They showed up in Chicago.

Wonder if Trump’s seen the movie?

I think I said this here before:
The problem with Trump, but especially his supporters, is that they are like enraged bulls. That makes them very easy to manipulate through provocation.
It’s exactly like the Palestinians and Israelis.

Trump’s rallies will be the only ones attacked because they are the only ones where the left will get a response. If this is attempted at another candidate’s rally, the BLM folks will look like dicks by comparison.

BTW, part of this that irks the shit out of me is the idea that I’m being manipulated by Trump as well. That man doesn’t give a shit about the 1st amendment, but he’s wrapping himself in the constitution, and his supporters are maligning everyone who doesn’t rush to their aid.

They are putting all the rest of us reasonable people into an untenable moral dilemma, and I don’t like it one bit.
The hypocrisy of it stinks, too.

“Somehow or other”?

The somehow is already known and there is no other way. Play the game – it’s the only social cultural/political game there is.

Social activist movement versus social activist movement, head-on competition, throughout the arena.

Activism isn’t the Left’s game. It’s the people’s game that always available to anyone for any cause.

It only looks like the Left’s game when they’re running up the score unmolested on a field that’s been left open by conservatives who restrict themselves to tut-tutting, finger-shaming, and stink-eyeing the Left while blaming the GOP for conservatives’ own neglect.

In fact, the Left is beatable in the activist game, just like any human beings are in any prosaic nuts-and-bolts worldly competition. But they’re only beatable once you compete with them for real.

Now that they’ve lightly scrimmaged for the 1st time versus the varsity Democrat-front Left, will the “jayvee” Left-mimicking Trump-front alt-Right activists up their game? Or, will it turn out that they’re only capable of bullying easy-picking conservatives who mostly defeat themselves in the activist game?

Again, there is only one somehow and there is no other way to compete for real. Collective embrace of Marxist-method activism by conservatives.

Stride into the arena zealously committed as a team to compete head-on with all comers, whether Left or alt-Right, and any one else championing an incompatible social condition.

Like any people, they’re all beatable, but only when you play to win the game.

Geoffrey Britain, Point taken, I was only referring to candidates, but yes, Reagan was shot, and Squeaky, and Sara Jane Moore tried to get Gerry Ford. Again, leftists, and or Lunatics.

I don’t think Hillary will survive the campaign. She has had more than one stroke already, and she has never been in a Presidential campaign where she was the target before, the current primary season being handed to her. Once she gets real stress, I suspect that she will stroke out. Which would probably be the best thing for all concerned, as a Hillary Administration would be Corruption, Inc unleashed to the point that I am not sure the country would survive, at least not in it’s current form. Twelve years of Chicago politics is a lot to ask of a nation.

I have a few facebook friends who are lefties. One of the reasons I like to keep them in my feed is to get a window into what is going through *their* social media.

This was planned from the moment the tickets were released. I saw multiple left-wing sites calling on anti-Trumpers to reserve blocks of tickets so they could disrupt the event. I wouldn’t be surprised if half the tickets went to the rioters.

Reports are that the plan was that dozens of rioters were to position themselves close to the stage, and rush the stage on a predetermined signal to attack the candidate. This would likely have triggered the use of deadly force by the Secret Service to protect Mr. Trump, and a violent riot would have likely followed, with Trump supporters and rioters likely being injured or killed in the arena and on the streets outside.

Cancelling the event was absolutely the right move. The American people, and especially the people of Chicago, need to respond to what just happened. The proper venue for that response is in the polling place on Tuesday. For better or for worse.
