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.

>Arrest George Soros, he's paying these thugs to riot against Trump.

George Soros is basically a real life Bond villain.

But don't they know that Trump just wants to give them touch back amnesty? Like Cruz keeps saying? They should love Trump and his open borders policy! /s

They used to give the protesters American flags to wave, but I guess they don't care anymore.

Why wait for the inevitable? Just give California back to Mexico now and move on.

Here is what all the lawyer politicians in D.C. have created in the U.S. folks. Looking just a few miles east into San Bernardino, the lawyer politicians recently imported mass murdering terrorist into our country, who just a few months ago killed 14 and severely injured 22 other Americans.

Hell no. We won the state and we’re not going to give it back. Besides, do you think the invasion will stop with CA? They’re like locusts, once they’re done destroying CA they’ll move onto the rest of the union.

These people come to escape the cesspool of Messy-co, then yell Viva-La Mexico.

Good grief, these people truly are illiterate.

This is the direct result of what the lawyer politicians in the U.S. have imported into our country. Millions who are violent and lawless, and will hurt or kill if you and your family if don't do what your told or act they way they want you to.

Don’t forget to note that the Times utterly ignored all the families whom Trump turned the mike over to who spoke about their family members being killed by illegals.

Those ‘latinos’ don’t count, of course.

Actually they do. If you have ever been there you would know it is completely invaded.

“”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.”

No, this is the anger the citizens have against the illegals and the system that let them stay here. This is by Trump is winning. Their third world mob reaction and wearing Mexican flags will just make Trump win bigger.

“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. “

That’s exactly the reaction I got in Texas and California. You need to escape too! I moved 2300 miles to a rural conservative area in Tennessee. I love it! Lots of Americans here. Those border states are completely ruined and anyone saying otherwise are suffering from normalcy bias. I’ve been through all of them and have lived in two.

Trump may be able to help those states, but I’m still never moving back.

They didn't come here to get away from Mexico. They came here for the reconquista.

“One of the quotes, “This is how people treat a country when they’re allowed to illegally enter it without repercussion” accompanies a 3 minute video of masked “Latinos” stopping traffic, beating on the cars that can’t move while the occupants are trapped inside, writing graffiti on the cars while they’re stopped with a black marker, covering the windows of the occupied cars with the Mexican flag, damaging police cars and generally acting like animals.”

It will no doubt backfire. People are already seething mad about the invasion and this just adds fuel.
