Five people were arrested, two police officers were injured, and at least one policeman needed stitches to close a head wound after a well-organized, violent protest at a rally for Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump last Friday.
The left-wing radicals groups behind it hoped to embarrass Trump and make him look too extreme for voters to support him on the eve of the Illinois primary.
Voters say their plan backfired
A new poll found that twice as many people said the Chicago confrontation made them more likely to vote for Trump than to shy away from him.
Pollsters at Monmouth University reported that likely voters “interviewed on Saturday and Sunday were asked how that incident affected their vote intentions. Most (66%) say it had no impact on their support.”
“However, twice as many said it made them more likely (22%) rather than less likely (11%) to support Trump,” they wrote.
The scenes of blood and violence turned off so many people that nearly one in every four was more likely to vote for Trump out of spite.
As usual, Donald Trump understood the way voters would react better than his critics.
After the riot, he told MSNBC, “This increases the vote for Trump.”
He went on to win the Illinois primary on Tuesday by more than 122,000 votes and Florida by double digits.
It’s not just left-wing social groups that appear to be suffering in the court of public opinion from attacks on the Trump campaign, either.
Other Republican presidential candidates allegedly lost votes for saying the uprising was Trump’s fault.
“The three trailing candidates all called out the frontrunner after violence broke out at a planned Trump rally in Chicago Friday night,” Monmouth noted.
Establishment politicians in both parties, and their Wall Street donors, seem so threatened by Trump’s meteoric rise that they tried to pin the blame for the radicals’ rampage on his brusque style — only to see their accusations backfire at the polls.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called the Chicago clash the “predictable consequence” of Trump’s “campaign that affirmatively encourages violence.”
Ohio Gov. John Kasich agreed, saying that, “Donald Trump has created a toxic environment.”
That inspired backlash from voters like Jace Conners, who wrote on Cruz’s Facebook page, “Ted Cruz, I was an undecided voter who was leaning your way. Then you blamed Trump for the actions of violent protesters.”
“I am now voting Trump,” he wrote. “Thanks for helping me make my choice tonight.”

ILLINOIS BOB says
Sending fascist fist swinging disruptors to Trumps Chicago rally was 100% wrong, and it 100% backfired on the disruptors. Trump and his supporters were not the problem, the minority faction disruptors were the entire problem but the media wishes to condemn and assign blame to Trump, and portray Trump supporters as racists/bigots…. The oldest leftist trick of blaming the people they attack does not work anymore in 2016.
Almost as bad, Kasich, Cruz, and Rubio didn’t even stand up and denounce the actions, instead they blamed Trump, how shallow and un-American is that (just to gain a potential vote). They call themselves conservative, but I have another word that I wont use here.
Denying an individual or group their 1st Amendment Right is a blow against America’s fundamental principles. The media tried to justify the organized disruptor actions of sending mass demonstrators inside a rally with the intent to oppose, physically disrupt/destroy, physically assault people and police, and ultimately deny another groups U.S. Constitutional 1st Amendment Right to peacefully organize and be heard without repercussion (aka FREE SPEECH) .
This election is bigger than Donald Trump. But Donald Trump stands for We The People, the majority, and our votes will be counted and represent the will of the people. The super majority of American’s are openly rejecting the far Right (GOP elitist club) and the far Left (Democratic elitist club). The American people get it, its just that the media and the “elitist club” members don’t and/or refuse to see what is happening.
Main Street says
47% of Americans are on some type of welfare program. The majority of new jobs are part time, low wage, no benefit ones. The middle east is in a barbaric state not seen in centuries. Our borders are open. The mood of the nation is malaise.We have college grads who have skills that wouldn’t have gotten them into 8th grade 35 years ago. Trump speaks truth to power. It seems that freeloaders, elitists and self-servers are against him. More reason to vote for him. The same types feared Teddy Roosevelt and FDR last century.
ILLINOIS BOB says
The North Koreans just “test” fired another 2 ballistic missile’s into the sea, and this week sentenced U.S. UVA Student to 15 years at “hard labor” for simply taking down a North Korea propaganda sign in a building hallway. We also need to confirm another “orignalist” Jurist to replace the Honorable Antonin Scalia.
YES – We need TRUMP as Commander In Chief. We need a TRUMP CABINET in DC so that reflects the will of the American majority in its thinking and actions. We are in delicate times which require a strong Executive Branch.
