Bloomberg’s Heilemann Predicts Violence in Streets at RNC Would Hurt Trump’s Chances
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/13/2016 6:12:07 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

John Heilemann, co-host of Bloomberg TV’s With All Due Respect, surely leans left, but is generally a savvy political analyst in my book. But Heilemann went haywire with his prediction today. He suggested that violence in the streets of Cleveland would hurt Donald Trump’s chances of being elected president.

Really? If there are, as Heilemann said,”images of chaos and disorder” in the streets, wouldn’t Americans tend to turn to Trump, who has cast himself as “the law and order candidate?” And violent anti-Trump protesters, whether or not they expressly say so, would be in essence urging people to support Hillary, not Trump. Are Americans likely to reward Hillary for the violent actions of her, at the very least, tacit supporters? Just as Trump’s numbers went up when unruly protests shut down his rally in Chicago during the primaries, violence at the RNC would likely benefit Trump, in this Insurrectionist’s opinion.

Spin on John. Wow the left is getting desperate. If there’s violence in the streets everyone knows it will be leftist thugs causing it. I can’t picture Mitt Romney, Bill Kristol and the other upper crust NeverTrumpers out on the streets with chains and clubs causing mayhem.

I fully expect to see white people beat to death on national television by black mobs in Cleveland next week.

Heilemann is a moron and so is Bloomy, who as an Anti-Trumper.

And since the crazies are also going to protest at the Dem Convention, why wouldn't THAT hurt Hillary worse ?

I remember how the violence at the Democratic Convention in Chicago in 1968 helped elect Hubert Humphrey.

Oh wait...

Actually, it hurt the incumbant party then and it will this time also.

Depends on the circumstances and who initiates.

I frankly doubt the disruptors will be successful at instigating widespread violence. Cleveland has been on a roll, and not just because of the Cavaliers. The Black community has a good spokesman in the quiet but effective no-nonsense mayor, and has been developing a stake in keeping the peace. The outsiders of BLM and Co will be happy to shut down the Shoreway, creating gridlock for the city, but there will be little local support for them.

The story about violence in Cleveland next week will be how little there is.

Heilemann predicts violence in Cleveland streets during GOP convention would hurt Trump.

What this fool was doing was issuing an invitation to unpaid rioters to come on out. The ones who are paid will be there for the money.

Doc Martin’s are right wing shoes. Lefties wear Birkenstocks and Nikes- depending on age and melatonin.

Hmmmm. Interesting. The leftists (in the 90’s) hijacked them. Particularly in Britain.

Since I’ll be driving to Midtown Cleveland for work, I sure hope you’re wrong.

The Police are used to large crowds downtown, and often.

And violent anti-Trump protesters, whether or not they expressly say so, would be in essence urging people to support Hillary, not Trump...so violence and Hillary in association would help her and hurt Trump? - I don't think so.....

[Trump’s biker buddies won’t put up with nonsense.]

I hope there are so many of them that BLM and others will have to protest in another town.
