After months of playing protesters to his advantage, Donald Trump is overpowered in Chicago
Washington Post ^ | 12 March 16 | Jenna Johnson

Donald Trump has had to learn how to fill the awkward minutes it takes for security guards to locate, confront and remove protesters from his rallies.

Sometimes he uses that time to mock the conflict-obsessed media. Or he will comment on how gingerly the police treat protesters, unlike in the good old days. Or he will mention how this country has become racially divided under President Obama. Or he will tell the story of how Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders once lost his microphone to two female Black Lives Matter protesters, sometimes even acting out how Sanders wandered around the stage, unsure of how to react.

“That will never happen with me,” Trump has repeatedly said, often adding another “never” to emphasize his point. For months, Trump has been able to control — and often use to his advantage — the hundreds of protesters who show up to his rallies to oppose rhetoric they consider divisive, racist and hateful. In the past two weeks, these interruptions have increasingly eaten away at Trump’s speaking time and have often become violent, with police in North Carolina charging a Trump supporter who punched a protester at a rally on Wednesday. Trump often says that he loves having protesters at his rallies, that they make his rallies fun. Plus, the interruptions are an opportunity to show him bossing around and mocking liberals, often bellowing: “Get ’em out!” But Trump could not control the protesters who showed up by the thousands to his rally Friday night at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Upon arriving in the city and consulting with security, Trump indefinitely postponed the event — disappointing his fans who had waited hours to see him and delighting protesters who believed they had silenced the Republican front-runner, taking away his microphone for one...

Disgusting.

The Washington Compost, the Enemedia, Obama, Soros, Jarrett, the Islamic murderers, the Illegal Invaders, and the godless thugs celebrating their violence and Brown Shirt tactics.

The man who rushed the stage today wanted to kill or injure Donald Trump.

And the media celebrates!?

My God. My God. I fear that our nation is as much of a power keg tonight as it was in April 1861.

And here is Jenna Johnson, the smiling little Washington Post fascist who penned this cheerleading screed to the violent godless Left.

I would wager she has had several abortions.

You should hear how Trump pulled an Alinsky on them tonight in KC.

He ridiculed them. He turned the Left’s most potent weapon upon them.

And he hasn’t even gotten started.

I loved the line that Bernie’s supporters look for a free lunch.

Many of the thugs come from the gimmedat crowd.

Chicago Bernie babies are stupid. They just assured Trump millions of additional votes, while Bernie heads for the Home for the Addle Pated.

Sounds like it was a pre-scripted plan to somehow blame Trump for the violence and show him to be weak by the establishment...because it was pre-orchestrated.

I've really had a bellyful of the crybully left and their enemedia accessories. And you can throw in the cuckservative hand-wringers too.

If it's a fight they want...well let's just say that I don't like their odds.

Yes, Trump turned it around. Thank god. They failed. They assumed Republicans would get spooked against Trump. Trump has given us strength to fight back.

I got excited for a minute when I saw the byline and thought it was Jenna Jameson, but then was immediately let down by not only her real name but the picture you posted.

In KC the thugs came out but Trump had fun at their expense.

And people outside where still waiting in line to get inside.

This is so great. Trump was not over powered!!! A trump black Supporter was murdered!! That is on the communists.
But today Trump appeared before over 60,000 people in three locations. Kansas City was his BEST as he says he will now press charges on these disrupting communists. ( he will do that with and army of his lawyers!!)
Today an ISIS IMO attacked him and was taken down by the Secret Service. ISIS!!! You want to blame Trump for ISIS attacks? The “JUDGE” let that isis bastard loose. What is the name of that judge? Defund that corrupt bitch.
We will not sit quietly and get attacked. We will FIGHT BACK!!!Go TRUMP!! YOU ARE WINNING!!

All they did was simply hand the election over to Trump.

Read the article...then step back....

The important point was that this protest didn’t stop Trump, it made him stronger in the polls.....

It also flushed the three stooges, little Rubio, lying Ted and Kaisich for the bought and paid for tools they are by the establishment....

Sweet young Jenna couldn’t be more wrong. Like the thugs who think they won a great victory by forcing Trump to cancel his Chicongo rally, she fails to realize that they have transformed Trump into the victim and expanded his base of support - which now includes millions more Americans who know they might also be silenced. Obama was the wind, and Trump appears to be the whirlwind.