Main Street says
Agreed!
DISGUSTED says
AMEN!
Nancy says
I agree wholeheartedly. Out with Obama and in with Trump and his team. He isn’t a saint, and we shouldn’t expect him to be. But he’s better by a long shot than anybody running for the office this time around, and last time and the time before too. Go Trump Go!!
Danuta says
I would like to see Trump and Carson.
Brads says
Cruz is the best choice and quit spilling your lies. I have never seen a honest Liberal yet and that is what Trump is. If your for Trump or Clinton then you worship the Devil.
Robert S Raper says
You Are Right Trump
Lori says
Exactly!!
Robert S Raper says
Brads and Lorie I’ll pray you come to your senses get on the Trump Train if you love AMERICA VOTE TRUMP
Kathy Walker says
That is the far left talking. Cruz(Rafael). Is just another lawyer politician on the gravy train. If they think that I would vote for anybody but Trump after a convention they are wrong. I will write his name in on November election and will vote Democrat for all House and Senate. And everyone I know says that is what they will do. These people will not tell me who to vote for.
JEANETTE PURCELL says
I AGREE 100% I WISH SOMEONE WOULD CHECK OUT TED CRUZ’S MOTHERS CITIZENSHIP IN CANADA WHEN HE WAS BORN.. I AM TOLD SHE VOTED IN THE CANADIAN ELECTION WHICH MAKES HER A CITIZEN OF CANADA. HE WAS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN OF USA. TELL HIM HE IS ILLIGAL NOT QUALIFIED TO BE MY PRESIDENT. I AM A 91 YEAR OLD CITIZEN AND I DON’T LIKE TED CRUZ. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP.. WE NEED A CHANGE, OUR COUNTRY IS READY FOR A BIG FALL.
Brads says
Then if you don’t like Cruz then your just listening to lies. If your 91 then he is what your father and grandfather was. A man of integrity and morals. It amazes me when people like Trump and Clinton continually lie and there supporters believe them Today should be declared stupid day because people are not informed with the truth. If your a liar and cheat like Clinton and Trump you can become President!
Kiburt says
Brad Says is an idiot if he believes Cruz’s BS.
Trump has more smarts in his small fingernail than Cruz has in his whole body. And, Cruz is bought and paid so he is beholding to all his supporters. Wake up Brad and smell the coffee. Cruz would be the “same-ol-same-ol.

TRUMP supporter says
Question for the voters not voting for TRUMP. If ypu electt any other politicians. What will this country look like in 4 years, if we still have anything left…. Remember the Washington elites will not be taking care of you and your family. Without TRUMP we are on a path to a 3rd world country……..
Brads says
I will note vote for a Liberal period!
Kiburt says
America has been injected with a cancer of Muslims that is said by the Prophat Muhammad in the Kuran to be the way of conquering all of it’s enemies. Attrition is their friend and our enemy. They will multiply exponentially faster then we can imagine. Without a strong President and GOP, we are doomed, first by financial bankruptcy, making it impossible to reconstruct our military to a standard of what it once was. This alone will create another vacuum but this time it will be America.
We may not be able to stop it, but we can waylay the outcome for a number of years if we have a strong leader in the White House. I believe Mr. Trump is our only hope for the future of America.
Robert S Raper says
Brads iveseen several post by you and for the life of me don’t you understand what is at stake is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TRUMP IS NOT A CAREER POLITICIAN AND DID YOU LEARN NOTHING THE LAST thing we need is Another First term senator they usually do not even Show up to Vote and when they do the folks that sent them get a back stab so We need another Way TRUMP IS THAT WAY
Kathy Walker says
Trump supporter I tottaly agree with you we will become 3rd world and the lying lawyer politicians don’t care about anybody but themselves and how much more money they can steal they all should be in jail. Can anybody put out the list of voters for the convention for republicans. We all need to know so we can start hounding them now and give them a piece of mind??????????????

Confondmeonce You Get It Im Glad PATRIOTS STILL EXZIST IN OUR AMERICA TRUMP IS A VOTE FOR PATRIOTS OF AMERICA
Bob says
Main Street, those who feared FDR were right. He loaded his administration with communists and almost gave away the store to Stalin at Yalta.
His policies had prolonged the Great depression and it was only WW II that brought us out of it. He was a Fabian socialist. Many of his actions were unconstitutional.
