How black, Latino and Muslim college students organized to stop Trump's rally in Chicago
Lps Angeles Times ^ | March 12, 2016 | Kate Linthicum and Kurtis Lee

When black, Muslim and Latino student activists at the University of Illinois at Chicago heard last week that Donald Trump was planning a rally on campus, they did what any good organizers do in 2016: They went online.

Within days, thousands of people had liked a Facebook page called "Stop Trump – Chicago." Tens of thousands added their names to a MoveOn.org petition calling on the school to cancel the rally.

They all had one thing in common, said Casandra Robledo, a second-year student who helped organize the protest: "We felt so strongly that Donald Trump and his bigotry and racism wasn’t welcome here.”

Nonsense! There may have been some students there too, but this was clearly professionally organized by Moveon and similar organizations.

Exactly how is Trump bigoted?

Bigoted against illegals who at the least suck up jobs and taxpayer money and at the worst rape and murder?

Bigoted against Muslims who generally don’t assimilate and lie in wait for orders to turn into demons?

Bigoted against a government that has stolen trillions from American taxpayers? A government whose leaders no private company could survive?

Bigoted against a hobbled military set out to fight in wars we cannot win?

I wonder if any of these people have a decent answer.

Trump supporters need to organize and stage communist flag burning demonstrations outside of every Bernie Sanders Rally from here on forward. We should also be prepared to defend themselves if the sanderistas attack

if anything happens to Donald Trump, something should also happened to Bernie Sanders. An eye for an eye

Haven’t heard a peep the last what(?) 48 hours from the Establishment in DC. They seemingly have turned it over to their candidates and the mob, since the Jebbers meeting.

However, Jeb must have assigned Neil to a candidate, for some purpose, other than changing Washington. I have to assume it moves some money somewhere, traceable or not.

The criminally insane are running America. This included the entire Washington establishment. America is in real trouble and will probably never be restored.

Not at all possible that Trump didn't know anything about Chicago and about UIC (IIRC it's bordered on 2 sides by ghettos and on one side by the Dan Ryan Expressway) since Trump International Hotel and Tower is the second-tallest building in Chicago. And his name is on it in 20 foot letters.

I'm not sure I understand how Trump will use this to his advantage, but I'm almost certain that he will. The suggestion that Trump was somehow snookered is either delusional or wishful thinking.

Better title might be, "How black, Latino and Muslim college students organized to provide Trump's campaign with an endless supply of GOTV material."

Funny how the DISRUPTERS felt unsafe with Trump and his supporters at their school (which I fund thru state taxes BTW), yet I was the one who was ambushed in a mob of thugs...It was organized and they were seething with hate!

Here I am at the rally simply TRYING to LEAVE, and they were pounding on the windows, screaming Racist, and spraying the car with some foam substance

Ah, there’s nothing more satisfying than the delusions of naive young fools - here’s the actual situation:

“How black, Latino and Muslim college students organized to guarantee Trump’s victory in the Illinois primary”

Not only will the Trumpsters be energized by the antics of these jagoffs, but also large numbers of former Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich supporters, put off by the response of those candidates to this outrage, will be switching their primary vote to Trump.

I think you are correct about the money laundry angle .
Old Neil Bush is famous for sleazy money activity and Jeb Cruz and his Goldman Sachs wife are just typical
Third rate sleazy amoral Bush bot DC jackals but frighteningly power hungry . Add Robert Mercer the 6 billion dollar tax cheat to mix .
