Trump's rally in Chicago stopped due to protests

josevolution

The fact of the matter is that no presidential candidate should be promoting violence against his protesters ....and he has even yesterday earlier in the day he was advocating for the protesters to get punched out !

Trump has finally become dangerous.

How has he become dangerous?
He has been saying the same things since he began running.

Didn't you watch the video? My comment was in the context of the rest of my post, uh.

1hr 30min? no thanks
How is he becoming dangerous?

Just play the video I posted - it's only the first few minutes at the beginning.

Jesus, don't comment if you aren't even absorbing the post.

It probably just another anti-trump video, there are tonnes of them.
Not interested. Why do you think he has become dangerous?

It is clips of him, mainly. I am not fucking typing out what I have posted in a video because you refuse to watch the vid that sspecifically answers your question, FFS.

My latest prediction: Trump looses hugely in the biggest landslide ever with the lowest voter turnout ever. America goes home and scratches it's collective heads because we don't know what else to do when when are dumb struck by how badly a large number (but not large percent) of our population were duped and how poorly they acted toward one another. The racists, fundamentalists, neo-nazis and other hate groups will all retreat into their corners and wring their hands in aimless anger. Meanwhile, the youth of America step back and call nonsense on the whole freak show and start implementing some big changes in the American mindset.

I agree Trump loses handily and that many Republicans stay home and do not vote.

Except the turnout models don't agree with you.

I don't think there are any models that can accurately predict what turnout for Trump will look like in the fall.

I still think there is a decent chance he won't even be there. I know there is a lot of talk of the fact that the republicans are saying they'll support him, but I think they are still leaving an opening for themselves because what they are actually saying is "we will support the nominee". Trump arriving in Cleveland with 40% doesn't make him the nominee, it just makes him the delegate leader. The party could still give the nomination to someone else... who they then will all support as per their comments.

Yes, this has never happened before, but the republican party has never had this level of turmoil before either.

Doesn't look like panic. Just reacting like anyone would.

If I were going to a website that has a MAJORITY of members that were Conservatives, then started baiting threads everyday, that I knew were going to create arguments, I would hope to begin to think just maybe I needed to rethink my need for attention.

"Knock the hell out of them. I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise."

On February 1st, Trump made a promise to an angry crowd. You protect me, he said, and I'll protect you. "If you see someone getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. Knock the hell out of them. I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise."

I've asked the same questions you've asked a couple of times. myyoung, and never really gotten much a fix on it. Odd as it may seem, there are some very conservative people who enjoy the music made by a band that has been outspokenly liberal in their viewpoints. I sometimes wonder if there are very liberal minded folks who still listen to Ted Nugent. Yes, very perplexing.

He's a shit stirrer, pure and simple. The odd thing is, there is not real aim or direction or motive behind stirring the shit other than DT's self fulfilling attention getting.

If you don't support someone or something, then don't show up. You should go to an event that you do support. Not disrupt an event like a child and not expect to get popped in the face.

I do agree with The Donald about one thing- I love the poorly educated as well... They are a funny group of individuals.

I don't know if you fully understand what the word protest means.

And if someone is protesting peacefully, they should never get "popped in the face". That's not how we roll in a civilized country.

I don't think it's a matter of people protesting Trump simply because they do not support him. It's more about people objecting to having a racist neo-nazi promote hate, violence and racism. It's the same reason why we protested the war Viet Nam and help bring an end to that travesty. What Trump stands for and promotes is a travesty and many Americans find it abhorrent that so many give support to that. Protest against that is a reasonable, justifiable reaction.

Is it really perplexing? With all due respect this can be seen as making inferences towards the old "you're with us or you're against us" mentality. Perhaps people find solace in Pearl Jam's art in ways that transcend political views. You can care deeply about people/things despite not seeing eye to eye on things political. There's a lot more to life than that! I know you know this so please don't read this as uppity or preachy but this line of discussion has come up before and it kind of comes across as exclusionary. Beyond the band preaching any type of hatred (which they obviously don't) I don't see why people of all backgrounds, opinions, etc., can't find something from them. I think it is pretty awesome that people enjoy the band despite having differing opinions and coming from different walks of life.

What do you think the band members would say if asked whether they think it's cool to question fandom based purely on political views? Beyond basic human rights stuff, politics are but a small picture of what someone is and I think they know this (but who knows, maybe I'm wrong).

Okay, I see what you're saying. However, if someone wants to peacefully protest they should do it outside of the rally and not inside. I don't know if there is a way to peacefully protest in the middle of a rally.

In this day and age you're just looking for trouble if you are protesting inside.
