Those people must be getting paid to protest! No way they would be there to voice their disagreement towards the intolerance of a racist bigot.

At this point all I care about is Trump not getting elected. If that means I have to hold my nose and vote for Hillary, so be it. I liked Lincoln Chaffey, Jim Webb, Kasich, and even Rubio. Never in a million years would I want the creature with the tiny hands and orange face to make any decision that affects me.

I was traveling south on I-45 near Allen Parkway when the convoy was coming north. All northbound lanes brought to a standstill to let him on. That jam escalated faster than a Mexico soccer defeat!


I still don't see why a businessman playing at politics can (temporarily) close an interstate...

Interesting... I just did a search and found a really weird story on what looked like an abc news website about a guy who said he was paid to protest at a Donald Trump event. The story was strange, the website was strange, the other links were strange... I looked deeper and found that it's a FAKE ABC news webpage.

In real news, actors WERE actually paid to show up at the Trump event at which he announced his candidacy.

Fake site:
http://abcnews.com.co/donald-trump-p...id-to-protest/

Real ABC site:
ABC News: Breaking News & Latest Headlines

Snopes, on Trump protesters:
