The live interviews on Fox News are amazing.

They asked two or three protesters in a row why they wanted to shut it down tonight and they all gave the exact same line about how they didn't really want to give or tell their reasons. That was so weird.
 
Hopefully the media will go through a few of Trump's recent rallies and compile a collection of clips of him saying things like:

"In the old days, you know how we'd handle those people. We can't do that now."
"Boy I wish I could... you know, I can't even say it. You know."
"We've got some tough guys here tonight. Yeah, you over there. You guys were sad when the protesters were removed. You did such a great job with those protestors."
"Give it up for the police, folks. You know, the police have been victimized by these people. And these people are going to go home and sue the police even though the police were victims."

I watched 15 minutes of a recent protest Trump rally, and it's filled with stuff like that. There's no surprise the situation has escalated.

No offense but I'm tired of statements like this; his speeches are rambling nonsense; but I've literally seen him called a "great orator"... Or "you have to admit he's a genius", no the fuck I don't
He talks off of the top of his head for two hours and people hang on every word

Sure, he's not saying anything - but you can't say he isn't captivating them.

Look man, they're all idiots. And frankly they are all racist. Obama is racist, blacks are racist, white, Mexican. You're all fucking racist. Every single one of you and them. I'm so fucking tired of all this pretend bullshit where people pretend blacks don't make jokes about white people and Mexicans don't joke about blacks and yadda yadda. I don't give a hoot anymore... You're all hypocrites and these politicians are all assholes who put on a show and be politically correct when in their private rooms theyre all just as racist and bigots as the last moron

He's a lying moron; he's successful because this country has a large swath of lying morons whose egos are propped up by intellectually dishonest drivel like what Trump spews. I really don't buy this idea that he's some smart strategist; he's just an asshole spewing turds at the right place / right time.

yes.

CNN had a montage of that stuff before this.

Trump says that he doesn't like violence, but wants the protestors to be taken out on stretchers.

"I don't incite violence and I don't condone violence"

But...stretchers.

And a shiny object captivates a toddler. That doesn't mean the object knows exactly what it's doing; it's just shiny.

A very powerful display by the citizens of Chicago tonight. Could end being a very pivotal moment in writing our country's history. I can only hope every single Trump rally is met with brave citizens outnumbering the people spreading and promoting their hate.
 
Trump is a fascist. Until America treats him like one and not some hysterical slow car crash then he only gets more and more dangerous.

He will be loving this.

This is manipulation.

Why do you think he's been talking violent rhetoric for weeks?

Stop treating him like a joke and open your eyes.

This is how fascists get elected... Talk with extreme rhetoric, divide the electorate then pivot your tone to seem like a reasonable person.

Tbh I think it's wrong when protesters try to ruin a rally. We either live in a democrazy or we don't. If we do, free speech, even if uncomfortable, is allowed.

Of course, that would be different if the government said Trump has gone too far and his movement is illegal. Then it should be shut down. But unless that happens, let him speak. Everybody here would complain if Trump supporters sabotaged a Clinton rally.


You do understand that is exactly the opposite of how the legal principle of free speech works, right?

Fox showed a guy in a sombrero/poncho with a "No Mexicans = No Tacos" sign but I don't know his stance on tacos so I'm not sure if he's pro or anti-Trump.

Look, I know all about stretchers. I have great stretchers. Soft stretchers. Stretchers like you wouldn't believe. Don't go telling me that being carried out on a stretcher is a bad thing. It's a great thing. Especially Trump Stretchers. See, the point is that stretchers are a very non-violent peaceful thing.

I'm not talking about the quality of his speeches, those are utter nonsense.

I'm talking about the message he's sending, the rhetoric that he's pushing.

He's driving a wedge between people and that's intentional.

There's a reason why he didn't disavow what Dukes said, why it's only his rallies where people get sucker punched.

Wouldn't it be great if a Don Lemon interview took down Trump? lol

I know it won't but I can dream, can't I?

Trump is such a two faced bastard, flip flopping on his on words, he could make Two Face look like a sane individual.

Trump: *flips coin, checking to see which side it landed on* I don't incite violence, I'll meet with the protesters.

Trump: *flips coin again, checking again* And they'll leave that meeting on a stretcher!

Trump has the right to speak at a rally. Protesters have the right to protest. It's how free speech works.

If protesters effectively shut down Trump's free speech by drowning it with their free speech, that's not free speech at all. That's just sabotage. If protesters want to speak their mind, they should do so when Trump is finished. Again, imagine Trump supporters storming a Clinton rally and drowing her speech with their loud protests. Would that be okay to you? I think it'd be idiotic.

What are you even talking about here, how could the government even do that with free speech laws?

I don't know about the USA, but in Germany, when a political party crosses a certain line, the court will declare that party illegal and ban it. The NPD is pretty much under permanent watch because of their radical rightwing views. The same is true for the newer AfD who's members proposed shooting refugees, if they illegally cross the border. There got to be a similar option in the USA, no?
