What has he said that is hateful and divisive? Or are you simply parroting the far left media who wants to take down Trump?

<Staff Edit> her supporters only turned on the camera AFTER her prevocational tactics. She then wants to act like a victim.

I went to a Trump rally and there were many blacks there and NO ONE was treated with disrespect.

You also don't seem to realize that these are all RECENT, and that these altercations could be the work of people looking to take down Trump by claiming that his supporters are violent, all the while they're plants in the crowd. They could be playing the side of Trump supporter and protesters. After all, just last week there was a secret meeting at Sea Island, Georgia, in which discussed were said to be tactics of how to take down Trump.

Thousands upon thousands of supporters, and you want to focus in on three people, of whom were likely provoked. Blaming the true victims like a full on ungodly left wing demagogue.

It seems at this point like both sides at these Trump rallies are just intentionally pushing buttons to elicit a physical response from the other side, then when that happens, they cry "Oh, you see, that's a violent group!"

The political climate has turned into being like an 8 year old and a 10 year old in the back seat on a long car trip...

The 8 year old sticks his finger 1 inch from the 10 year olds face and says "but I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you"...and then when the 10 year old swats them, they scream "Mom!!!! they hit me and I wasn't doing anything to them!"

When you live by the sword you die by the sword. Trump has repeatedly promoted violence and intolerance, and urged his followers use violence against protesters. When one spews such violent rhetoric, it's not surprising that people are going to take offense and react. I do not under any circumstances support violence or illegal activity, however I am not surprised this happened.

Additionally, most people were either going home or peacefully protesting. Only a handful were arrested, blocking traffic or fighting. Those who were being violent or attacking cops though deserved to be arrested and I'm glad they were.

You don't understand the context. People were at his events using VIOLENCE, and he spoke out against those violent protestors. If someone is trying to hurt people, do you tell people to stand down, when failure to do so could hurt others?

You have very LITTLE INFORMATION. You think that you know, but you're parroting left wing, ungodly comments from left wing ungodly people.

Additionally, most people were either going home or peacefully protesting. Only a handful were arrested, blocking traffic or fighting. Those who were being violent or attacking cops though deserved to be arrested and I'm glad they were.

The ones inside the venue weren't peacefully protesting. They were shouting obscenities, flipping off the crowd, starting fights, etc. You support these protesters? Really?

Let's not do the fake "both sides" argument. The hatred and anger being stoked is not from a side, it's from one person, Donald Trump. This is like the abortion protesters saying, "If someone were to kill abortion doctors, well, you know they had it coming to them, they're murderers committing genocide." After one their followers murders a doctor, "Oh, we didn't say to actually kill them, just that they deserve to be killed."

When your rhetoric is about beating people up, putting people on stretchers, paying for legal bills if someone is charged with a crime, let's can the "both sides" garbage. This is not happening at anyone else's political rallies, Democratic or Republican.

I very rarely agree with Ted Cruz about anything, but I agree with his observation that the only candidate who has a problem with violence at his rallies is Donald Trump. Protesters (or anyone else) don't get beat up at anyone else's rallies. Trump is the only one that encourages violence and then eggs his supporters on when they are beating a protester up.

Can you not see that Trump has more people at his rallies, and therefore more attention is being put on them from people, good and bad, the latter being the black lives matter, move-on.org, radical communist types. They're provoking with the intent to inflame, and then claim victim.

That you can't see the obvious is strange.

He wants to take on ISIS but is afraid of some protesters in Chicago.

The real question is why has Trump not been arrested? Is deliberately inciting, indeed it could be argued ordering criminal assault not illegal in the US?

I think he's getting very close to the edge here, but until one of his 'orders' clearly results in injury nothing is likely to happen.

What has he incited? You're hearing talking heads claiming such, but it is nothing but lies when the facts of what is going on is seen. Think!

People don't get "arrested" for making comments like that here in America.

So ordering a hit is just an exercise in free speech?

Are you saying Trump didn't say this: “Knock the crap out of him, would you? Seriously, OK, just knock the hell. I promise you I will pay for the legal fees, I promise, I promise,”

Because that is clearly an incitement to violence.

Everyone agrees you have the right to protest. But do you have the right to enter an auditorium rented by a candidate and disrupt it to the point they can not deliver their message? I'm guessing no because they seem to remove protesters promptly. Surely this has been litigated.

Oh, let's see. There was his statement when he declared his candidacy where he called Mexicans rapists and said he would build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. Then there are his statements about not letting any Muslims into the country.

“Did you read about Starbucks? No more 'Merry Christmas' at Starbucks. No more. Maybe we should boycott Starbucks."

Of Carly Fiorina:
“Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?"

In regards to Asians:

“When these people walk in the room, they don’t say, ‘Oh, hello! How’s the weather? It’s so beautiful outside. Isn’t it lovely? How are the Yankees doing? Oh they’re doing wonderful. Great.’ [Asians] say, ‘We want deal!’”

In regards to Megan Kelly:

“You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her… wherever.”

In regards to John McCain:

“He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

Nothing divisive there . . .

Thanks, that covers about 5% of it.

Trump’s son added to incriminations and confusion when he tweeted and then deleted a false allegation that a woman appearing to give a Nazi salute, photographed on Friday night with a Trump T-shirt on, was in fact a planted Sanders supporter.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...mp-cleveland-blames-democrats-violent-clashes

there is no solid evidences emerges so far that those were Bernie supporters (as far as I can see)

Donald Trump appears to be liar who is willing to win at cost

Yeah, Ok, right...

Did you catch the quote "If you do not listen to her, your event will be shut down right now!"

Sounds, and it looked, like a clear threat of violence to me.

Of course it is. However Sanders simply rolls over and dies every time a protester runs up to steal his microphone, while Shrillary delivers her smile laced with the disdain of arrogant condescension and calls the cops:

WATCH: Clinton Throws Out Black Lives Matter Activists During Speech On Race

"Today, #BlackLivesMatter protesters interrupted a Hillary Clinton event in Atlanta addressing race, protesting her support of the death penalty. The protesters were promptly removed from the facility.

While Clinton spoke at a campaign event at Clark Atlanta University, a group of protesters began marching across the floor, singing and clapping. While the protesters were singing, the pro-Hillary crowd attempted to shout them down, chanting, “Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!” The former Secretary of State tried unsuccessfully to silence the protesters, who say she hasn’t been vocal enough in her opposition to police brutality."

"After the protesters were shouted down, police removed them from the event."

Source: http://usuncut.com/black-lives-matt...hrows-out-black-lives-matter-activists-video/

What would you have Trump do? Let some college kid barely utilizing half his brain come up and start spouting off about the ruthless murder of Michael Brown, as did the BLM activist in the Sanders video? Meekly step aside as Sanders did while his campaign rally is subverted? Or perhaps just laugh at the protesters as Clinton did. I am sure that would win him many points.

Trump was right, this incident was a planned attack against his rally and his supporters. College kids combined with professional agitators have done this before, and will continue to do so until someone stands up to them.

Unlike you I don't view spineless cowardice as a proper Presidential attribute. I have stated before Sanders would never be allowed to win the Democrat nomination, and after watching that video I know my prediction is one-hundred percent accurate. The guy is a joke, and a gutless one at that. You may not like what he stands for, but at least Trump is willing to stand for something.

By the use of hateful and divisive messages, no doubt.

in a civil society, you don't take law into your own hands

Hillary did the right thing, having them removed by the police, problem solved

I have not seen sneering part, so I wont comment on that

but the way she handled it was correct

btw you just proved OP wrong when he said Sanders supporters would react the same

it is scary to that it has reached a point where people simply take things into their own hands
