The US is a democratic country, and Trump and his clan should have the right to gather and campaign without fear and prejudices. If protestors want to voice their concern, they can protest al they want, but if they decide to do it inside Trump campaign rallies; they are looking and getting exactly what they're looking for. Trump's people are US citizens and have the right to choose their candidates.
That is true.

Most of Trumps protestors are unhappy with his vow to send illegals back and of course build the wall. These protests won't deter people who want to see and hear Trump in person, even if they haven't made their decision yet as to who to support.

I think the protestors are wasting their time and indeed are helping Trump with more free advertising..........

As the Trump revolution spreads, his enemies are desperately seeking ways to stop the Donald’s Juggernaut. Cries go to the heavens, “save the Republican Party before Trump wrecks it.”

As a life-long (but now fallen away) Republican, I say “good riddance”. More power to Trump to blast apart this deeply corrupt, cynical party steeped in political payoffs and religious fanaticism, and run by former used car dealers from Pocatello.

Many moons ago, I even began a run for Congress from my native New York City but was horrified to see the creatures that scuttled below the city’s political rocks. A senior party official who was also a prison guard advised me: “son, only two types of people go into politics. Those with no money like me; and those from rich families who do it for their egos.”

The Clintons are a perfect example of the former, two local Arkansas politicians who made millions by peddling influence. Trump fits the second category. He is a rough, tough, uncultured but wealthy New Yorker whose family there dates from the 1880’s when the city was the third largest German city in the world after Berlin and Hamburg.

Readers keep asking me what I think of Trump. My view: he is the worst of the candidates – except all the others.

Trump’s vows to expel 11 million illegal aliens is likely unworkable; his Great Wall on the Mexican border sounds like Pharaonic madness – except that all of its critics have no problem with Israel walling itself off from the Arab world.

But Trump is right on target when he calls for an even-handed approach to resolving the Arab-Israeli struggle. By daring to utter the term “even-handed,” Trump sent the US Israel lobby into a fury, touching the third rail of US politics. Compare Trump’s sensible Mideast position to that of Rubio, Cruz, Kasich and Clinton who got on their knees to pledge allegiance to Israel.

After investing tens of millions in buying up the US Congress and influencing media, the pro-Israel neocon war party now sees its huge investment jeopardized and its power under attack. If Trump has his way, US Mideast policy will be written in Washington, not Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Billions of overt and secret US aid to Israel could be jeopardized.

Right on cue, several dozen Republican foreign policy ‘experts,’ many from the Bush era, blasted Trump as ‘unfit’ to be president. These were the same idiots who championed the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the greatest foreign policy disaster in modern US history.

Following the warnings of that great German-American, Dwight Eisenhower, Trump says he intends to end the current foolish confrontation with Russia that was engineered by the neocons and arms industry and deal with Russia as an equal. No more imperial foreign wars. The military industrial complex and the war party are up in arms.

Trump’s third target is Wall Street, and rightly so. New York’s bankers and financiers have bought Congress. Now, Trump questions the shameful tax break that Wall Street got its yes-men in Congress to write. The bankers want Trump’s head. He’s a class traitor, they moan.

Trump’s threats to undo trade deals and manufacturing displacement are music to the working classes’ ears. This writer, a former businessman, has always held executives who throw tens of thousands out of work and move manufacturing abroad to be knaves and even criminals.

What has he done that is stupid ?

The list is almost too long to complete in a single reply, but let's try a few.
1. Alienating major voting blocs such as Hispanics, Women, Jews, Blacks, etc.
2. Promoting an economic platform that can't possibly work
3. Failing to deny support from hate groups like the KKK
4. Encouraging Hitler style rallies
5.. Praising thugs like Putin
6. And far too many lies and contradictions to list here.

Geez Bar! They got to you good haven't they?!

It is the liberal activists who are running around like Nazi Brown shirts and dressing as the KKK. Open your eyes.

Now do tell....

Who are the racist Latino and Women Haters? Liberals that is who...

Donal Trump is a hypocrite, a compulsive liar, an egomaniac and an authoritarian micromanaging prick, everyone who lives in New York City knows this. He inherited most of his money and in the annals of New York City real estate, he is considered tier 3.

That being said he serves a great purpose, first one being he is exposing Republican extremism within their own party. Second, Winnie the Pooh can run for President on the Democratic end and will win by a landslide. Third, If he keeps up the rhetoric, come November the Republicans will also get bitch slapped in Congress.

Go Trump!

Think of the fun he would have missed out on by not doing most of the leg work himself or the inside information that he is privy to about how things actually work.

I read that if he had invested what he inherited in a S&P 500 index fund, he'd have more now than what Forbes estimates he has.

Yes I read that too. He could have made a few more billion than he made.

Don't have the source on that, so I can't vouch for it, but there you go. Don't think it matters much anyhow.

I knew the answer. His Dad's net worth wasn't even worth a pittance to what Donald Trump's net worth is today.

Time value of money and all that. Like I said, I don't know. And I don't care enough to track it down. I don't consider having a big ol' pile of money to be relevant to being President.

Well my point is if Trump inheriting most of his money from his father is completely false. What other falsities are being spread about him? I'd say a lot.

Kinda comes with the territory when you run for President. Remember Fox back in 2008 saying a fist bump was a terrorist gesture?

Apparently it works well. Just get out there and smear. Many will believe whatever they are fed.

Don't remember that.

On another note...

I do remember DancingLoon saying that seeing the little boys (who later became the Taliban) in the Pakistan Madrases holding up peace signs (During the Soviet-Afghan War) were so cute that she wanted to hug each and every one of them.