Rick Worthington says
HA! At last – someone who knows about the Fabians! So few know about Fabians and what they stand for!
Talk about a ‘secret society’ !! Ben, most socialists, (or non-socialists) in this country ( and overseas) know very little about Fabianism…it’s quite a surprise to read a post from someone who’s a little more educated that most who write in on ‘worldly events.’
Eleanor says
Voters are disgusted, angry and completely put off by the blatant disregard for the law and the unfair attacks on Donald Trump. The tactics these leftists are using is showing us (the voters) the corruption of these people and we, the voters, don’t want any of the backers of these subversives in office, and these include Clinton, Bernie, Cruz, Kasich and the rest of the GOP RINO’s. Trump is more honest in his dealings with the people than any or all of them. I KNOW I will not change my vote – Trump all the way!!
Vikki says
Trump 2016! WE WON’T BE BULLIED!!!
Nina says
I voted in my state of NC Tuesday in our primaries for Trump! If I could have voted twice I would have!! It irritated the crap out of me that they bring in these assholes to start trouble and then try to blame Trump! Most definitely sewed up the vote for me! What were they thinking? Did they think it was going to play out well for them? Soros you’re a bigger idiot than I thought you were!
Robert S Raper says
Nina Well Said
DWB says
Well spoken and I could not agree more.
JK says
Many of America’s richest citizens are trying to stop Donald J. Trump the old-fashioned way – with millions of wasted dollars for negative campaign donations against him, including organized protesting riots.
Recently, the richest people in the world are joining forces to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.
Those lobbyists know very well that Trump is self-financing his campaign, that’s why he’s become impossible to control by them, and they are scared.
One of the top donors is a familiar name: George Soros. The Hungarian-born speculator has donated more than $8 million in 2016, all to liberal PACs backing Hillary Clinton, according to FEC records.
Now, they increasing donations for Cruz and Kasich, who is hoping for broken election. Kasich and Mitt Romney together, what a disaster. People they don’t want either one loser.
America doesn’t need this. We don’t need corrupted government. We need a strong leadership like Trump.
Denying an individual or group their 1st AMENDMENT RIGHTS – FREE SPEECH – is against America’s fundamental principles.
Trump will build this wall, and will slash taxes on the middle class and fight to protect high-paying manufacturing jobs, while raising taxes on Wall Street speculation.
WAKE UP AMERICA – WE THE PEOPLE – LET THEM HEAR OUR VOICES-
JOIN TRUMP TRAIN – AND VOTE FOR TRUMP – HE IS THE ONLY ONE -WHO WILL –
-MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN-
MAY GOD HELP US TO HELP DONALD J. TRUMP BE OUR PRESIDENT.
GOD BLESS AMERICA. VOTE TRUMP
Angel says

Robert S Raper says
I agree with you no more career POLITICANS who Only Want to Get Elected to a office to sit on there ass and do good for there selfs Not AMERICA
Bob says
These evil money men are all involved and they want nothing but rich and poor.Then all the poor can be controlled like the welfare class. The middle-class has shrunk by 40 per cent and this is why we need Trump for the middle-class and not Hilllary the puppet to shrink it more!!! They should be focusing on jobs and pride and pay into the system instead of raping it to shrink the middle-class more and for people to be able to collect their social security owed to them. But obviously this isn’t their goal.
Kimberly says
You said it. DJT all the way!

WE HAVE TO MAKE THE IDIOTS ON THE HILL HEAR US AND FORCE THEM TO FAIL IN STEALING THIS ELECTION. WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD STOP DONATING ANY MONEY TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. AND SEND THEM NOTICE WE WILL SUPPORT OUR CANDIDATES WITH DIRECT DONATIONS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PARTY THAT SPENDS SO MUCH TO KICK ONE OF OUR OWN OFF OF THE TICKET. WE CANNOT LET THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OR IDIOT HARRY REID OR LINDSAY GHRAHAM USURP OUR FREEDOM. WE NEED TO MOVE IN ON THIS. I AM DISGUSTED WITH THE LOT OF THEM. THEY HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO DO THEIR JOBS AND WE SHOULD MAKE CONCERTED EFFORTS TO VOTE THOSE IN OFFICE OUT. PAUL RYAN IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE AND A SNAKE. BEN CARSON CAN PUT THIS MOVEMENT TOGETHER AND WE SHOULD GET BEHIND HIM. HE IS INTERESTED ONLY IN SEEING A FAIR PROCESS. TRUMP IS A POWER BROKER. TED CRUZ IS A DEAL BREAKER. GOD HELP US IF THE FANATIC SCREAMING BARKING CLINTON WINS THIS. INTERESTED IN WE THE PEOPLE? EMAIL ME @

Pam Brigham says
Could’agree more!
