Thousands rally as Trump turns toward California
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Apr. 28, 2016 | Gillian Flaccus and Amy Taxin, Associated Press |

Thousands of supporters turned out Thursday as Donald Trump brought his campaign to Southern California, predictably sparking shouting matches with counter-demonstrators.

Heated words were exchanged after people wearing expletive-laden anti-Trump shirts began to taunt people waiting in line to attend Trump's evening speech in an amphitheater at the Orange County Fairgrounds.

Trump supporters surrounded the demonstrators and shouted "Build that wall! Build that wall!" — a reference to Trump's call to create a barrier between the United States and Mexico to stop illegal border crossers.

Later, county sheriff's deputies in riot gear and on horseback formed a barrier between a small group of anti-Trump demonstrators and the jeering Trump crowd, whose attention was then diverted by a group of seven topless young women who wore only stickers to cover their breasts. They also had slogans such as "Dump Trump" and "Gender Equality" written in marker on their midriffs.

There were no arrests and no repeat of a confrontation two days earlier outside Anaheim City Hall where an anti-Trump protester pepper-sprayed five people, including two young girls. Nobody was seriously injured in the incident, and police did not immediately make an arrest.

Trump, fresh off a sweep of five Northeastern primaries, is courting California voters hoping to lock up the Republican nomination with the state's June 7 primary.

Most hated? Well if Boehner is correct Cruz’s real name is Applegate, and he wants to give some middle-aged guy a chance to be a baseball star.

If Trump does just these two things while in office, I'd start drinking again ;):

1: Deport 60 million illegal aliens

2: Hold Nuremberg style trials for all the traitors and anti-American scumbags in DC

The newscaster keeps saying that the anti-Trump crowd (the ones waving the Mexican flag) is peaceful. Except for a few dozen people getting in people’s faces and jumping on cars...

If one person that is a Trump supporter did anything similar they would say the crowd was out of control.

‘Trump supporters surrounded the demonstrators and shouted “Build that wall! Build that wall!”’

I feel this thrill running up my leg. They need to get a chant/wave going in the stadium.....”Deport them now! Deport them now!”

This is not a peaceful demonstration. Be surprising if this is reported in any of the media tomorrow.

I won’t be holding my breath.

If there are no pictures, it didn't happen.

Ted Cruz is the most hated man in America. Most folks here would rather have e coli than even consider voting for him. <<<

I agree with your sentiments 100%, but for the record, All people HAVE ecoli...it’s merely contained where it belongs...

I liked your analogy, it made me chuckle.

Can't really tell. Speaking of 'tells', know what it means when people have their arms crossed ?

That is not an excited crowd. Not quite on the scale of Jeb Bush... but it's getting there.

Does Ted Cruz Photoshop out his fat neck in campaign photos? I never realized it was so fat.

>Oma Talley ‏@OmaTalley1 3h3 hours ago Trump internals from Indiana as of today: Trump - 51% Cruz - 32% Kasich - 13% That's really good news. I was worried that Hillery voters would cross over to vote for Cruz like they did in WI, but I think that spread will be to wide for them.
