Are you people serious? Nobody is paying anyone to do this.

I've always suspected Trump is paying people to go online and post wonderful comments about him, just as he paid actors to come to his campaign announcement at the Trump Palace as he descended like a god from above (which was actually quite amusing).

The protesters are angry and really sick of Trump's inciting and encouraging hate. Nobody has to be paid to detest Trump--he makes it easy.

Why is this so very difficult for his worshipers to understand? Trump is responsible for lighting this match and fanning the flames.

Paranoia will destroy ya. And in the above posts we see that the psychotic break from reality includes visions that protect the intellect from total dysfunction.

He's not above playing dirty tricks politics. Trump has no moral compass, no place too low for him to go. It's also possible that someone like Cruz supporters used Bernie signs to try to give a black eye to two candidates at once. Bernie would never support or condone this kind of crap but Trump has proven that he does not only condones it but he encourages violence at his events. He can keep denying his part in this all he wants but it's all on video tape. Too bad his fans won't watch the montages.

I agree with Emigma777 above, too. No one has to pay anyone to protest. People are mad and frustrated on all sides.

I'm 100% serious about this. If it's not the GOP working exclusively then maybe the democrats are in it to. But I do know the GOP is getting desperate to get rid and remove Trump. Rubio stumtig for Kasish? Desperation.

I'm not a giant conspiracy theorist but I truly believe this just like I honestly do think someone was on the grassy knoll in Dallas too. Harvey was the main but the knoll had someone as backup who knows/knew something.

Although I'm not a conspiracy nut, the tactic of hiring political thugs to cause violence in order to give out a fake impression is far from new and has been used in previous protests in this nation for decades. Although you are correct in assuming Trump has inflamed some folks lends it more reason to stir the pot and perhaps get away with it. This method has worked all around the world.

They don't have to pay protesters. Just make a call to moveon for the favor. Useful idiots work for free. The media, do I have to go on?

The political game is like a fuse. The dem's light it at one end. The Rep's light it at the other. All along the path to the middle joe sixpack gets burned.

Or it could just be a small selection of dumb people and there is no grand conspiracy. But that would require some common sense thinking.

A thousand times this. I would have gone to the Chicago protest if I hadn't had a work deadline to meet. No one would have had to pay me.

People are finally waking up to the fact that a true fascist is on the brink of winning the nomination in one of our major political parties and it is motivating them to action.

Many of the Trump supporters who are reveling in all of the attention these growing protests are garnering for their candidate should be aware of the possibility that Trump's hate-filled rhetoric may have awakened a sleeping giant in the form of voters who might have previously been apathetic or unenthusiastic about the Democrats two candidates, but no longer are.

Should Trump win the nomination, I suspect there will be as many anti-Trump votes cast for the Democrats in November as there will be actual votes for them.
