Something about those SS men isn't right. Remember what Rachel said about strongmen. They create the storms and then stage themselves as the victims. Everything he does is suspect. Especially after he lied last night about the police telling him to cancel the U of IC event. He can use the secret service as a convenient excuse, and they most likely will not comment.

conspiracy theorist,and did here Maddow's comment,and knowing how she seems to find behind the sceens info on people and organizations,nothing seems surprising. Trump being the self promoter and bullsh=t artist that he is,got a hunch he will succeed in creating some very tragic event and blame Obama for it. Seems to be the direction of Trumps Campaign.

Looked staged to me. Trump actually rocked his own podium.
Not sure what the "close call" was, but I think whomever authored that headline needs to rethink it.

while up at the podium, turned and actually ran towards a man who had fallen and cracked his head on the floor. It sounded like a gunshot - who was to know it might not have been and could have been intended for him. Yet, he RAN to the man in the confusion of no-one knowing yet in that split second what was going on.

the only ones behind him are his supporters - unless... it was one of "them".

next we'll hear that he is withdrawing because he has had so many threats to his life. sheesh.
