Boy did she nail it when she said that if, as the antiTrump put it, "words have consequences", (meaning, because of words that he said, that means violence is okay), a guy beats his wife, he can use that defense as well....that her words have consequences, too...at least, that's the logic of the antiTrump people.
I'd LOVE to hear them argue their way out of that one. I'm sure they will try, and it will show just how idiotic they truly are.
Let's make this very clear to the antiTrump who condone this violence, (and you condone it when you excuse it):
You do not have the right to get violent just because someone says something that you don't like.
We have now seen that the violent people are NOT Trump supporters, they are Bernie supporters.
The silent majority is just a name for a % of the US population.
My apologies. For while there, I assumed the words "silent majority" would be used to indicate a majority. Specifically, one that was silent. So - neither?
"The silent majority will not be silenced"??? That makes no bloody sense.
It's a metaphor for people who have become complacent, in this case I believe, at the voting booth(or voting card). "Silence" ends when a large % or a majority of people start waking up to something they were largely inactive about in various ways. In this case, I believe it's finally realizing the true nature of politics, how self-serving it is, and how inept those are that have been running our country into the ground for a long time now.
There's your "sense".

I also wonder if perhaps more than a few of these "protestors" are acting up because they realize they might have to work a job to earn a living if certain people get elected? I can see that scaring a few people who think work is a four letter word and if things like "free" college don't come to pass.

I'm not quite getting that either. How can any population that Trump is involved with be considered 'silent', or a majority???
Honestly think she lost this game of marbles, but I guess if she is 'hot' she must be right???

We don't like supporting illegal aliens with our tax dollars. We want them deported and prevented from re-entering the U.S., to be allowed to return only when they are ready to do so through the legal channels. We are silent, lest we be called xenophobes and racists.
We don't like the influx of Syrian refugees, who we also have to support with our tax dollars, or the influx of unvetted Muslims with no guarantee they won't attack us from within. We are silent, lest we be called xenophobes, racists, and Islamaphobes.
We don't like the PC hypocritical double standard nonsense denying us the right to say anything the liberals disagree with, or listen to anyone who says anything they don't agree with. We don't want them using our right to free speech as an excuse to promote violence at our political rallies or use the IRS as a weapon of revenge.
We seeth in silence, but will be heard loudly when we go to the polls. I wouldn't call us a majority, but there are many more of us than you think.

So it all boils down to immigration, not income inequality, not education, not the fact that banksters and the elite blew up our economy and no one was punished, not the never ending war in the middle east and the thousands of our own who have served and died or been wounded to be faced with the bureaucratic nightmare that we call the VA?
I agree it wasn't a good idea to say he would pay legal fees. However, he said he would pay the legal fees of someone that was stopping anyone that was throwing tomatoes. Throwing something isn't protesting, it is assault.
Nothing Trump has said even remotely justifies the constant disruptions at the rallies, and violence we are seeing from the anti-Trump protesters.
Everyone can expect some protests but this is getting very violent, I wouldn't dismiss Trumps actions as his rhetoric has been quite different than others.
