[The Toll]

Indeed they have. After tonight they have no excuse. If you don’t back the Americans you are the enemy.

[Kenny]

If Trump, his family, or any Trump supporters are harmed it will be 100% on the media and establishment and that includes Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich. They are painting Trump as a racist, bigoted extremist and they know it’s all lies.

As Trump pointed out tonight, the networks looped the violent scenes over and over tonight to make it look as violent and gruesome as possible. Then they all took to the airways with their perfectly coordinated talking points.

Anything that comes from this is squarely on them. Sadly they know that as they are willing accomplices and don’t care

[Freedom56v2]

I have a feeling the car in front of us may have provoked the mob that surrounded us—maybe waving a Trump sign or flipping a couple guys the bird and the 2 guys then blocked that car from moving forward, and then we were blocked and surrounded...not that it justified what protesters were doing!

In the parking garage, there were some cars ahead of ours that were waving signs...running to the ledges and screaming, throwing water on protesters etc...acting like this was a football game rivalry...they were not understanding the hatred of these folks.

If they got stuck behind the garage like I did, I am sure their eyes were opened.

I know, I well remember EXACTLY when Rush was bought.

[Kenny]

Thanks for posting.

[pollyshy]

Maybe the date on the Kasich response is correct - maybe he had advance knowledge and prepared his reaction yesterday. Maybe some of the questions at the debate about the Trump rallies were a set up, knowing this protest was waiting today.

[The Toll]

Of course they all knew. Thus is so blatantly organised its ridiculous not to see it.

[Red Steel]

I think Cruz knows his campaign is over after Tuesday and sees this as a chance to rejoin the GOPe team and Bush and Co. He don’t care much anymore so the mask comes off.

[pollyshy]

Trump and his team will get this under control pretty quickly. I’m thinking they now have people assigned to monitor social media going forward.

[Freedom56v2]

Yes, it was nice up until around 5:00...standing in line to enter at 3:00 was pleasant and calm, in the venue for first couple hours were nice, then the protesters started filling a back area of bleachers...and things started to get ugly.

[1_Rain_Drop]

The debate was the calm before the storm.

[beethoven]

It's good to see there are people out there who understand what is really going on. Sometimes I worry the msm has to much influence.

[pollyshy]

As it turns out, eh? A very well-planned storm!

[beethoven]

I hope Cruz's lack of indignation about the blatant attack on the American way of life and the First Amendment spoils any chance he will ever be re-elected in Texas.

[Drago]

Why would The Donald schedule a rally anywhere near Chicago? Pretty much none of his base lives there...he should have started with Illinois cities like Peoria, Springfield, Normal, Decatur, Champaign, etc.. The closest to Chicago I would have gone is perhaps Rockford, IL.

[conservative98]

Would love to see Trump schedule Dee Snider to play "We're Not Gonna Take It" live tomorrow at the rally or possibly at the RNC Convention if Trump takes it all the way.

Dee was asked about playing it live on the campaign trail and he said we'll see...

Thanks be to God, you got out okay.

I worry tonight’s violence will intimidate people from attending Trump events.

I think, unless they are total mushbrains, more people will vote for Trump after tonight.

Thanks. It was scary for a bit with the car surrounded!

I think it was the perfect storm for a protest...
1. Beautiful weather (unseasonably warm CHicago weather - one of first days.

2. It is on UIC campus—known for international diversity and Bill Ayres?

3. It is Chicago...people protest stuff in Chicago regularly.

4. There are lots of big-name dems who wanted to get in on the protests...like Ayres and Guttierez.

5. Facebook allowed Moveon.org and BLM to organize rallys.

I think there can and will be great manageable rallies in other cities....
