Its more important that republicans ignore or pretend to be unaware of the things trump says and tweets... if I was a reporter I would ask that question at every opportunity... I'd even email the republican's office to get it in writing.
I think is what is happening, his margin for 2016 was people who were sitting on the fence and took a chance those people are not fence sitting anymore and he is not gaining support.
Dang so that guy had a piece of equipment the size of cellphone that could block out police communications?
His followers don't want LOSERS or APOLOGISTS. They want points and wins. SCOREBOARD LADIES PLAY HARDER!!
I saw this and thought "this might actually be the most disturbing and evil thing he's ever said." But then I realized that every week or two I have that similar thought. Seriously y'all this is such a crazy time. I don't have an argument in favor of feudalism or the like, but Trump&Co is a pretty good argument against democracy. Or, if not against democracy itself, against the USA.
In the bizzaro alternate reality where this statement is true, it still shouldn't even be a factor. Simply move to the next of the countless instances of needless police brutality. Here's one: It also doesn't make the manufactured Antifa storyline any more scary.
As much as I don't think the guy should have been there, I don't think anything was staged. I wish someone would push Trump in a similar way.
