    Drumpf and his supporters are protected by the first amendment and can express political and other speech as they wish, and not be persecuted by the government.

    ALSO, protesters are protected by the first amendment and can express political speech and not be persecuted by the government.

    ALSO, people think that Drumpf and his supporters are dangerous idiots are protected in their speech as well.

    If you are exercising your first amendment rights by speaking, and someone else is doing the same, and the government does not intervene, then guess what: nobody's constitutional rights have been infringed.

    If a political rally of your candidate is interrupted by protesters, your first amendment rights have not been infringed. The first amendment does not protect you from criticism, or somehow declare a right-of-way for who gets to speak uninterrupted.

    Since most political rallies are private affairs, protesters can ALSO be escorted out of the venue by security. This is not government persecution.

    VIOLENCE is what changes everything, legally. If you are a protester and you resort to violence, then you are breaking the law. If you assault a protester, you are breaking the law. The first amendment does not give you the right to physically assault someone who protests your candidate.

    Why is it that conservatives whine nonstop about a constitution they supposedly love, yet understand it so poorly? This is a nation of laws. Read up.

    This election seems to be energized my kids too. My 8 year old wants to move to Canada if Trump wins. I obviously don't say nice things about Trump when I'm at home, but I'm not exactly indoctrinating them either. The other kids at school are talking about Trump. I suppose the school skews a little liberal, so the girl whose parents support Trump seems to be getting a lot of flak. Hopefully not from my kids. It's a little weird though that the political discourse is reaching so far that even 8 year olds have an opinion (low-information though it may be). My oldest one was also 8 back when Obama was re-elected and she was not so engaged. I don't remember having a political stance myself on anything until the Persian Gulf War when I was 15.

    You can refer to the King Beyond the Wall for our immigration policies.

    So Trump is going to America great again?

    He can't even make his rallies great in the first place.

    Will Trump's America be a place with a huge concentration of White supremacists shouting his praises, folks sucker punching those that disagree with Trump? Will it be a land where Trump is encouraging that behavior, while making fun of disabled reporters, and talking about how great he is, and how everyone loves him?

    Is that how he's going to America great again? Because that's what he's accomplished as the leader of his own campaign.

    You don't have to worry about Trump. He is unelectable but blaming him for race issues is ridiculous when Obama has been the most race divisive President in history due to multiple situations like taking the wrong side in situations like Ferguson and appointing the worst most racist AG in history in Eric Holder.

    Trump isn't to blame for race issues except that his message attracts supremacists. Obama has talked less about race than almost any President in modern times.

    You are wrong talking about the Bush administration.

    1. Obama on race, or rather not on race.
    2. This from a post on this very site http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=160817&highlight=Kind+Politics

    3. Ferguson had a record of systemic discrimination. Coming out against that and exposing that was a great way to get rid of some racists. The fact that one particular incident wasn't necessarily racist doesn't change the fact that Ferguson and those with the power there carried out racist agendas and policies.

    Are you serious?? Yes, he may not talk about it in passing but he certainly enjoys jumping in on most racial issues and coming off like a fool.

    Next you're going to tell me how you're not obsessed about racial issues, despite you rarely chime in on anything non racial related.

    Too late either way. The more he shows that he won't change or acknowledge even partial responsibility, the more fervent his support will grow. Just look at his growing ranks of defenders here. Seriously.

    I guess we see it differently.

    I will tell you that I chime in on plenty of things. It isn't all race related. I haven't really kept track, so I don't know what the percentages are.

    Most "race divisive President in history" huh?

    Ever hear of Lincoln or Johnson? That whole Civil War event....

    You know, just forget it... Obama invented AIDS too... No GOD (the Christian one) invinted AIDS to punish folks for voting for Obama.

    It's not really too late. Since he's going to lose Ohio, he'll still need like 55% of the remaining delegates after tomorrow is over. If it's down the 3 people, Kasich probably wins the liberal leaning states and Cruz wins the conservative leaning states.

    Another millenial endorsement for Trump.
