I don't get tv. I'll google I guess.
ok so more protests and pepper spray. Trump obviously thought his early stance towards protesters would make them go away, rather than show up in greater numbers.

Trump predicts 'riots' if he's not nomineeRepublican presidential candidate Donald Trump predicted on Wednesday that there would be "riots" if he does not secure the GOP nomination, given his lead among delegates. "Once the battle is over, once the war is over, I think there really is a natural healing process," Trump said on CNN's "New Day," pointing to his business record. "I've gotten along very well with people." "I think we'll win before getting to the convention. And if we're 20 votes short or if we're 100 short and we're at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400 ... I don't think you can say that we don't get it automatically." "I think you'd have riots," Trump continued. "I'm representing ... many, many millions of people, in many cases first-time voters." Trump predicts 'riots' if he's not nomineeWhat say the Trump supporters here?

ymam.proboards.com/post/2432672/thread:People naturally cling to the known - to the status quo. Pushing society into a different direction almost always requires some loud mouthed people willing to act badly and get arrested in order to get the attention of the rest of society. Look at MLK and the sit ins at the lunch counters or the boycotts of the public transit. Look at the rabble rousing abolitionists trying to abolish slavery. The early union skirmishes for worker's rights and the abolition of child labor. In our recent history, look at how gays had to fight to come out of the closet. Non violent civil disobedience isn't a bad thing - it's sometimes the only way to get the rest of society to pay attention. Once they get that attention - THEN you can start to make changes. I guess "Go for it!", Trump supporters.

Not a Trump supporter, but that sure could become a self fullfilling prophecy since he has been encouraging violence all along.

I'm not a "Trump supporter" so much as a "he's better than the alternatives" person... but... he may be predicting the truth. And not just "because he's advocated violence" or anything like that. If enough voters are told POINT BLANK: "Thanks for voting, but the Republican Party doesn't give a damn about your vote, we'll do what-ever-the-hell we want", people are going to get pissed. And pissed people tend to let it be known in socially unacceptable ways that they are, indeed, pissed.

Trump believes his own lies. A true narcissist. I'm scared of what he's capable of if he feels he's losing. His money and connections can go a long way into illegal activities.

No further than Hillary's... Hillary is also just as much of a narcissist and believer in her own lies as well. Just wanted to point that out.

Don't Trump's comments scare you? Rough up and take out people on stretchers if they don't agree with you. Bomb the shit out of other countries. He likes Putin's method of governing. I'm stopping at that because I'm sure you know many of his atrocious comments against women, Hispanics, blacks, Muslims. I know I've missed a few groups because he hates everyone, but they love him. Trump is a disgrace to this country.

And now we start with the fearmongering... Didnt Trump say there might be riots if the Republican convention ends up being brokered and Trump is not the official party nominee for president? It seems Trump is threatening Republican politicians and others associated with the convention. Does not seem to be fearmongering to me.

Trump did say that. Is there anyone who doesn't believe he creates a violent atmosphere and gains from it? It looks like lemmings following him off a cliff.

I did say Trump is a disgrace to the country. Didn't say I back Clinton. Clinton hasn't been found guilty of anything after 8 or more Congressional hearings. Trump also hasn't been found guilty of anything but refuses to release his tax records. Hmmmmm building casinos, bankruptcies, won't answer real questions at debates or rallies.

It seems Trump is threatening Republican politicians and others associated with the convention. Does not seem to be fearmongering to me. Sounds more like a prediction of likely fact, to me anyway. Doesn't matter WHO the nominee turns out to be. If it's anyone other than the voted-on winner, the people that voted for that "vote winner" will be supremely pissed. As I said a few posts ago:

The Republican party is an organization with rules they make and follow. If you don't get to the convention with the number to win out right then it goes to the floor. There are uncommitted delegates also. Do you think that the Trump followers represent the entire party? Dream on. After the first round everyone will be bargaining like the caucuses to pick the best candidate. The GOP will pick their candidate, not the Trumpies.
Do you really want this man to be president? I know our choices aren't great on either side.

No. Do I think that they represent a guaranteed loss for the party (because if they'd wanted Cruz they would have voted for him) if the party overrides their will? Yes. Do I think the Republican party can survive much more damage to it's stability (damage which WILL be caused if they don't follow the voter's intent)? No.

I agree. The old establishment has to change. The Tea party was an awaking. Trump is an awaking. But I think Trump is a mistake.

W was a disaster and got 8 years. I didn't realize what a great job his father did until years later. We owe a lot to Bush I.

My MIL has been with us for three weeks. A lifelong Democrat. My wife's family are all life long Democrats. Hardcore. We have had MSNBC and CNN on quite a bit, especially all the debates, and voting result nights. I try not to have Fox on too much for her My MIL told me the other day, I do not like Trump. He is mean spirited. She cannot believe how bad the Republican party is trying to deny him the nomination, and how it is unfair to ask contestant's followers to vote for the other guy, to stop Trump. (Like the democrats never did that ) She said, "I hope he wins the nomination. He is a lot of things, but at least he is not afraid to speak his mind and cut out the BS. No, she is still a Democrat and will vote for Clinton, but she wants Trump to be treated equally and if Republican voters want him, they deserve to have him win the nomination. I do not know whether she thinks the Republican party is worse than Trump or not

The lines in the sand seem to be being drawn. RNC member: ‘Political parties choose their nominee, not the general public’Curly Haugland, a Republican National Committee member, says the nomination process is pretty straightforward: The party, not the voters, chooses the nominee. In an appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday morning, Haugland, a North Dakotan and current member of the RNC's Rules Committee, said that any assumption otherwise is misguided. "That's the problem: The media has created the perception that the voters will decide the nomination," he said. He went on: "Political parties choose their nominee, not the general public, contrary to popular belief." Technically, this is true. The nomination is decided by delegates to this summer's convention, not directly by voters. But it's probably not a terribly helpful argument to make at a time when Republican establishment types are openly talking about wresting the GOP nomination from Donald Trump at the convention. Trump has said doing so could lead to "riots." Rest of article here. RNC member: ‘Political parties choose their nominee, not the general public’

Kansas city Missouri was a hot bed of activism last night. I do not know if it will increase Trump's vote, but it sure will not help Cruz's totals. MO was decided by 0.2% not sure how that plays with your statement here.

Trump is a disgrace to this country. No, they don't scare me. I haven't seen trump rough up anybody. I saw the police rough up some people by spraying tear gas at them when they became unruly in their protests, and I saw a person at a Trump rally punch another person. I don't recall if the protestors or the gentlemen who was punched were taken out on stretchers. We bomb the shit out of other countries all the time. Are you opposed to the current bombing the shit out of people that President Obama is doing? A lot of people like Putin's government. The last I saw his popularity rating was at 86%.. about where Bush's were during Iraq. things change.

Maybe voters who always voted Democratic but voted in the Republican primary just so the could vote for Trump, knowing Hillary would win easily against him.
