30 black students reportedly removed from a Trump rally before it even started

http://www.businessinsider.com/a-group-of-black-students-were-reportedly-removed-from-trump-rally-2016-2

The students told The Register that they were standing quietly in the bleachers, waiting for the rally to begin, when they were asked to leave. US Secret Service reportedly escorted them out before the rally began.

"We didn't plan to do anything ... They said, 'This is Trump's property; it's a private event.' But I paid my tuition to be here," 19-year-old Tahjila Davis told The Register.

After leaving the complex where the rally was held, the students reportedly argued outside with police officers, who told them that they needed to leave the premises.

The rally drew 7,500 people.

The above writ large is what the country will be like if Trump or Cruz get elected. HRC would not stir up a race war like her R foes would do. Of course Bernie (to me) is the best candidate of all. Just hope I get to vote for him twice!

in the back of the audience, with separate bathrooms and water fountains? That is, after all, where the Trump followers would like this to go, isn't it?

the group was disruptive and included whites.

The internet is a feeding ground for misinformation.

Trump's supporters scare me.

I work with some conservative republicans who think Trump and his supporters are completely insane and dangerous.

They admit that they were there to protest and the Trump campaign paid for the facility to hold a rally of supporters. While they say that it was supposed to be a silent protest, that hasn't been the case as some recent similar events (nor does it matter).

You don't have to be a Trump supporter to believe that it's ok for a campaign to remove people from a closed campaign event in those circumstances.

They hadn't done anything yet. Someone might think you look like an undesirable and throw you out based on your appearance.

Trump has trotted out black and muslim and latino supporters but they are rarely if ever in the audience at his rallies. Having a group of 30 is harder to violently beat up than if there was 1 or 2.

the valdosta st blazers broadcast sports on a station www.talk921.com that broadcasts laura ingraham, michael savage, and dennis prager along with a local morning guy who necessarily/likelyfollows the rw program.

don’t know about ingraham and prager, but savage is a major trump booster who said this shit about bernie (at bottom).

these 90 major universities do the same thing — supporting trump/cruz/rubio while trashing clinton and sanders

protesting those relationships around the country would get supermajorities for dems

BERNIE SANDERS IS A

Schmuck

Liberalism is a mental disorder, Bernie’s an eg of someone who’s on medication, well he’s on medication obviously in my opinion he should be on severe thorazine in a bug house

He’s a retrovirus, not only a carrier of the marxist virus but he’s actually an infection himself

Schmuck, a lowlife of the lowest order a brooklyn commie, i know the type.... if they were a teacher they’d get fired for sleeping with a student

I knew the type, the grandfather stood on the corner of union square on a soapbox screaming about the wonders of communism even though he fled russia

Schmuck

(Bernie supporters) millennials, morons lived in their parents basement until yesterday

The clinton machine will not let him get there- it will be a pullonium bagel or an exploding knish, there’ll be an accident, a little advice for bernie- don’t jog in marcy park

Liberty university- why would they let this schmuck speak there? let this anti christian communist speak there?

What does that mean raised in a jewish family, non observant? he was a communist descended from jews!

Let him sell body parts, lunatic, too stupid to invest wisely

We're overrun by mexicans and syrians and this schmuck’s talking about income inequality

Steeped in marxism right down to the dirty suit, died in the wool loser, at least he’s not wearing a pantsuit, now if he came out in a pink pantsuit i’d say he has a better chance at the crossover vote

If he won i’d leave the country

Inarticulate lowlife, bad health, lifetime of mariajuana, bad red wine, tofu, probably enlarged breasts from the tofu, emaciated mentally and physically, can’t he get a hair cut? the breath on this guy, halitosis

I want to ridicule him, i want to tear him apart like a cat with a mouse, i’d invite him on the show anytime he wants,

Moron moron moron sick

Bernie's invited on the savage nation
