I believe Trump when he says we're going to have borders again. If Trump were a liberal in disguise, he wouldn't be facing such violent opposition from the left.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

No one here is arguing against borders. The Republican Party created Trump. No one here is condoning violence. "Maybe the protesters should be roughed up" Donald J. Trump

Trump is going to be the first candidate in many years who is willing to enforce the border. You almost have to go back to Eisenhower to find a politician who was willing to enforce the border.

Trump lied about that.
The fact was that the protesters would have come in to the meeting, started throwing punches and possibly worse. When the police or any Trump supporter hits back, then it's Trump and his supporters to blame for the violence.

What if a bunch of rednecks were to do the same thing at a Bernie Sanders rally? Just considering the way it would be covered in the press, prosecuted in court, etc. should be evidence enough of the huge double standard here.

Trump has kind of left it up to his supporters to carry on the fight, knowing that if we don't, our rights will continue to be eroded away. I'm not sure we have the power to really stop it at this point. We should have been fighting and using this kind of rhetoric a long time ago. While Trump's support is refreshing. It looks like too little too late.
What total nonsense!
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/272760-police-say-they-didnt-advise-trump-to-cancel-rally-ap

A Chicago Police Department spokesman told The Associated Press that the police did not suggest Donald Trump cancel his Friday night rally, contrary to what Trump has said in interviews.

CPD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told the AP that the department did not recommend Trump call off the event and said they had sufficent manpower to cover the rally. Guglielmi said that the decision to shut down the event was made "independently" by the Trump campaign.

That runs contrary to what Trump has said in interviews since massive protests engulfed his event and supporters clashed with demonstrators after the cancellation announcement.
The Universe is stranger than we can imagine.

Brietbart is so much in the tank for Trump that ajax's favorite writer Ben Shapiro is quitting Brietbart because the organization refused to support one of their other "journalists" who was assaulted by a Trump staffer.

Michelle Fields, Ben Shapiro Resign From Breitbart

According to Shapiro, "In my opinion, Steve Bannon is a bully, and has sold out Andrew’s mission in order to back another bully, Donald Trump; he has shaped the company into Trump’s personal Pravda, to the extent that he abandoned and undercut his own reporter, Breitbart News’ Michelle Fields, in order to protect Trump’s bully campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who allegedly assaulted Michelle.”

I endorse what's in the best interest of American workers. It looks like Trump is going to be the nominee. I see this election as a great opportunity for every taxpaying American and also for those unemployed and underemployed Americans actually looking for a job. If you're not among that group of people, I wouldn't advise voting for Trump.

Some Schmo wrote:There are only two possibilities for you, ajax:

- moron

This last post has both.

Self pity for persecution because you can't openly be a bigot... you're a moron troll.

whereas you merely sought to fulfill only one of those possibilities:

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion,[3] often for their own amusement.

If you're not upsetting idiots, you might be an idiot. - Ted Nugent

Thomas Dimassimo rushed the stage trying to kill or wound Donald Trump. He has since been released on bail. Imagine if a Tea Party supporter charged the stage trying to kill or maim Hillary Clinton. The disparity in legal consequences is unbelievable. CNN is trying play up Dimassimo as a hero, after interviewing the criminal shortly after he was released from jail. What will the legal consequences be for Dimassimo? Probably nothing, because justice is determined by which side of the political aisle you find yourself in this country and currently Dimassimo is on the same side as the party who appoints the attorney general.

I pay taxes. So do the undocumented immigrants. The undocumented immigrants have virtual no effect on the unemployed and underemployed. Again I pay taxes including Federal Income Tax. My skill set was that unemployment and underemployment was never factor.
