    Political rallies are not private. You are drinking some sort of conservative kool aid if you think otherwise.

    The PC is annoying as hell. But to be honest, I don't even think I fully know what it is. Heck, I though it was just satire. But when it's not, that stuff just turn my attention away.

    Trump didn't arrest those media members. If fact that quote you posted has no comment or action attributed to Trump. What was your point?

    This is wrong, Trump didn't create ****. The economy, immigration policies, the failings of congress, Obama's policies, Tea Party, TPP, NSA, partisanship, etc... Right or wrong, all of those things and more are what created the anger and hate. Hateful Trumps supporters (which is a small %) already had that hate. He didn't create anything. In fact he disavowed hate. But his supporters who do have that hate don't care that he did, it's not going to change them. You could argue that Cruz created hate with his policies and behavior.

    The Trump haters are taking it to a new level. Now trying to blame Trump for other people's actions. What's next, blame him for natural disasters?

    Apparently you have been drinking the socialist koolaid if the idea of private property rights has somehow escaped you.

    Donald Trump is paying money to rent these venues. To enter, people must obtain tickets. By presenting a ticket, the presenter effectively agrees to the terms and conditions associated with the agreement under which they are accepted into the venue. This is pretty standard at any ticketed gathering.

    This was a private gathering. These criminals who have disrupted these events could have reasonably been considered 'protesters' if they had done their 'protesting' outside and in a non-violent way. Nobody tried to interfere with the actual protests that were outside.

    If these criminals had not been violating the terms and conditions of their tickets, which are effectively contracts which prohibit the kind of disruptive conduct they were exhibiting, and also disturbing the peace, there would have been no basis for any sort of conflict between Trump supporters and these thugs and bullies of the Democrat left.

    But I think you already know all of this.

    Trump created an environment where their hate was welcomed. No, he didn't create the hate. He welcomed it. Hitler didn't create the animosity towards the Jewish population, he embraced it.

    Trump is a beacon to the jingoist/populist who wants to kick everyone out that doesn't look like him or her.

    The ship sailed on defending the man, ipaman. There is nothing to defend. You are in an extreme level of denial to believe that Trump's rhetoric did not fan the flames of hate. I mean the ****er wants to ban an entire religious group from entering this country. You don't think jingoist racists won't flock to him when he says **** like that? Be honest ipaman. They LOVE that type of rhetoric. Can't believe you could be that naive ipaman.

    For those under the illusion that no black people support Donald Trump, here is a black pastor introducing Trump with a powerful speech at a rally in Cleveland on Saturday:

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cCHZbB-M9oE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Now let's see if some racist lefty comes along and tries to denigrate this pastor as a "cornball brother" or some other racist epithet.

    I don't think anyone stated that zero black people support Trump. No one denies that Uncle Toms exist.

    I pretty much agree with this.

    Political rallies are considered to be private events. When tickets are issued, they are treated as licenses which can be revoked. Think of this as a rock concert. If you are being disruptive in a rock concert, you can bet you ass that you will be asked to leave.

    I'll admit that the Chicago protest did not help their cause at all.

    OK, now you're being purposefully ignorant. I suppose you have not kept up with Trump's numerous rants against the media? Trump condones this ****.

    You know, I'm through discussing anything with Trump supporters. This guy is one of the worst, if not the worst, potential party nominee in the past 100+ years, for numerous reasons. And yet, nothing matters. He is the ONLY candidate who advocates violence. He is the ONLY candidate who welcomes open discrimination against an entire religion. He is the ONLY candidate who keeps having people chant BUILD A WALL as if he's Bob Geldof reincarnated. He has belittled women, insulted the disabled, and need I remind you, he insulted every single veteran who's ever been captured by stating, "I like those that don't get caught." Paraphrasing, of course.

    My question to any Trump supporter, based not only on the above, but among the many other things he's said and done, is this:

    WHAT IN THE EVER-LOVING **** IS WRONG WITH YOU????

    Bro, they love the 4th grade language he speaks in. He is the only candidate they understand.

    I absolutely agree. If you are being disruptive, then you should be asked to leave.

    But I'm glad that you all conveniently forget that Trump encourages violence against these protestors. No one's arguing about them being removed- we do have a bit of a problem with reporters being attacked and people being assaulted. I don't know, maybe it's just a personal thing.

    Hilarious how Trump supporters imply that, well, if those protestors are being disruptive, then they deserve to be assaulted. Does that go for reporters, also? You notice your boy doesn't say one word about them, either.

    ****ing hilarious. People in this country want to change it to the ******* of the United States of America- instead of POTUS, we have AOTUS.

    It's not just one thing- there are so many things that's it's not even funny. My uncle was in the Vietnam War, and I had to hear the horror stories- including from someone he knew that was a POW. As soon as Trump made that statement, I was done with him as serious consideration for President. And since then, it's been a mountain of actions and statements that literally disqualify him from any serious consideration.

    But yet, his supporters get amusement at seeing how many asinine things he can do and still be the frontrunner. It's like they secretly get off on how much he can get away with- well, supporters, it's not a ****ing game anymore- get serious and support a serious candidate, not Donaldo Mussolini.

    I already stated that Trump should not become POTUS, not because of his domestic and international agenda. In that regard, he should be able to place competent people to help him govern the nation. It is Trump's hateful views that will be his undoing. It took a long time for America to marginalize the KKK. A Trump presidency would encourage those bastards to come out of the closet in very large numbers, rolling back the clock to a very dark period in this nation. Who wants to see that???

    Interesting to see Cruz supporters in here supporting trump & his king like attitude about opposition even while Cruz rightly denounces it.

    Telling, you might say.
