The wall nonsense? Thats theater. its ineffective, and will be insanely expensive.
You don't comprehend that not everybody sneaking into this country is an illegal just wanting to work. There are plenty of OTMs coming in that want to harm us. If you think otherwise, you are either very naive or willfully ignorant.

No, the wall is NOT "a foolish idea". Besides, I question anyone's dog in this fight who vigorously opposes building a wall.

Curious how you know they are illegal just because of their brown skin and hanging in front of Home Depot.

Geez, Mick! You also don't get that those same illegals have no problems accessing various welfare programs once they birth an anchor baby. They're not just here to work---they're also here to suck us dry.

Trump's right about one thing: If we continue along the path we're on then we're not going to have a country any longer... at least not the one the overwhelming majority of citizens loves regardless of their political affiliation. This country is being brought to its knees by both the underclass and the upper class as average, hard-working, family-oriented people of all backgrounds get screwed with their pants on simply for trying to do the right thing.

Wake up, man!
This is hilarious. The OP is saying that a couple events is "dozens"! And one of the events cited was when a black Trump supporter punched someone who was in a group dressed like KKK members! The guy was holding a photo of Trump with a Confederate flag on his face.

I will be voting 3rd party this election.

I find it the height of dishonesty that there were all these Trump rallies that weren't violent....once he became a front runner, the other party started sending instigators in to start fights etc. and then blamed the Trump folks for the violence.

George Wallace said the same thing: paid instigators. So did Nixon. It was later revealed that Nixon was right. They were paid - by Nixon himself! No, these are people who are riled up about a candidate they believe is a bigot and is talking hate toward them. Accept that. You don't need to pay them.

Why shouldn't he attack her?

She attacked him.

The ones who wave Mexican flags aren't.

Good point!

Trump supports those things, too.

Didn't you know that?

Oh look-Arizona...
Anti-Trump Protester Punched, Kicked At Tucson Rally

https://www.facebook.com/Oklahomansf...70026853067721

There have been dozens of incidents.
Who cares?

Trump supporters are not invading Bernie and Hillary rallies.

They are not rioting and throwing rocks, bottles and fire bombs at the police.

A few little fisticuffs, and the left cries like babies.

Yes, and they should take their U.S. citizen supporters with them.

Good riddance!

Well said.

Anti-Trump posters even attacked a Trump supporter in a wheelchair.

That's how despicable they are.

There would be no need for welfare if the illegals weren't here.

We could cut off all welfare benefits, and tell the recipients to work or starve.

Exactly.

Time to put an end to the nonsense.
