In light of Friday night's fracas in Chicago, Joe Scarborough writes, "America faces a deepening divide that is tearing away at the fabric of this great land."
Joe continues in The Washington Post:
Friday's freak show was as prepackaged as a rerun of "Celebrity Apprentice." The only difference was that Donald Trump delivered his lines on the phone from a hotel room in the Windy City instead of on the set of his made-for-TV boardroom. It was all a scam. Has anyone noticed that Trump's campaign now regularly stages media events designed to eclipse any negative coverage that predictably follows Republican debates? ...
As has been the case throughout the entire 2016 cycle, Trump thrives on the political chaos that he helps create. If it is true that opportunity and chaos are the same word in Mandarin, Trump should stamp that word on a poster and sell it at his next scheduled event. For the Manhattan billionaire, manufactured chaos is just as profitable for his brand as Paris Hilton's

YIKES...but not surprised,
I’ve never seen that photo - do you have date and location?
Battling Axioms;
I wish I had a nickel for every time that bridge was offered for sale.
Scarborough and his side kick Nika both have no class. Scarborough really thinks he is relevant. He is from
Florida. The timing of his comments are designed to hurt Trumps chances in the primary. Doubt he will have any effect.
JS never met a back in he didn’t like to stab! Nasty man.
Moveon.org, Black Lives Matter and many other groups planned and coordinated the activity.
If people think Trump, with his tiny staff and low budget campaign, was able to organize these groups and coordinate these groups, then Trump is a million times smarter and more capable than even his supporters realize.
What does it tell you that people honestly think Trump is devious enough to do that? The only other candidate in either party of whom this would even be suggested is Hillary Clinton.
Indeed
Soros owns all our Media and Politicians Democrats and Republicans. Trump is upsetting his evil empire.
Okay, I have some soon to be beach front property in western Nevada? :>)
You forgot Answer (AnswerChicago, for example had preprinted signs ready to go for the event) in your list...
Joe got the message when MSNBC fired Melissa Harris-Perry. I still think their show goes off the air shortly after the next President is sworn in. They're backing the wrong horse, i.e. Sanders. They've been trying to make up with Hillary, but we know she holds grudges.
Mass hysteria ahead of the big vote tomorrow. Trying to bully & scare people into not voting Trump. They’ll all try to walk this back later but you can’t unring these bells.
The general election has officially begun. When the Move On disruption didn’t quite get the effect they were looking for (to make Trump look as if he was inciting violence) then they try to make the case it was all staged by Trump. Sorry but those images in Chicago are still in everyone’s eyes nd minds and we won’t forget them and Joe Scarborough can’t diminish them.
I think you underestimate Trumps ability to organize events.
Reportedly he put together a fundraiser for wounded troops in 24 hours.
I would also present for thought he has had a small army of marketing, event planning, and other people on staff for some time. He knows who to call or who to have call who needs to be called.
He is also in a position to call in or grant favors to people who work with him.
His resources are far more formidable than if he was just some low-budget fellow with no connections.
AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE THAT AT NO TIME DID I SAY THAT TRUMP HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE EVENTS IN CHICAGO EXCEPT BE THE APPARENT FOCUS OF COMMUNIST GROUPS BENT ON DISRUPTION.
Thanks for those links. I remember the protests, but was too young and silly to care about Reagan’s handling of them. Trump has a predecessor worthy of following. I wonder which side Cruz would take, would he accuse Reagan of creating the environment for protestors?
Trump again being blamed for having to put up with the actions of a frantic left and Uniparty.
Blaming the victim.

Ole Joe is a lefty who pretends to be a Republican or Independent. Don’t watch his show.
