gave to Trump protesters in Chicago.

I've never voted in a Primary before. How does it work? Do I just ask for a certain ballot?

[AlabamAlum]

Pretty much.

[Jungle Rat]

Cool. Thanks.
