People are going to die in Cleveland. Maybe a good many people.

 

[User 406]

Welp. This is one of those "I cannot believe that actually happened on live TV" events I'll remember for the rest of my life.

I remember the L.A. Riots, this isn't there yet. Yet. If Trump keeps banging the white supremacy drum, it will be.

 

[User1608]

I seriously hope nobody dies this year.

Dark Horse Kasich to the rescue

 

[NeoXChaos]

do we really want people being killed just to have Trump as the nominee?

 

[AnotherNils]

Still blows my mind that Trump is so hated and dudes who aren't that much more moderate if at all skate

They're all the same America

That's the entire point of dog-whistle politics. To look better than you are.

 

[kingkitty]

just wow.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Very little disruption? Trump you have multiple protesters every rally.

 

[The Technomancer]

Remember when we all thought this election was going to be a dull campaign between Clinton and whatever whitebread candidate the GOP managed to settle on?

Yeah...

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

do we really want people being killed just to have Trump as the nominee?

Of course not.

 

[hipsterpants]

I'm having trouble seeing the positives in this. We really will have someone die, maybe even tonight. And this will just embolden his supporters even more. Fun.

That's not a "positive" but that blood is on Trump's hands

 

[hawk2025]

lol at the ex Secret Service guy on CNN "not getting people putting this on Trump".


Fuck off with saying this is the "nasty rhetoric of the left".

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

This former NYPD Officer is full of fucking shit on CNN right now.

 

[Slayven]

Soooooo will the GOP use this to put the swerve on Trump?

 

[HylianTom]

I wonder if this moves the polls over the weekend.

Talk about a big, flashing "YOU-ARE-FIXIN'-TA-GIT-FUKD-IN-N'VEMBR!!" warning sign for GOP voters. If they don't care after this kind of thing, wow..

 

[Aaron Strife]

I seriously hope nobody dies this year.

Well speaking broadly this is about as unrealistic a hope as Bernie getting his healthcare plan through Congress...

 

[Officerrob]

This was a leadership moment for Trump (this MSNBC phone call), he's failed miserably

 

[greatgeek]

Trump not backing down, blaming the protesters. This will only get worse.

 

[Kusagari]

Trump is literally just repeating his usual talking points in this MSNBC interview.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Soooooo will the GOP use this to put the swerve on Trump?

He's too far ahead and going to win a bunch of WTA states. There's nothing the inept leadership can do to Trump.

 

[User 406]

The positive here is that people aren't just going to sit there and let Trump hatefuck his way to the nomination without standing up to him and his bigot army.

 

[Cerium]

do we really want people being killed just to have Trump as the nominee?

I think that a protester actually dying at one of these would be the point where it begins to hurt Trump.

No one wants anyone killed for any reason.

 

[royalan]

I think that a protester actually dying at one of these would be the point where it begins to hurt Trump.

And that's fucking terrifying.

 

[Y2Kev]

Trump is going to beat the "you can't even have a peaceful rally anymore" drum and make lots of white people very angry. This is really scary.

 

[Iolo]

I do not share your optimism.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Jesus.. Chicago has gone mad.. Wow

I can't even imagine the shit show in Cleveland

 

[Officerrob]

Trump is going to beat the "you can't even have a peaceful rally anymore" drum and make lots of white people very angry. This is really scary.

Doubling down, he's lighting the match...

 

[Diablos]

This is just a sad, sad era for American politics.

The GOP is at the height of irresponsibility for not dealing with Trump when they should have. This party is beyond just being a joke. It is completely, utterly broken and they should not be a major party anymore.

 

[Tarkus]

Jesus.. Chicago has gone mad.. Wow

Chi-town baby!

 

[Mrs. Manky]

Folks, the RNC in Cleveland in 2016 might end up looking like the DNC in Chicago in 1968.

 

[sc0la]

Trump is going to beat the "you can't even have a peaceful rally anymore" drum and make lots of white people very angry. This is really scary.

I bet 50 cents it's something like 'These "thugs" trying to silence our freedom of speech'.

 

[HylianTom]

For anyone wondering, here's the FreeRepublic reaction thread to these goings-on:
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3408093/posts

Some choice quotes:

"Leftists are animals"

"Watching now - Trump rally over run by filthy illegals, Muslims, Commie youth and Black Lives Matter - they are throwing middle fingers at Americans and trying to incite violence."

"Obama to his followers, 'they bring a knife, you bring a gun.' "

"seems to be tied into the establishment trying to control sheeple."

"Filth exposed for all to see"

"Once again, Trump has ALL the right enemies."

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Oh Lord, Obama's going to bury the GOP deeper that Hoffa this fall:

 

[Slayven]

I hope not

 

[Macho Madness]

That's a lock.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

It's apparently very peaceful out there right now and a reminder, no reported injuries and a bunch of salty Trump supporters. So, let's calm down a bit here.

 

[Tarkus]

Trump on the phone live FNC

 

[Y2Kev]

Not to be totally craven, but wow Hillary escapes a brutal news cycle because of this...

 

[johnsmith]

Man, I bet Hillary's breathing a sigh of relief right now.

 

[damisa]

Trump is going to beat the "you can't even have a peaceful rally anymore" drum and make lots of white people very angry. This is really scary.

Having a bunch of black people on TV shouting "FUCK THE POLICE" is just going to drive more GOP voters and white people to him.

 

[User1608]

Well speaking broadly this is about as unrealistic a hope as Bernie getting his healthcare plan through Congress...

Damn it. Racists are truly weak-minded morons.

 

[Officerrob]

Not to be totally craven, but wow Hillary escapes a brutal news cycle because of this...

So what you're saying is that Trump really is working for the Clintons...

 

[User 463088]

This is terrifying. This fits into Trump's narrative completely. It builds the rage in angry white people, which is Trump's base. Cleveland is going to be a shit show. No joke.

 

[Tarkus]

Having a bunch of black people on TV shouting "FUCK THE POLICE" is just going to drive more GOP voters and white people to him.

True, there's probably just as many bad apples on each side.

 

[Diablos]

Over what? The AIDS thing? I mean, it's stupid. But not campaign-ending.

 

[theprodigy]

Damn it. Racists are truly weak-minded morons.

No as in "of course someone dies at any given moment."

For things completely unrelated to any protests.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Folks, the RNC in Cleveland in 2016 might end up looking like the DNC in Chicago in 1968.

It's going to be a shitshow. The biggest..

 

[Vinsanity.]

Damn it, I deposited $1800 to use on a market on PredictIt, only to find out that they limit it to a max of $850???

I already had $800 on that market, so basically I have $1800 sitting in my account now.

 

[User 406]

You guys do know this stuff was never just going to go away easily, right? Trump or no Trump.
