I’ve been saying it for a while now, the mainstream media, alongside the politicians running against Donald Trump on both sides, are creating the conditions in which it would be totally “understandable” if there were an attempt on Trump’s life. Seriously.
1/Make #Trump enemy 2/Make him Hitler (last wk) 3/Blame for violence (this wk) 4/Make him look vulnerable (2day) 5/Someone tries to kill
Think about it. First, they made Donald Trump the enemy of this race, albeit the butt of the jokes. Then the joke got unfunny. Mr. Trump started attracting serious support. And the primary victories came. And the other candidates dropped out. And now we’re down to just four. Three in reality. Subtract Rubio or Kasich at your discretion. Maybe you deduct both. We’re down to two.
Now Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler. Because people raise their hands at his rallies. THEY RAISED THEIR HANDS WHEN ASKED TO. That must make them Nazis. Forget that Mrs. Clinton’s supporters have done the same thing. Forget it. He’s Hitler. Heute America, morgen die Welt!
Today’s incident, involving someone allegedly tied to ISIS, will lead to the following:
More security screenings, before and after, for attendees of Trump rallies. This is a major issue because it will discourage attendees if word gets around as to how difficult it is to get inside any more;
Greater distance between the crowds and Mr. Trump at the rallies. The Secret Service won’t mess around. And it won’t be up to the Trump campaign. What this means in reality is slightly altered optics.
Mr. Trump will be distracted on stage.
Greater lead time between events, and more work for the advance teams.

If Donald Trump had walked into a bar in an Hispanic neighborhood and started yelling that Mexicans are criminals and rapists, as he did in a speech, he would have been punched in the face.
And every fair-minded witness would have agreed that he had been asking for it.
The same outcome would have occurred if Donald Trump had denounced the Pope, not in a speech but in a Catholic neighborhood bar, or attacked Muslims as not being worthy of American citizenship in a Muslim neighborhood. In fact, as an arrogant white billionaire, Donald Trump couldn’t walk down the street in most Black inner-city neighborhoods without being accosted.
So when angry Hispanics, Muslims, Catholics, Blacks, and members of other groups whom Donald Trump has attacked confront him to protest at his rallies, no fair-minded person can disagree that he had it coming.
Of course violence is bad, but so is provoking it by hate speech directed at particular groups, which is Donald Trump’s principal form of expression.
Donald Trump has sown the wind and is now reaping the whirlwind.
Beck,,
wonder what He will say about This
bet he won’t be crying.
A look at political assassinations shows how the perpetrators thought they’d be covered in glory by their actions. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Gavril Princip, etc. all thought they’d be heroes to their causes.
I’d lump every terrorist into that mind-set.
The media, leftists, etc. are laying the groundwork for some kook to do their dirty work, and have been for years now.
Victims of Rape are Always just asking for it, Right???
I don’t call people jerks,,,
Should something untoward happen to Trump, the consequences could be quite, quite serious.
I was telling the wife, last night that Trump should buy air time on the local stations in the cities he is talking in and televise his rallies.
I wish I could disagree with you.
Pretty much the same tactics that were applied to Geirge Wallace, if anyone here is old enough to remember how that turned out.
I am very afraid.
Looks to me like it is Cruz reaping the whirlwind, for promising to show us the “face of God” and acting like the Devil.
But, maybe, as Mormon Beck’s religion thinks that Christ and Satan are brothers.....
Who knows?
This is untrue. Trump was very careful to say, right from the get go that the majority of Hispanics/Mexican are great people, hardworking and he hires many and counts many as friends.
He also said that the illegals that are coming over and have many serious(bad) criminals among them; we don’t know who they are. He referenced some of the crimes that have been committed and the virulent nature of the new gangs. He said we have to be a Nation of laws and we have to know who is here and deport the criminals. There is no hate there just concern for America and Americans of all colors and national origins!
Immediately the soundbites came out like knives, abstracting only a portion of what Trump said to be able to transform his words into an attack weapon. I am tired of the lies the main stream media is telling, I’m tired of the spin doctors and assassinations. I am tired of people repeating the half truths to attempt to control the narrative.
The media is the problem and mischaracterizing Trump as a hate monger is their desparate attempt to resist the rise of the American people who want America to be a Nation again.
I want to respond, but I can’t make out what you’re trying to say.
When you accept that GHWBush tried to murder Reagan, you can begin to appreciate the danger Trump is in. Remember when Jeb! said with an all-knowing smirk that he was going to be the nominee? That smirk said, Stuff happens to people who get in the way of the Bushes—and the Cheap Labor Express.
I was a political junkie in 1980, and followed the whole campaign closely. I can’t recall Reagan’s every mentioning his opponents. He talked about what he would do as President. I think the first time I remember Reagan’s uttering the name “George Bush” was the night he announced Bush as his choice for VP.
Less than a year later, Bush repaid Reagan by trying to murder him.
Trump never said that. So you are a liar. And the rest of your argument collapses.
Not true. GHWB tried to murder Reagan, but he NEVER bragged about it.
All his rallies are on YouTube, in full.
Bush tried to murder Reagan ?
Please do tell...
You started out with a lie.
But you knew that, you just have such contempt for other Freepers you thought you’d insult us with it anyway.
I’m looking forward to the day Jim lowers the bar on scum like you.
He’s already started with a number of such scum, and they are gone.
I think you are working on getting on that list too.
There are only 6 corporation that OWN all the primary media and NONE of them seem to be favoring Trump,
You can see what's happening as a result.