TRUMP supporter says
It’ s amazing that they spend millions on negative ads against TRUMP because there is no candidate running that can stand on their own acomplements. It’s easier to after him. Think of each candidates Bernie is a socialist that wants 90% taxes. Hillary risks government top secrets and said she didn’t know. She lied to the American public but tell her daughter the truth. Tell congress who cares about the heros that died in Benghazi. Ted Cruz tells his people to lie to voters about Ben Carson. He fakes forms to shame voters into voting for him. Has ties to Goldman Sachs, gets a large loan with almost no interest . John Kasich every time he talks sounds like he’s reading his job resume. He’s been getting a government check for twenty years and he forgets that he was a manger at lehman brothers. That was part of the cause of the Wall Street housing collapse. Just vote TRUMP sends them a message.
Larry says
Damn Right Illinois Bob!!! This is one of the very best statements I have read..
Kiburt says
Yes! Illinois Bob,
Articulate, accurate, intuitive.
Goooooooooooooooo Trump!
Bob says
I guess they have nothing better to do since they probably don’t have jobs,a life,or pride which creates an angry miserable person that live under the rule of a dumb-downed welfare-freebie society. These lazy people can exert themselves for this but can’t work??
Nona Jarrell says
Very well put, and explain it very well!
V. Uil says
You are so correct about Rubio, Cruz and Kasich: the piled on to the condemnation of Trump. Quite disgusting proving that they are simply standard politicians – including Cruz – opportunists who will say anything to get elected.
It was flagrantly obvious that Trump was not culpable for the nonsense in Chicago. It was MoveOn.org and Soros.
As an aside it is interesting to note that one of Kasich’s funders is ….. waht for it …….Soros. Take a look.

Chappx25 says
I have to say I did hear the other candidates, after deep thoughts on the matter of course, did come out a few days later in support of the 1st amendment. That is, after a few very prominent media members started saying how gutless and spineless the other “experienced politicians” were for not standing up for Trump. I felt Ted Cruz was the worst actor of the all though. He looked like a fish flopping on the sand. You could tell he knew he cut his own political throat that night.
GINETTE Z COHEN says
Why did you erase my e-mail. Is it political correctness. I am saying the truth like Trump
GINETTE Z COHEN says
I should have time to show some moderation. Can I have it back?
GINETTE Z COHEN says
I am waiting for your answer.
GINETTE Z COHEN says
I am disgusted by the Establishment and by the riots against Trump. He is the only one able to risk his life for his love for America and for the well being of the American People. He is the only one able to rebuilt America with wealth, jobs, good education and happiness. he is the only one to beat Hillary. He is the only one able to protect us against illegal immigrants, drug dealers, terrorists and extremists,. He is the only one able to reunify our Country. He has a great heart and big love for everyone, not concerned by the color of their skin or their religion. He is a real leader for our great Country,
GINETTE Z COHEN says
I am telling the truth. Trump has a good ethic, a good education, a good family, he loves our Country, He would bring positive changes in our life and make us free, protected and happy with our president. The 7 past years have been very hard on all Americans. People have lost their jobs. It was too much suffering, griefs, crimes, frustrations, hopelessness. Trump gives us hope for our kids, our veterans, and for the broken political system. It needs to be purified from the wealthy lobbyists and the Unions. He will give a voice to the average persons with a small government. He is for the people and be elected by the people. Stop the riots against him.
