I thought wed already reached Peak Trumpmania but if his next speech ends with Trumps bodyguards going toe to toe with left-wing black activists trying to commandeer his stage to rant against the police, we might yet see him crack 50 percent in the polls. Im shocked that he ended up saying this off the cuff in a Q&A last night rather than as part of his prepared remarks. Its so squarely in the wheelhouse of his appeal offering to fight, literally, against a group thats politically correct to the point of being sacrosanct among progressives that a campaign strategist couldnt have scripted it better.
Hes not wrong about Sanders either.
I felt badly for him, but it showed that hes weak. You know what? Hes getting the biggest crowds, and Im getting the biggest crowds. Were the two getting the crowds. But believe me, thats not gonna happen to Trump.
I would never give up my microphone, the billionaire White House hopeful added. I thought that was disgusting.
That showed such weakness, the way he was taken away by two young women. The microphone! They just took the whole place over!
And the audience, which liked him! I mean, they were him! is saying, Whats going on? How can this happen?
True, but thats easy for Trump to say. Trump doesnt care if BLM hates him; if anything, it makes his supporters love him more. If Sanders gets a rap for opposing BLM, itll kill his progressive cred among parts of his own base. Theres already some tension on that point: Hes an old-school class warrior in a party whose young vanguard views race and identity, at least as much as class, as the tectonic plates in American society. They want to see more intersectionality blather from Bernie. If he had called the cops the enemy to clear black protesters, he would have been knocked as just another privileged white liberal whos happy to use the states power against blacks when it benefits him to do so. It was weak of him to disappoint his audience by canceling the rally, but it was more of a tactical retreat than a surrender. He left that event with his status as the pure, untainted left-winger in the race still more or less intact.
As for Trumps vow to fight if confronted at one of his own events, some BLM protesters on Twitter seem eager to test him on that. Stay tuned.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRump !
BLM? Bureau of Land Management?
Maybe Trump can shave some of those woven hair hats off, should BLM try to take over his space. This is an out and out dare. Trump is baiting them, to try it. I hope he’s ready.
Pretty soon everything Trump will be pay per view.
#6 = the same commie swine that brought Chavez to power.
Provocative but a winner. Everyone it very tired of seeing groups—PC, Illegals, etc.—bully their way around. Love to see Trump toss them aside and stand his ground. He’s issued a challenge so it is likely to happen.
If those two gals from the Viewers View end up siding with Trump against Black Lives Matter, that $oro$ pig is dead meat.
You have to love this man. This kind of courage will get him over 30% in polls on his way to 50%.
Hillary and Sanders cannot compete with that.
The other candidates are nothing compared to this.
They may as well fold and nominate Trump now.
Courage like this is impossible to compete with.
Trump needs to hire on a phalanx of very sturdy black bodyguards...former special forces types to provide protection from thugs.
Seriously!
ITS ON NOW!! Trump THREATENS Black Lives Matter protesters and they RESPOND on social media!!
Yep, Jeb fisted his forehead to the little thugs, like what’s-his-name, the ‘rat.
Wow . Look at those useful idiots in that picture. socialism is slavery and can never work. and that’s what these idiots are fighting for socialism. You can’t fix stupid
There will be blood! From the eye, from the nose, from ‘wherever’.
Agree. But remember loose lips sink ships LOL.
Yeah I want them to go protest Trump and then watch him to to 50% .
Can’t wait to see Trump take them down!
SEIU is vile.
I remember when we were protesting the 2000 election; and we were at the recount stage. Our group of FR people were protesting all over town. Suddenly, SEIU people showed up everywhere .. and they were mean, nasty, fighting, throwing things .. I’d never seen anything like it. It got to the point that the males in our group advised most of the ladies not to show up .. it was really scary.
