It's not so much the fault of those who put him in office.....I've said this many times...it is the fault of those who re-elected him though when he turned out to be nothing like he claimed to be or nothing like those on the "left" should support.

People are tired of constantly being lied to. Well, based upon Hillary's numbers, there are some that still accept it but's going to cause the rest to get madder and madder.

I suggest people vote for the most honest politician in the race. Sanders.

He comes out of this stronger then ever. Today was a very good day. Some of you with half a brain have already realized this, the rest of you will have your "oh sh*t" moment this coming Tuesday. Thank you for playing...
The protesters who were lined up to harass and verbally assault the people in the cars leaving the parking garage clinched this.

Protest Trump? Fine. Verbally assault others for their opinions? Crossed the line. The protesters are the oppressors.

These same claims were made about those protesting the wars 45 years ago. I was around then but not old enough to understand everything but I can still recall what was said about the protesters. History has shown that the protesters were right and more recent history has shown that our current "leaders" learned nothing from that.

Trump does argue for many of those same failed policies.

That's why we can't allow the anti Trump agitators to win or they'll just use these dirty tricks in the general election.

Whether you like Donald Trump or not is irrelevant. Suppressing his First Amendment rights is dangerous and should be resisted by any and every thoughtful person.

Do what? The only protest that works is voting. I remember the Viet Nam protestors and draft dodgers. I had a husband, 2 brothers and a brother-in-law who fought in the war and the protestors were wrong cowards. I am curious what those failed policies were. The biggest problem in Viet Nam is that we were not there to win. Our soldiers are being treated like that right now. Go over there and give your lives but don't kill or upset anyone. I don't hear Trump saying that. Go over there, take care of it and come home should be the policy.

Well that's because of the illegals. If you had a flood of uneducated poor people using your state as a doormat maybe you'd think differently, Chompy.

Donald Trump has instigated a fight against the Democrat left's political correctness agenda. This is the 'Front' of that battle, a battle that Trump has chosen. Trump's effective opposition to this violent and very dangerous agenda, which is effectively about ending free speech in this country, is actually what these thugs were gathered to oppose.

This is what is on the line. It is a battle that Trump started. It is a battle that we as a nation desperately needed someone to take the lead on. Trump did. Well, as we can all see, this is turning into a real 'battle'. It is really on, because now that this group has succeeded in stopping this Trump rally in Chicago, you know it will not be the last place these tactics are employed by these people.

We have seen this sort of thuggery from these leftist goons on college campuses, the BLM movement protests, the homo-fascists in places like Memories Pizza in Walker, Indiana, and of course in the Ferguson and Baltimore riots. This sort of violence and incivility are now standard tactics used by a variety of segments of the Democrat left.

These people and their outrageous behavior threaten who we are as a nation down to its very foundations, including our first amendment rights to free thought and expression, especially freedom of speech and freedom of religion. They must be stopped.

If Donald Trump wants to realize his most impressive victory yet, he needs to demonstrate he can handle these people, as they are the greatest enemy our nation faces, bar none. If he allows them to handle him, then he is probably in for a fast exit from this race.

I am no Donald Trump fan, but I hope he succeeds here. This issue that he is now confronting is a lot bigger and a lot more important than anything else that is going on in this presidential contest. Good luck, Donald. Regardless of whether you succeed in your quest for the presidency, we desperately need for you to succeed in this.

As I pointed out elsewhere, the protests of 55 years ago and then again 45 years ago did work.

We realize that you can't put all your trust in politicians that lie.

This went as expected. You know you're on the right track when your enemies are a bunch of violent thugs and charlatans. It's unfortunate that a cenrtain sect of the population can't get together for anything except a riot.
