L.A. Times Worries About 'Unintended Consequences' of Mexican Flags at Anti-Trump Protest

Um... Could you anti-Trump protesters please not display so many Mexican flags when protesting against Trump? You might not realize it but it will only help him in the California primary in June.

That is the big worry of the Los Angeles Times in reporting about the protests against Donald Trump yesterday in Costa Mesa. Here is the Times wringing its hands in worry as reported by Ruben Vives and Shelby Grad, about the "unintended consequences" of displaying the Mexican flag which proved counter-productive in the past:

This isn’t a Trump specific event. It’s a California Republican Party convention, and he was invited to give a speech. Kasich and Cruz will be giving speeches as well.

Gaming for an Indiana win by going to California where it was known that protestors would show up and act the way they did, thus motivating/inclining Indiana to vote Trump.

Played 'em like a violin and they're too stupid to realize it.

the "unintended consequences" of displaying the Mexican flag which proved counter-productive in the past:

Translated: "Please do NOT reveal the real reason behind your protest!"

Similar to the KKK showing up 'in uniform' (sheets) to protest a "BlackLivesMatter" gathering.

I can’t recall where I first saw it...but it rang true when I read it and never forgot it.

It’s as true now as it was then.

“This isn’t a Trump specific event. It’s a California Republican Party convention, and he was invited to give a speech. Kasich and Cruz will be giving speeches as well.”

I think it’s interesting that the protestors aren’t protesting Kasich or Cruz. They fear a Trump presidency, and they know the other two will welcome them and their spawn with open arms.

Every wave of the Mexican flag at an anti-Trump riot generates another vote for him.

After the displays of “Hate America & Donald J. Trump” by the Mexican,low life thugs, illegals, drug pushers, Soros, Sanders, Clinton, Democrats, and Ted Cruz...it is hard to believe that any voter in Indiana sound of mind and brain, could ever cast his or her vote for :Lyin’ Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz has been U.S. Senate, Senator from Texas for a number of years now, and he has done not one thing to curb the illegal entry of Mexicans, Muslims, Drug Dealers, Felons, Murderers, etc. into the USA!!! “ZERO”!!! Now...if you good folks in Indiana want Ted Cruz and his clone, Carly Fiorina to do what they have done over the last few years, allowing illegal free & easy entry to the USA...then, by all means cast your votes for them this coming Tuesday in the Indiana POTUS Primary.

If not, then cast your vote where it really counts, for Donald J. Trump for POTUS!!! Do it!!! Support & Vote for the only candidate that will make America great again....DONALD J. TRUMP!!!

The protesters are apparently too dumb to realize that they’re simply proving Trump’s points — and giving him more free publicity!

They are helping trump. But they are hoping that the chaos and violence they are demonstrating will scare people into submission. Some people will fear that demonstrations will lead to violence and then riots.
