Donald Trump is failing the test of leadership posed by the increasing violence at his rallies.

No it's not common courtesy it's that pesky thing called the 1st Amendment.
I’m getting the feeling that this was completely organized from the start...and the left wanted a BIG riot in Chicago...complete with their hack mayor not providing enough police presence. Trump’s instincts served him well when he called of off the rally - but the pre-written stories about the aftermath are still being published.
President Obama once said of Republicans: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
they can assemble elsewhere.
Thugs on the left are causing the problems... Everyone with eyes can see that...
He didn’t start the fire.
Wow.
When #BLACKLIESMATTER physically attacks you, it’s your fault?
Trump’s landslide is going to be of unprecedented proportions.
Classic Alinsky/Comintern strategy: incite an incident, then blame it on the victim. The “big lie” in action, brought to you by the first-amendment-protected MSM.
Well said.
Bernie failed the test when he let the OBLM scum take his mic.
Actually, the First Amendment covers GOVERNMENT action, not the action of Mobs.
I’ll not go into my preferred methods of “managing” unlawful mobs demanding abridgement of the rights of others. . . .
In Chicago the thugs were breaking the windows of cars with “Trump” stickers on them.
The left are haters, bullies and out of control goons. Has Hillary ‘disavowed’ the violence? Has Bernie? The democrat party should condemn their filth...
The establishment (including both parties) have been unable to stop the Trump juggernaut with anything thus far. Look for the desperate measures to ramp up, especially after he sweeps today.
It’s gonna get very ugly.
Trump isn’t causing violence at his rallies. Only one 78 year old Trump supporter has been charged. The rally protesters have been decreasing since Trump started prosecuting their asses.
Don't you know that your perceived micro-aggression justifies their macro-aggression?
I agree...and did you noticed that Cruz, Rubio and Kasich all had the same blame it on Trump story right out of the gate...even before all the facts were known?
They were eager and implicit in wanting this to be a big bloody riot so they could go out and blame Trump and his supporters.
This article typifies the national coverage and "outrage" over the issue of violence on the campaign trail that proves the double-standard applied by the ruling-elites.
In 2004 Al Franken, a nationally known Democrat politician, was celebrated by the ruling elites for bodily attacking a heckler that had not physically threatened or attacked anyone. While those same ruling-elites today condemn Trump for advocating physical responses to the threats and physical attacks of hecklers - while never bodily attacking anyone himself.
"AL FRANKEN KNOCKS DOWN DEAN HECKLER" - NYPost
Wise-cracking funnyman Al Franken yesterday body-slammed a demonstrator to the ground after the man tried to shout down Gov. Howard Dean.And CNN revealed its bias with a 2004 article which even concealed Franken's own admission of charging and knocking down the heckler and only said:The tussle left Franken's trademark thick-rim glasses broken, but he said he was not injured.
Franken - who seemed in a state of shock and out of breath after the incident - was helped back to his feet by several people who watched the tussle. Police arrived soon after.
"I got down low and took his legs out," said Franken afterwards.
Franken said he's not backing Dean but merely wanted to protect the right of people to speak freely. "I would have done it if he was a Dean supporter at a Kerry rally," he said.
"Franken... helped carry out one of the disrupters. In the process, Franken's glasses were knocked off his face and broke in two."Also notice that CNN's headline was the disruption of the heckler(s) and not the actual physical attack by Franken.
And, “Get in their face!”. msm——————crickets
