Democracy in action doesnt mean mob ruleAs someone once eloquently put it, democracy is three wolves and one sheep deciding what's on the dinner menu.

The Democratic abandoned Democracy years ago and have embraced Fascism. Last night in Chicago, that is what they demonstrated. Even within the nomination, Hillary Clinton has bought the nomination by paying off the DNC Debt, and now Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is ordering the Super Delegates to vote for Hillary or be stripped of their titles. She has put pressure on all Democratic leaders and lawmakers. Some have even resigned their positions, or opening challenged her. The response has been her isolating them, just like the Nazis did to the Jews. You would think that Debbie, being Jewish, would realize what she is doing. But she has not. Debbie is a fascist, and those who protested in Chicago are fascists. And the press is endorsing this Fascism. We are doomed as a country

Which is why our Founding Fathers gave us a Representative Republic.

American elections have always been rough and tumble affairs. In politics of this nature, it is a blood sport and only the the strongest and most skilled survive the contest. To say things ought to be done by Marquis of Queensbury Rules is both foolish and stupid. The political process is what it is. And, by the way, America is a representative republic and not a democracy. By definition, a democracy is mob rule.

Donald Trump: I canceled Chicago rally because I didnt want to see people hurt or worse Ted Cruz: "A campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence."

Imagine the media’s outrage if Trump supporters stormed a Sanders event and attempted to silence him.
To: Donglalinger
Ted Cruz will be the Leftist mob’s next target if Trump falters. Once they get a taste of silencing people it won’t stop with Trump.

D@mn!
Not only are you absolutely correct, you are fast.

Pure democracy IS mob rule. That is why the institution of it was avoided in favor of representative democracy in the drafting of the Constitution.

Trump knows exactly what he is doing. He has sucked out all the oxygen from everyone else, it’s all Trump, all day, day after day. Just watch as Tuesday turns into a landslide for Trump.

Its passed Mob Rule, its actually terrorism Watching Greta on FOX during the Chicago riot last night:
Greta and the FOX reporter on the street (John Roberts?) were discussing how peaceful and civil the mob was.
Meanwhile the live action they were showing was people charguing the police lines, fighting with each other and the police, and of police trying to take down and handcuff out of control mobsters.
I was thinking that either Greta and her staff don't watch their own monitors or they are trying to spin the story.
Or both.

Democracy is mob rule.
We don't have a democracy, we have a Republic, because the founders sought to avoid that pitfall.
