Oh, violence is only relevant if you're affiliated with the Tea Party, or Sarah Palin with her cross hairs set on a political map. Really, hypocrites much?!

I'm voting for Gary Johnson. Does that matter?!

I see some of the videos on Radio talk show hosts Alex Jones Youtube page.Its horrible.Some of these protesters are professionals and get payed for by elites and other organizations and going out and stir up things.Others are just uneducated. It was interesting that Bernie was getting the blame on some of these protests which turned out that Hillary was the blame and behind them as I read from good sources.



There was no problems and arrests here in Connecticut with protesters when Mr Trump was here in April .

I was never a fan of Sarah P then which I think she was one of the reasons why Mr.McCain lost the presidency election years ago with Mr Obama .

One thing I thought I knew about conservatives was their dislike of victims... but Trump seems to me the biggest whiner in a long time; everyone is unfair to him, conspiring, a rigged system, 'Mexicans' out to get him etc. I think most people think "Awwwww, the poor billionaire". I'm really sick of this guy now. He referred to some basketball coach as a "real man", I'll bet that guy never whined a tenth as much in his life!

Bernie whines a lot now too (maybe he thought he saw it working for Trump). They both play the man card using weak vs. strong terms a lot. So "strong" these men (because polls gone to their heads). Wouldn't want some weak woman in charge, no way... unless to change their nappies before they get put to bed for being so darn cranky.

Violence at political rallies is a hallmark of a third world country by the way. It seemed to start with Trump rallies and his provocative blustering in violent suggestion, then spread to that Democratic thing in Nevada... I hope things don't continue to get stupid like this. Nobody is a winner with this kind of race to the bottom.

I blame the extremism on the Democrats.
Keep pushing and pushing and you'll get
an answer like Trump.

People like Sarah Palin (whom is no longer relavant, thank God!), Donald Trump, Fox News, the Tea Party & Rush Limbaugh make me ashamed to be an American.

All three of them are whiners .I agree with that. I dont know alot about Bernie's history though buy I never was a fan of Hillary when she was the first lady of this country.I've known Mr trump since the early 1980's when he was on the Tele' with Robin Leach's Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous show and Entertainment Tonight and the rag mags plus being at his casinos in AC when he owned them.Sorry to say so far he is the only one I believe that he can do the job in office.I will make my mind up in November .There are the third party options too .I do have to agree with Bernie and The Donald about the delegate issues.Something going on there.

Sarah always came through as an airhead to me at the time but I'll trust her over Hillary any day. .It could be one of the reasons why Mr McCain lost to Obama which thats the route I takin' to vote in that election.It looks like Mr Christie is out for VP nods. I used too listen to Rush years ago probably in my van delivery days at the warehouse jobs. I end up stop listening to any talk radio because all of them were annoying.Just recently I started to tune in the Alex Jones show on the WWCR radio shortwave band or online. .I know he goes off the wall on things but he is great .When I first tuned in and thought he was doing a parody show like the Phil Henry Show or a Saturday Night Live skit ..His Youtube channel has the protesters videos which were bad at times .

What about people like Lena Dunham, Cecil Richards, Bernie Sanders, college progressives, black lives matter, violent anti Trump protesters, MSNBC, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, The Guardian, and Salon?

Personally, I don't care for the violent anti-Trump supporters. However, I do not find a single thing wrong with the other people you named. Tell me exactly what is so awful about Cecil Richards? Oh wait, let me take a wild guess, you're a pro-life person (which does not offend me. I respect other people's views.), and believes she is a baby murdering criminal who belongs in jail? Did I get that right?

I could never trust Sarah Palin. That woman gives me a headache everytime she speaks.

(I mean no offence to ANYONE.)

A lot of Trump's support is from decades of this global economy thing, corporations that are beyond nations with their outsourcing to wherever is cheapest (there has even been government restrictions passed making governments have to go with whatever is cheapest). Putting cheap as the bottom line ala Walmart is a race to the bottom. It's too bad that like Ross Perot before him he would simply be unable (like Jimmy Carter before him) to work within the system and be prevented from changing it. Carter used to think he could simply say something as Pres and it would be done. That's how some companies work, but would you want to run a country like a private company? Like a Walmart or Nabisco for example? My goal is balance and the middle, but compromise has become a dirty word for many even though that is basically what governing involves every day. The Clintons were ground zero for bringing the U.S. into the trans national too big to fail globalization scheme, unfortunate that some conservatives, enough, were bought out by that and followed. I rarely understand the personality cult thing for any politicians, from the supposed kennedy allure to all the Gipper stuff. I prefer to 'hire' boring but competent, not necessarily grand visions and promises. Maybe there should be a Boring party?

P.S.: I'm very pro-life but don't fit in because I want government out of that area as much as possible leaving it to the people directly involved within the limits established to make such decisions. I can't begin to imagine how many complications and factors there might be in every situation. I'd probably be making birth control pills available free everywhere no questions asked too, it'd be more than worth it because the numbers of abortions genuinely does bother me. I'll never understand the people who are horrified by abortions but deny the realities of sex that has always been and want to withhold birth control measures in any way. I don't understand the religions with a made- up celibacy thing not in the Bible who think they have the right to tell sexual people how to proceed based on being addressed as the 'fathers' and 'mothers' they will never be. If only the church hadn't wanted land so much and made that rule up for the purpose of acquiring it, they've done so much harm in developing countries and caused exponential additions to the numbers of abortions of desperation and economics.
