Trump is going to need every union vote he can get. Maybe the unions could start defending the Trump rallies.
I don't see a Cruz or a Trump in this picture.

Friday evening’s Donald Trump rally in Chicago was broken up by a foul-mouthed mob that infiltrated the hall and forced the cancellation of the event to prevent violence and bloodshed.
Brownshirt tactics worked. The mob, triumphant, rejoiced.
And the reaction of Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and John Kasich?
All three Republican rivals blamed – Donald Trump.
With his “dangerous style of leadership,” Trump stokes this anger, mewed Rubio, “This is what happens when a leading presidential candidate goes around feeding into a narrative of bitterness and anger and frustration.”
Rubio implies that if Trump doesn’t tone down his remarks to pacify the rabble, he will be responsible for the violence visited upon him.
Kasich echoed Rubio: “Donald Trump has created a toxic environment (that) has allowed his supporters and those who sometimes seek confrontation to come together in violence.”
But were the thousands of Trump supporters who came out to cheer him that night really looking for a fight? Or were they exercising their right of peaceful assembly?
Cruz charged Trump with “creating an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord,” thus offering absolution to the mob.
Friday night cried out for moral clarity. What we got from Trump’s rivals was moral mush that called to mind JFK’s favorite quote from Dante: The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

It sounds like you noticed something important, exit82. So you can safely say that FoxNews used Bill Ayers as a cameraman at a violent protest that Ayers participated in.
Good followup!
One last thing that needs to be done — a review of the footage on FoxNews.

‘The chyron read Bill Ayres Video at the top of the screen.’
Do you need help double checking it? What program and time? If we need to we can ask for help on a vanity thread.
Being cautious is a virtue, but so is being brave.
People confuse timidity with maturity as often as they confuse courage with childishness.
Now the relevance of Buchanan’s column goes up a couple notches:
Anti-Trump Groups Threaten ‘Largest Civil Disobedience Action of the Century’

That’s code speak for: ‘We’re coming for you.’
If our nation cowers? We’re done.
But we will not cower. And it won’t be all that long before rallies will have greater legal protection. But between now and then?
One or two or more very hot moments. Until the DNC reins in its radical base, it will continue to escalate.
Someone mentioned the history of Governor Scott Walker busting the unions. He went through similar turmoil, but this will be on a much larger scale.
Trump is going to need every union vote he can get. Maybe the unions could start defending the Trump rallies.

Yep - those who claim the unions will make or break this election are hoping for a contested or brokered convention because they would rather be willing victims of the same sort of treachery committed against Mississippi and lose than have an honest winner.
As Cruz appears willing to be Kasich's helpmate in the endeavor to stop trump instead of supporting the will of the People, it looks like Rubio has more class by just getting out of the way. If Cruz wants what the people want, he will end up going all-in for Trump instead of trying to massage his own ego as he decides, "unilaterally" (Kasich and a whole mess of others are helping, but he can make the deciding decision to do the right thing by himself), what the People really want and need.
More Republicans have voted for someone else than have voted for Trump.
However, the majority are siding the the protesters and rioters because they sympathize with the protesters and rioters. The Republican establishment has embraced the ideology of multiculturalism and internationalism, and is ready to bend over backwards to prove that they're just as PC as the Democrats.
Multi-culturalism is an insult to all cultures. In essence it is an attempt to reverse all subsequent development, and return mankind to the equivalent of the bizarre humanist experiment at Babel.
Yet I would not be misunderstood. Yes I am disparaging the mental acumen of the dysrons who support the idea that multi-culturalism is progress. It is not.
Clarity. Thanks.
I don’t know what the whole +1 or whatever thing is trending, but I give you as many pluses as I can for that statement. Thanks for being a patriot my FRiend. Tim.
Your dynamic is flawed.
Many more people have voted for Trump than have for Ted Cruz. :-)
Maybe. But the point of this screwed up process is to nominate a consensus candidate for the win in the general. Trump hasn't gotten a consensus yet. If he is nominated, you better hope he can get all those Democrats he claims he can get.
Please I’m sick of these bogus Trump can’t win in the general against hillary bull crap, going down. Hillary is going down. I dare anyone to dispute this.
I didn't say he couldn't win. I say he is going to need a lot of those Democrats he is quite confident he can get. Am I wrong?
And if that trend continues, Cruz's problems will be over. If the same trend continues for Trump, he'll go to the convention with the first ambivalent plurality since Ford. He win the nomination because...
...ah riots and stuff...
and then he'll face the perfectly odious and irritating, legally imperiled Hillary and her 47%ers on government life support.
I'm just saying that he'll need the other +3% and hope plenty of 47%eers are too darn lazy and misogynistic this time to vote. Just sayin.
Only if you think he can’t get them.
Not my problem.
Trump is more than likely to get 1237 delegates and be awarded the nomination. He will roll over Clinton like a speed bump with probably 25% of the black vote. She is scared to death of him.
