I thought we’d already reached Peak Trumpmania but if his next speech ends with Trump’s 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. I’m shocked that he ended up saying this off the cuff in a Q&A last night rather than as part of his prepared remarks. It’s so squarely in the wheelhouse of his appeal — offering to fight, literally, against a group that’s politically correct to the point of being sacrosanct among progressives — that a campaign strategist couldn’t have scripted it better.
He’s not wrong about Sanders either.
‘I felt badly for him, but it showed that he’s weak. You know what? He’s getting the biggest crowds, and I’m getting the biggest crowds. We’re the two getting the crowds. But believe me, that’s 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, “What’s going on? How can this happen?”‘
True, but that’s easy for Trump to say. Trump doesn’t care if BLM hates him; if anything, it makes his supporters love him more. If Sanders gets a rap for opposing BLM, it’ll kill his progressive cred among parts of his own base. There’s already some tension on that point: He’s 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 who’s happy to use the state’s 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 Trump’s 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.

Can you imagine the scene? BLM shows up. They try to take the mic. And a brawl ensues. Trump will be on the headlines for weeks. The other candidates may as well go home. People will find out that they may not be fond of him but he has guts which no one else does.
That will get him to 50%.
LOL
When the BLM racists and homos start disrupting Trump business with protests, boycotts and internal sabotage by employees, we will see what actual courage he has.
I think he will fight. But it WILL be a fight.
Blood-letting Matters!
Yes. I just hope the Donald has an army ready because those “protestors” are an army of brown shirts thugs and criminals
SEIU and PP
The Donald vs. The Democrat Rent-a-mobs. My money is on The Donald.
Those are brown shirts. Looks like a battle is going to take place brown shirts vs the Donald. I just hope they don’t hurt Trump. This could be the start of Civil War 2.
He does have an army. Have you seen his body guards? All well over 6 feet monsters. NO WORRIES. trump wants to be the boss and he is showing he can handle anything.
Here is the Donald...body slams Mcmahon...then shaves his hair off....watch the video...
Donald Trump bodyslams, beats and shaves Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania XX

All I can say is that so far he is exhibiting more personal courage than any candidate.
He is ready for a fight and welcoming it.
That is what a leader is made of.
thanks!
thanks!
Trump is going to have to take down those brown shirts like that too.
Which is nothing but good.
I think BLS is going to find few friends outside the white libs and pure ferals because the Rap community has loved Trump for years because ‘he’s a baller’.
That said, I think it’s going to get really ugly for him but he has the cash to fight with. He can buy a couple networks if he needs to and really unleash hell if they push him too far.
Some one has to make Soros disappear. He is pure evil.
A Hillary Clinton Production.
I do not think it will get ugly.
There will be a lot of controversy, but the more Trump gets challenged the more attention e gets and the other candidates fall off.
Plus Trump is loving this like he knows exactly what he wants. If anything it will get ugly for all the others.
“BLM? Bureau of Land Management?”
If I were having a rally, I wouldn’t want them anywhere close :)
This is going to be good.
When is Trump's next public appearance?