Kathy Walker says
It’s a no brainier I am voting Trump he is a businessman. We need jobs in the USA not more politicians lawyers. Not (Rafael Edward Cruz) Ted , he had duel citizenship with Canada until 2014 . Just another lieing lawyer politician who knows nothing about trade or business and neither does the blow hard Kasich. I go to sleep when that guy talks. Voted Trump
RACHEL says
I AGREE I GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO KASICH… DO YOU NOTICE WHENVER HE TALKS HE ALWAYS BRINGS UP WHAT HE DID IN THE PAST NEVER WHAT HE WILL DO, EVERY SENTENCE HE STARTS OUT BY SAYING , I WAS THERE WHEN…. I WAS WITH… WHO CARES? HECK I HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS GUY WHAT HE DID WHERE WITH WHO WHATEVER IT WAS THAT HE HELPED DO DOESNT MATTER NOW BECAUSE IT APPARENTLY WASNT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTING TRUMP
paula riobinson says
lol — and I thought I was the only person to never have heard of him. I have been to Ohio only
a few times. I have talked to people from Ohio many times. Do not think they had ever heard
of hin either. Thanks for sharing that thought
Kiburt says
Kasich didn’t fix Ohio, they were bailed out by the Federal Government after accepting Obamacare.
Nancy says
Yeah. I think Kasich must be 1000 years old to have done as much as he says he has done. I wish he’d crawl back in the hole he crawled out of. His exaggerated ego is as big as Rubio and Cruz. All establishment guys, no matter which way you cut it. All part of the problem, not the solution.
Go Trump Go!
PatriotForever says
And a RESOUNDING Amen! It should make the citizenry’s BLOOD BOIL to know we have become subjects of the King – KingCamelDung and our elitist, oligarchy government
Do people not see that we are have become the very country and Ruling Class and King George lll, we left 240 years ago?
Read the Declaration of Independence and with the exception of 2 or 3 reasons/Proclamations, that document represents us completely:
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
3. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
4. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
5. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
6. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
7. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
8. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
9. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
10. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
11. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
12. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
13. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
14. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
15. For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
16. For cutting off “our” Trade with all parts of the world:
17. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
18. For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
19. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses
20. For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
21. For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
22. For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
23. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
24. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
25. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
26. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
27. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppression’s We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpation’s, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
NOW ASK YOURSELF WHO AND WHAT ARE TODAY’S AMERICANS DEALING WITH? ANOTHER CORRUPT GOVERNMENT AND KING?
IMAGINE THAT THE CITIZENRY SHOULD BE RISING TO REVOLT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. ARE THE PEOPLE TOO STUPID, TO PATRIOTICALLY DEAD? OR WILL THEY AS 240 YEARS AGO STAND UP AND GET OFF THEIR COMPLACENT REARS AND ACT LIKE AMERICANS?

Arthur Hartsock says
Thanks Patriot Fever. It’s always good to read the Declaration of Independence and understand it. But even if we do not support the President’s policies we should respect the Office. Calling him Mr. Obama is bad enough. Okay?
Robert S Raper says
How about Mr Dumbass
Justin W says
As the protestors are identified and their sponsoring organizations become known, people are probably going to gain a more favorable opinion of Donald Trump and a less favorable opinion of these organizations. I have no patience for organizations of rabble rousers whose only goal is to create chaos for those who fail to support their radical agendas.
I remember seeing a Black Lives Matter supporter take over the microphone at a Bernie Sanders rally last fall. Bernie was standing by the podium as this activist ranted. If Bernie doesn’t have enough power to take the microphone at his own event, then he is too impotent to be commander in chief. If he can’t gain control over a BLM activist then he would be a weak leader.
Donald, on the other hand, seems to have no problem having the protestors ejected from his event. This gives credence to his claims that he will be a tough negotiator with other heads of state. One of the complaints against President Obama is his weakness on the world stage. Mr. Trump has shown that he will not be weak leader.
Joe Hart says
I agree with you 100%. Donald Trump did the right decision to cancel the rally in Chicago, and he was able to control the trouble makers in the subsequent rally. No other politician has the same courage and show strength in this kinds of situation. He explained it well what is the consequences to criminal records if these thugs go to jail. I hope they listen to him and will not protest again.
ILLINOIS BOB says
I hope so too. I was a the Trump events, and the Bloomington IL event was super tight security. Higher level of Secret Service (Full gear uniformed, Long dress coats-typical look, and plain clothed), and Illinois State Police (uniformed and plain clothed), with some Bloomington Police salted in among the other Federal and State law enforcement. NO NONSENSE attitude by that team. They did good.
In Rahm Emmanuel’s Chicago, the Chicago Police at times looked like the Baltimore Police department, to some degree stepping down and/or looking the other way. Afraid to take control almost… they did OK but they let it start before doing anything. Don’t think they were ready for the level of disruptors, good thing Trump listened to Secret Service assessment and cancelled event… could have ended very very badly if event went live as originally planned.
