I think Donald Trump likely will defeat Hillary Clinton, simply because she is such a terrible candidate. But if the current trend toward anti-Trump riots and violence continues, Trump could win going away.
Last night in Orange County, Trump addressed a crowd of thousands. Anti-Trump demonstrators, some waving Mexican flags, attacked policemen and bystanders. The liberal Los Angeles Times reports:
Hundreds of demonstrators filled the street outside the Orange County amphitheater where Donald Trump held a rally Thursday night, stomping on cars, hurling rocks at motorists and forcefully [!] declaring their opposition to the Republican presidential candidate.
Traffic came to a halt as a boisterous crowd walked in the roadway, some waving American and Mexican flags. Protesters smashed a window on at least one police cruiser, punctured the tires of a police sport utility vehicle, and at one point tried to flip a police car.
One Costa Mesa police officer was struck in the head by a rock thrown by a protestor, authorities said.
The rioters “appeared to be mostly Latinos in their late teens and 20s.” Seventeen were arrested.
Riots continued today at the California GOP convention south of San Francisco. Protesters blocked traffic so that Trump was forced to exit his vehicle to get to the hotel where the convention was in progress. Riot police made at least five more arrests of violent protesters.
Protesters — some of whom wore bandanas over their faces and carried Mexican flags — blocked off the road in front of the Hyatt Regency here, forcing the GOP front-runner’s motorcade to pull over along a concrete median outside the hotel’s back entrance. Trump and his entourage got out and walked into the building. “That was not the easiest entrance I’ve ever made,” Trump said once he began speaking at the convention, adding, “it felt like I was crossing the border.”
At one point before Trump arrived, about two dozen protesters tried to rush barriers near the hotel. Police officers then rushed to the building’s doors, successfully blocking the protesters from getting in. Some of the doors’ handles were handcuffed from the inside so they couldn’t be forced open.
Several physical altercations, including shoving, could be seen between protesters and police officers, who were using batons to push them back.
After Trump arrived, protesters took down a barrier and flooded the entrance outside the hotel, where police again blocked them from entering. They chanted, “Get him out.”
We are seeing more and more of this kind of thing. Leaving downtown Minneapolis tonight, I bumped into a friend who was steaming because he was delayed by anti-Trump protesters who blocked traffic. Is there something in the Constitution about a right to close down streets and bridges, and delay others who are lawfully going about their business? I must have been absent that day.
Most people really, really don’t like violent protesters. They especially don’t like rioters who wave foreign flags. If there is anything that could guarantee Donald Trump’s election as president, this is it.
UPDATE: One more thing: I love the guy in the photo above, standing in front of a sign that says “Keep Hate Out of America” while flipping a double bird. Liberals are devoid of any sense of irony.
That's approaching Alex Jones paranoia. If you really believe we're that far gone log off and find another hobby.
Sorry, don’t be too surprised when Hillary sweeps a lot of the NE and west coast traditional blue states (I sincerely hope not).
/will be back a few months after I find another hobby
Of course Hillary will win CA, WA, MA and VT. Not because the elections are rigged, but because those are liberal states. Trump doesn't need CA to win. He can beat Hillary if he just keeps Romney's states and flips PA, MI, NH and FL.
Hinderaker remembers Nixon’s ‘Law & Order’ ‘72 Campaign very well ... he was midway through Harvard Law!
Wat? All Trump needs is Ohio '04. In fact, Cankles cannot win without Ohio.
You’re being naive about this. The GOPE and RATS are in collusion. How have you managed to miss that fact after all that’s happened recently?
It's coming down to this: Sooner or later decent people will have to stand up to the bullies of the Left. Force -- whether it's forceful words or physical force -- is the only thing bullies understand.
I expect things to get very ugly ... even uglier than the physical appearance of many which comprise the Left's mobs.
‘WHO PAID FOR THE MATCHING BLACK SHIRTS? WHO PAID FOR THE SIGNS?’
Good question. And are they registered as agents of foreign powers?
Wonder how conservative Indiana will react when they see this Mexican flag waving crap in California!>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If they get to see the truth of La Razza nationalism and how wealthy that organization is, they would desert Cruz the Latino in droves and go for Trump.
Good question. And are they registered as agents of foreign powers?
I'm guessing communists too...
