I would have people watching the crowd as they arrived outside in an effort to block attempts at disruption. Maybe that's what Trump did. Identify them, watch them, and if they group together escort them out.
That is EXACTLY what happened. Except it was SCHOOL OFFICIALS and LE that identified them and removed them.

But that story doesn't go viral.

Law enforcement are saying it was the Trump campaign that asked these black students to be removed. Since these black students were silent and doing nothing more than standing together, it makes no sense for them to be removed.

He very well may clean up today, may win the nomination and God forbid may end up our pres. (very unlikely) but he is still a hypocrite. You say some are smart enough to see through the media and I say some are smart enough to see through Trump. All one has to do is see him interviewed even once.
I never claimed Trump was great. There are A LOT of things I do not like about Donald Trump.

However, the more the media and establishment rally against him the more I am willing to give him a chance, as I certainly don't trust Rubio or Cruz and Hillary is laughable as a candidate.

I'm on the fence with Trump. Both Christie's endorsement and Senator Sessions' endorsement have had a positive effect. But my vote won't matter; the candidate will be nominated by the time my state votes.

Lobbyist do not knock on Ted Cruz's door in Washington. Why?

Ted, has never been bought off to compromise the Constitution.
I didn't elect Ted, to go to Washington and make friends with the Washington Cartel.

No, the Right is terrified. They say he is dismantling the Republican Party.

The Left thinks Trump is a joke and that Hillary will mop the floor with him long before November comes.

The rallies are there for him to connect with his supporters. One is not forced to go there. Would you tolerate someone who is heckling and shouting while you are giving a speech. Why should he tolerate it. The protesters have the ultimate weapon - the ballot. They can vote against him and make things matter where it counts.

I hate these hecklers who are there just to get the publicity, knowing very well they will be ejected. And this applies to hecklers in Rubio and Cruz rallies. I will support the actions of Rubio and Cruz if they eject the vociferous demonstrators out, whatever be their color and race.

Don't like the candidates, just stay home.

They've been working on that for a quarter of a century now. But I'm sure they'll find something any day now. If not, it certainly won't be for lack of trying. Twenty-five years of digging is a whole lot of trying for a whole lot of nothing.
