Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders in Chicago, all is peaceful. Big surprise there.
The freeloaders of Chicago are worried they might have to actually have to work for their "free" stuff. Why they act like petulant children throwing a temper tantrum.

And while Trump claimed the police told him to cancel, they say they did no such thing.

Here is one attendee's very detailed, fascinatinating account of the rally before it was cancelled: https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/...cago_rally_my/

The author describes him/herself as a legal immigrant (not U.S. citizen) and a person of color. Some of the more interesting bits:

Who were the protesters?
Quote:
The protesters were primarily composed of millennial-aged: white hipsters, African Americans, Hispanics, and Muslims. Some of the protesters were teenagers below voting age.
The tactics they use to agitate:
Quote:
Many of Trump propaganda signs, most commonly depicting him as Adolf Hitler, but others showing him with a small penis, simple signs of text English and Spanish, signs.
Quote:
The protesters flew a big set of American, Mexican, and Puerto Rican flags. There were lots of small American and Mexican flags too. *The Trump supporters mostly fled for safety immediately. You have to understand, they were outnumbered by thousands of protesters.
Quote:
A few people who began standing up and screaming, and were slowly escorted out by police. The police kept leaving the protesters unattended throughout this, taking 4-8 officers to escort protesters out one at a time.
A scary disregard for the First Amendment:
Quote:
Plenty of shouts at Trump protesters that Trump and his supporters are not welcome in Chicago. I challenged one on the first amendment. He said he does not consider himself an American and continued insulting the grizzled old white man he was arguing with.

Top 10 Most Segregated Cities in the US

Then there's this

Map: America's most racist places, according to Google

and since you continually exalt Seattle as being so progressive:

Time to Shed the 'Progressive Mystique' and Confront Racism in Seattle

"By 2011 segregation across Seattle schools was worse than it was in the 1980s, a trend reflected nationally. Then in 2013 Seattle Public Schools fell under federal investigation when it was uncovered that Black students were being suspended more than three times as often as white students beginning in elementary school."

"But it’s not just in education that Seattle sees broad racial disparities. Seattle is a majority white city yet its homeless population, which has grown dramatically, is very disproportionately people of color, particularly Black men."

Sorry but you are either misinformed or being irrational

It's true there is racism everywhere but the levels of racism you see in the deep South cannot be compared to any other place in this country.

I am not only from Miami but I have visited and worked in the south several times. The Deep South not FT Myers. I know Ft Myers very well so it's not like I don't know what I'm talking about. I have been in places in North Florida, MS and AL where the population was over 30% black and there was not a single black person in some workplaces. I have only seen that once in Miami and the responsible person was also a very old white southernern who never hired black people.

It's not that I'm vilifying people that live there. Often are a product of their environment. However it bothers me when people try to pretend the Deep South is like the rest of the country when it comes to race relations. It isn't.

Trump didn't create this. Trump is only pointing out the serious flaws that both parties have created which have led to the demise of our country. But the left and the eGOP fail to realize this. Hence, the rise of Trump.

A country without borders, without immigration enforcement and with massive trade imbalances is just asking for a revolution. Trump is just the messenger. Sorry you don't agree with the message, but it's the truth.

Brilliant move by Trump. We are seeing a true master in the art of political warfare, possibly the greatest in our lifetimes.


1) Trump knew this was the elites next move. With all the recent rhetoric from the media surrounding the "violence" at Trump's rallies, it was a dead give away the elites would try to use it to their advantage and Trump acted on it. He knew he would have to bring the battle to them before they could bring it to him.


2) So Trump took the battle to the left's home city, Chicago; he chose the battlefield perfecting. What better location to catfish Soros and his paid agent provocateurs? Trump knew this would be the best place to suck them in.


3) Soros and the left fell for it; hook line & sinker. They showed up in all their ill-begotten glory.


4) So when they came prepared for battle, Trump is no where to be seen. So the protesters decided to do what they do best; destroy. And in the process they discredited themselves on national TV. They beat up cops, yelled direction-less profanities and hurled insults at Trump supporters.


5) Trump has just extinguished the effectiveness of the elite's protesters and now has definitive proof of his next talking point-The nation is divided and the only way to unite it is to bring back jobs...and he, Trump, is the best man for the job.

You nailed it brother, Trump is like the cat playing with a mouse. Brilliant.

Not only are you giving Trump waaaaayyy too much credit for his political savvy (he could very well be displaying changes in his brain that are symptomic of dementia; he's degenerating badly), but the idea that this incident sets him up as the Great Uniter is absolutely laughable. The man who retweets White supremacists, wants to deport the Mexicans, and ban the Muslims? Bringing us all together? Come on now.

Trump: "See the first group (of protesters), I was nice. Oh, take your time. The second group, I was pretty nice. The third group, I'll be a little more violent."

Trump:"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them. Just knock the hell out of them. I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees."

On Feb. 23, Trump, speaking about a protester, said to a raucous crowd, "I'd like to punch him in the face" before he began reminiscing about the "old days" where guys like that would be "carried out on a stretcher."

I'm actually surprised Trump hasn't been charged with inciting violence yet. Uniter? LOL
