Somehow that's okay, but non-presidential candidates waving a Mexican flag? That's baaaad news for the Dems.
Agreed. It DOES make me "sick" that many people seem to ID as "others" than Americans, I'm talking US citizens here. Illegal aliens of ANY "race" don't count; they just need to be cuffed and stuffed on sight then deported. Period.
Trump is in one of the most extreme liberal places in America, these protests don't surprise me at all. I don't get the Mexican flags, but whatever floats their boat.
Here's a electoral college projection from Larry Sabato, one of the premier political scientists on electoral politics, and Trump is an underdog in the EC count - which was a pretty much a given.
Scuffles at Trump rallies aren't necessarily going to change that equation much, and not in Trump's favor. No matter what the nativist nabobs would like to think. His misogynistic swipes at Clinton are probably going to drive up turnout from female voters.
Exactly. They weren't going to vote for Hillary in the first place.
It may galvanize some of the Cruz and Kasich supporters who realize that their candidates have no chance. I doubt these violent protesters are ONLY pissing off Trump republicans. Most republicans, no matter who their candidate is, don't like seeing violent ultra liberal and illegal alien protesters. They may vote for Trump to make a point against the protesters, rather than just throwing their votes away on candidates that can't win.
But yes, anyone voting for Hillary probably identifies with the protesters so it's not going to help in that respect.

Events like this really put the anti-Trump folks on the spot. Reflexively, they have to condemn Trump but by doing so now would mean they are siding with rioters. That's why Rich Lowry, the leader of the Trump haters, had to come to the defense of Trump tonight and even gave him credit for bringing up illegal immigration at the ground zero of illegal immigration.
It's not going to make a darned bit of difference in the race, either statewide or nationally.
Look, folks have pretty much made up their minds about Trump and Clinton. Your attitude isn't going to change the nature of the race as much as you would like it to be.
This part of your post is true. What your post leaves out is the silent majority in this country. How many of these shenanigans will it take to mobilize those folks into the anti-illegal wave. The D/RNC are certainly not doing anything to stop it and the amnesty folks are helping perpetuate it ... so I think the difference will not be with those who have already opinionated themselves, but those who will form opinions strong enough to motivate them to action.

I haven't voted in the last few elections, because I have not liked either the Dem or Rep candidates. But I will vote for Trump this time and I'm in CA.
My sister's husband is Mexican, (for the reading comprehension impaired: that means his ancestry is Mexican, but he's an American.) His entire family, obviously, is Mexican. That family has a lot of Mexican friends. We live in a "working class" neighborhood where here, in this state, that's a lot of Mexicans.
LEGAL.
Americans of Mexican descent, or just plain old LEGAL Mexicans.
They keep to themselves, just as I like neighbors to do...keep to your own business...but when I'm out walking my dog, sometimes they will be out after work, their music playing, (God I hate that music...but I despise country music equally), and they will say a few words.
Not a damn one of these people, BILs family and friends included, will vote for Hillary. Not a one of them. Many of them are Trump supporters. Some of them I don't know who they will choose, but I do know, they hate Hillary.
