I think Trump is a disgrace and his supporters are no better, but this is ridiculous. It makes the opposition look weak, having to resort to such desperate measures.

Excellent analogy.

I just shake my head trying to figure out what the true purpose is here. Perhaps it's just some anarchists enjoying their moment in the sun given all forms of logic/reason seem to not register on what the true goal is for such misguided/illogical behavior? Of course the paid protestor element might come into play here to a certain degree, protesting for a livin' kind of thing. Sigh.

This might be getting somewhat off the topic, but it's kind of ironic how the protesters are actually enhancing support for Trump, and giving him more fuel for the fire, so to speak. Protesters of a different kind (NIMBYs) were fighting Trump about 12 years ago when he wanted to build a midrise building on Camelback. Why didn't all those protests give him more power to go forth with his development plans? Instead, he backed down. He should have shouted back at the NIMBY protesters and built the hotel. To hell with the NIMBYs! If people want mountain views, there are many other places for them to have their precious views.

Cool Trump Is making a point.

Despite the protest Americans want action and Clinton is on her way to Jail with Bill. Bernie is a socialist thinks money grows on trees.


The bigger point those who are for open borders and have many liberal views are in fear of Trump actually carrying his platform.


Trump is far from perfect, but he does represents actions to many who want an outsider to clean up the culture of politics.

Besides the fact that blocking the road was illegal, it was potentially dangerous. So not ok.

I like it. I like to see aggressive protestors who aren't afraid. Protesting isn't always an easygoing event. Are they just supposed to stand at the corner with their little cardboard signs, just waiving and smiling at the cars passing by? Please, that isn't protesting.

George Soros has spent his money wisely if people believe Bernie Sanders supporters are behind the shenanigans of recent days. Soros funded the mayhem in Chicago. He has also pumped millions into Hillary PAC's and coffers. Interesting enough, he also has a history with Trump.

Exchange Sanders "supporters" for "immigration activists" in Phoenix. Keep the Trump base agitated and turning out for Trump at the polls and help ensure that Democrats don't want to be associated with the hooliganism of Sanders "supporters" and turn out for Hillary.

What better way to ensure a Hillary victory in November? We're witnessing political theatrics and trickery at it's finest.

They can do what whatever they want protest wise but when law(s) get broken and just as/if not more importantly, deny the rights of others around them in doing so, regardless if they strongly agree/disagree with anything, that's NOT their right or what protesting is about. Exhibit A......"let's block traffic on a state highway, ignoring the rights of those people as their rights mean nothing!". That isn't protesting. That is totalitarian/fascist behavior, let alone illegal behavior.

And it's most ironic the groups who protest this way often label themselves the open, fair minded, and peaceful one's to all different views and rights of others. Based on their actions vs words, the irony is frankly beyond painful.
