Burlingame, California (CNN) — Hundreds of demonstrators descended on the California Republican Convention Friday to protest Donald Trump ahead of his speech there.

Protesters -- some of whom wore bandanas over their faces and carried Mexican flags -- blocked off the road in front of the Hyatt Regency here, forcing the GOP front-runner's motorcade to pull over along a concrete median outside the hotel's back entrance. Trump and his entourage got out and walked into the building.

At one point, about two dozen protesters tried to rush barriers near the hotel. Police officers then rushed to the building's doors, successfully blocking the protesters from getting in.

Several physical altercations, including shoving, could be seen between protesters and police officers, who were using batons to push them back.

After Trump arrived, protesters took down a barrier and flooded the entrance outside the hotel, where police again blocked them from entering. They chanted, "Get him out."

I’m thinking I should buy stock in the largest pacifier maker. These protesting leftist scum are going to need a lot of them after Trump wins.

Marxists and Illegal Aliens would be a more accurate description, but hey it is CNN.

Unfortunately, mental facilities no longer exist for the protesters due to Reagan supposedly freeing the ‘loonies’ after Pat Brown had already greased the skids.. But sadly, the madness has just moved on,, to the streets of San Fran and the institutions called state universities and colleges and tenured nutcases.

CNN are idiots. They stopped broadcasting Trump’s speech and went right back to their coverage of the protestors. Keep adding wood to the fire, Media.

"more reasons - trump"

Yup. It makes regular people mad to see those little Mexican flag-waving anarchists and paid protestors who like to bust things.

Oh, and Code Pink surfaced. Wonder where they have been the last 7 years?

Where were the Secret Service with their guns?

Sounds to me like a group of foreign invaders threatening the safety of a US politician. If this is not justification for lethal force, exactly what is?

I thought it was only the TEA party that was violent.

Liberals are all for free speech as long as you’re saying something they agree with. If not, they turn violent.

This tells me Trump is the right person. One could base their vote on how mad the left is...like a scale. The madder they are, the more one could infer the better the candidate is for the country.
