I think Donald Trump likely will defeat Hillary Clinton, simply because she is such a terrible candidate. But if the current trend toward anti-Trump riots and violence continues, Trump could win going away.
Last night in Orange County, Trump addressed a crowd of thousands. Anti-Trump demonstrators, some waving Mexican flags, attacked policemen and bystanders. The liberal Los Angeles Times reports:
Hundreds of demonstrators filled the street outside the Orange County amphitheater where Donald Trump held a rally Thursday night, stomping on cars, hurling rocks at motorists and forcefully [!] declaring their opposition to the Republican presidential candidate.
Traffic came to a halt as a boisterous crowd walked in the roadway, some waving American and Mexican flags. Protesters smashed a window on at least one police cruiser, punctured the tires of a police sport utility vehicle, and at one point tried to flip a police car.
One Costa Mesa police officer was struck in the head by a rock thrown by a protestor, authorities said.
The rioters “appeared to be mostly Latinos in their late teens and 20s.” Seventeen were arrested.
Riots continued today at the California GOP convention south of San Francisco. Protesters blocked traffic so that Trump was forced to exit his vehicle to get to the hotel where the convention was in progress. Riot police made at least five more arrests of violent protesters.
Protesters — some of whom wore bandanas over their faces and carried Mexican flags — blocked off the road in front of the Hyatt Regency here, forcing the GOP front-runner’s motorcade to pull over along a concrete median outside the hotel’s back entrance. Trump and his entourage got out and walked into the building. “That was not the easiest entrance I’ve ever made,” Trump said once he began speaking at the convention, adding, “it felt like I was crossing the border.”
At one point before Trump arrived, about two dozen protesters tried to rush barriers near the hotel. Police officers then rushed to the building’s doors, successfully blocking the protesters from getting in. Some of the doors’ handles were handcuffed from the inside so they couldn’t be forced open.
Several physical altercations, including shoving, could be seen between protesters and police officers, who were using batons to push them back.
After Trump arrived, protesters took down a barrier and flooded the entrance outside the hotel, where police again blocked them from entering. They chanted, “Get him out.”
We are seeing more and more of this kind of thing. Leaving downtown Minneapolis tonight, I bumped into a friend who was steaming because he was delayed by anti-Trump protesters who blocked traffic. Is there something in the Constitution about a right to close down streets and bridges, and delay others who are lawfully going about their business? I must have been absent that day.
Most people really, really don’t like violent protesters. They especially don’t like rioters who wave foreign flags. If there is anything that could guarantee Donald Trump’s election as president, this is it.
UPDATE: One more thing: I love the guy in the photo above, standing in front of a sign that says “Keep Hate Out of America” while flipping a double bird. Liberals are devoid of any sense of irony.
they will help Trump tremendously in all except the most insane lefty cities.
seeing rabid animal youth holding another country’s flag while attacking one of our political parties tends to turn people off.
The first ones to say “this was our country first” will seal the deal for republicans.
Yes. They will. Please, rioters, find some larger foreign flags. Not everyone has perfect vision.
Couldn’t agree more... How ignorant can they get? They’re guaranteeing a Trump landslide.
I agree.
Based on the Obama hateful style of criticism of any opponent I presume that the administration is behind the demonstrations. They are so Alinsky-like and it is now for certain that Obama adopted Alinsky tactics as his method.
It will get bloodier. This will turn into a left wing revolution and the progressives will beg Obama to stay ...
Stay tuned for more developments.
Political correctness, like all censorship, distorts perception. Liberals think that, because they've terrorized almost everyone into keeping their real opinions on illegal immigration and the anti-American sentiments harbored by many immigrants to themselves, most people agree with the liberal narrative.
Therefore they assume everyone who sees this spectacle will naturally side with the criminal rioters, since Trump and his supporters are self evidently wrong, and probably fascist.
When Trump crushes Hillary no one will be more susprised than the purple hair SJW crew. "B-b-but no one I know voted for him!"
They’re heads are gonna’ explode alright. It’ will be delicious to watch.
..........tomping on cars, hurling rocks at motorists and forcefully [!] declaring their opposition to the Republican presidential candidate. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Free get out the vote advertising for the Trump Campaign.
Voters do not want these wild monkey boy children to rule America.
Voters will turn out for The Donald by the millions.
Who is to know for sure it isn’t or wasn’t the same they publicly discourage, who to hand them a few thousand dollars to do what they did? Wouldn’t be surprised. It’s a Deal, a business.
Whichever side goes violent ends up being the losing side in a political dispute unless the side using violence has the army and police on their side.
They are already claiming that, so I posted this link:

Some flags from communist countries would be a nice touch, like it’s 1969.
Seeing Trump get out of the SUV, walk down that ramp and jump down off of it, to go into the back entrance to the hotel speaks volumes about the vermin who tried to block his access to the GOP Convention. If the media showed that video, Trump will get more support. His stand on immigration will work to prevent the anarchy these demons are bringing into our neighborhoods.
I blame Ted Kennedy, Reagan, Bush & Obama. These opened the floodgates to the filth from the Third World. We have lost much of the country.
We are in danger.
