The question has been asked, would the conservatives have reacted like the liberals have if HRC had won instead of Trump.
The answer can clearly be seen in the conservatives response to the 2008 and 2012 elections of Obama, both of which equally distressed many Republicans. There was no marching, violence and school walkouts then.
But, as we see, there is an expectation of a different set of rules for the 'liberal elites' - than for everyone else. This is probably a big part of the reason Trump won! -
- People are sick and tired of the elitism (and corruption) of the past 8-years! The media still doesn't get it ... as they yammer on about white, uneducated voters. There is such a sense of arrogance and entitlement among the liberal elites, they are blinded by mindless ideology to what is right in front of them (and now in the white house, Congress and the Senate).

Oh please. They were threatening to assassinate her. Remember that fat lady at the Pence speech? She just "would not allow it to happen".
I still find it interesting and rather intriguing that all those protesters are in big cities, where there is strict gun control and drivers seem to be afraid of pedestrians.
Such mobs are rarely seen in Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho, etc.
Perhaps it is because they would not get the publicity in Billings that they do in San Francisco or New York City.
Perhaps it is because they are smart enough to realize that if they try to block the roadway in front of a bunch of redneck farmers and ranchers, the drivers just might not stop for them; they will have to move or get run over.
Perhaps they realize that it would be really dumb to throw a molotov cocktail in a state where it is likely that the person you are throwing it at just might be carrying a weapon, and just might believe his life is in danger due to your actions, which could result in deadly force being used in response!
IMO, they should be closely watched, and if any of them breaks any law whatsoever, arrest them. If they are parading through town without a parade permit (where such permits are required), arrest them all. If one of them spits on the sidewalk (where such spitting is not allowed), arrest him.
Peaceful, lawful protests? Leave them alone. Preferably, the media should just ignore them. They really are not all that newsworthy.

Just a couple of days ago a CEO made repeated threats that he would shoot Trump.
