By John Kiriakou
As you probably heard, Donald Trump canceled a rally in Chicago after scuffles broke out between Trump supporters and opponents around the arena where the candidate was supposed to speak.
True to form, Trump blamed everybody but himself for this debacle. He eventually decided that Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was somehow at fault and even threatened to send protesters of his own to disrupt rallies for Sanders.
What was newsworthy was that Trump himself canceled the event. He normally revels in the clashes between protesters and supporters that erupt at his rallies.
These confrontations have become routine, with the real estate mogul usually egging on his supporters to rough up interlopers. Hes cheered on supporters whove shoved, kicked, and punched protesters even people whove simply stood silently at Trumps rallies.

(3,457 posts)1. That's what so many right wing nuts love about him!
They love a "strong man" who will demand respect for their America which will crush anyone who looks cross-eyed at the good ol' USA. He'll whip China and Russia into shape with his indisPUTINable manliness and winning deal making! Fuck yeah!
