Trump protesters, Mexican flag-wavers could bring unintended consequences for GOP race
Los Angeles Times ^ | April 29, 2016 | By Ruben Vives and Shelby Grad•

The protests outside Donald Trump's rally in Costa Mesa on Thursday night appear to point to an upcoming month of activism by Latinos and others as the GOP front-runner tries to seal the presidential nomination in the state.

While the billionaire businessman has faced protests elsewhere, California could prove to be potent ground for demonstrators because of its large Latino population and Trump's negative comments about immigrants in this country illegally.

A USC/Times poll found that 77% of Latinos in California have a negative view of Trump. Yet among Republicans, Trump is ahead in that poll and several others.

Although Orange County was once a white, conservative bastion, its demographics have changed in recent decades. It's still reliably Republican, but GOP registration has declined significantly. The county's population has diversified, with an influx of Asian and Latino residents slowly diminishing the political clout of white voters.

"This is the anger people have against Trump," said Jose Cruz, 21, as he pointed to the protesters running in the middle of the street.

Haha! Would be true irony if President Trump hired the protesters to build the wall.

As the scare tactics of the Left get more violent, I wonder if it will scare people to the Right.

Perhaps the unintended consequences will be for the Party of our overlords.

“This is the anger people have against Trump,” said Jose Cruz, 21, as he pointed to the protesters running in the middle of the street.”

Showing your anger by ‘running around in the middle of the streets’ is exactly why a giant wall needs to be built.

Somehow, the image of Mexicans waving THEIR flag, stomping cop cars and burning an AMERICAN city might not sit too well with flyover country.

I Don’t know whether they scare them of not, nut I do know that they need to realize that they need to protect themselves from the attacks of the Leftists. I understand that it may be difficult because the police protect the hoodlums but sometimes you have to bite the bullet.

...two-thirds of whom are illegals, amnestied illegals, or the descendants thereof.

Hmm. I see the Mexican flag flying in San Antonio all the time. Same level as American flag, too. St Therese basilica, for one. Doesn’t seem to raise any arguments from the Texans. The shush me all the time for being pissed. I have a New York accent bid that it? Nah. Mexican flag still up. Are the flyover?

We have to remember, according to the left, the press, the Democrats and the Uni-party, all of the “protests” and lawlessness is Trump’s fault.
But wait, the left, the press, the Democrats and the Uni-party, is really one and the same.