Result: Trump spent about 2 hours in Illinois and walked away with 54 of 69 Delegates, winning around 13 of 18 Congressional Districts to Ted Cruz’s 2 Districts! In the few “counties” within the districts where Cruz was strong Trump was a strong #2, so that stays in line with the national trend.
GO TRUMP – I hope “Illinois” becomes the new “Ohio” for Trump in the general election after he wins the nomination.
Nancy says
You’re right — I noticed the same things. Trump is not a racist. He’s a successful businessman who employs people of all races and seems to get along just fine with them. I think he would be a good president, and would choose his vice president, and others with what’s best for America in mind. Let’s elect him. We can do this.
Sammy Morello says
Hilary is dangerous. If we let her win, all our women will be wearing cover-ups similar to the middle east . We must end this crazy political correctness now. We need jobs. We need security. We need our borders shut. And yes many, not all Muslims hate us with such a passion. Obama is trying to turn us into a 3rd world Middle eastern country and so will Hilary.
prarieprincess3 says
I agree. She could care less and knows less than that. Trump is our guy to start to dig out of this quicksand.
Brads says
You think Clinton is dangerous wait if the tyrant Trump gets in he will make Obama look good. Do you people not get it Trump is scamming you worse than Trump University!
Robert S Raper says
Brad if you think a clinton is what we need it’s Not. America needs DONALD TRUMP IF WE LOSE THIS ELECTION WE LOSE AMERICA BE A PATRIOT NOT A PREDITOR.
Lori says
I voted Trump hesitantly in the AL primary i say hesitantly only because i am ultra conservative (he won our state by a landslide) and now I am so happy and glad that i voted TRUMP! What is wrong with these people? i went to the Trump rally in our state there were 35,000 positive people there and then… and then……the 15-20 black lives matter protesters that were screaming`slurs at the peaceful participants and when Trump finally said his famous “get them out of here” since they were so obnoxious and such obstructionists they marched out all with the their fists up in the salute to the black panthers. Worse, the liberal media spin on our local media outlets covered the Trump rally and the supporters as all racists! And BTW i am NOT a white low income uninformed uneducated voter. However, i am a voter that is done with this liberal progressive effort to stop free speech and to do so by ensuing violence. I dislike Hilary very much but i would never suggest stopping her from speaking or stirring up violence at one of her speaking engagements or threatening her family. Mr. Trump is our only hope. Trump-Trump- Trump! Nothing that these people do will make me not vote Trump in the general election!
Robert S Raper says
God Bless you American PATRIOT.
Netti Schreiner-Yantis says
Until I read Judge Andrew P. Napolitano’s book IT IS DANGEROUS TO BE RIGHT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT IS WRONG did I realize just how much freedom we have lost since the 2nd Continental Congress declared “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that [they/we] are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” Every one of these rights has been taken away (or is in danger of being taken away) by our federal government! President, John Adams, said “You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe.” What has happened? Because of fear, political correctness, selfishness of those governing us, we are no longer free to speak or act., Benjamin Franklin said, “When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” Well, guess what? That is why WE THE PEOPLE are . . . and should be . . . angry! Our legislatures from the “house”, senate, president and supreme court justices are taking away our unalienable Rights, It is undeniable. And it is better to get a strong leader such as Trump to take us back to our Constitutional beginnings than to see them quietly eroding.. Don’t let those succeed who–in their own self-interest–are trying to stop Trump’s election by ANY means they can.
ata all Men are created equal, that the Bill of Rights was written
Robert S Raper says
You make a Old Mans Heart Happy so many don’t even know those Sweet Words Stiil Relavat And True LET US ALL BE AMERICANS NOT TO BE SET ON EACH OTHER FOR WHAT OUR SKIN HUE NO I SAY VOTE FOR AMERICA FOR ANERICANS TRUMP.
Jerry from Pewaukee, Wisconsin says
The longer I am around the more I like Trump. He calls it like it is and will make a great President! Keep it up!
Arthur Hartsock says
It will be priceless to see the faces of the ‘Move On’ types when Mr. Trump is elected. I hope they have travel plans to Cuba or Venezuela!!!
Robert S Raper says
Arthur I totally Agree id chip in a few Dollars to see the Folks Who Do Not Love ANERICA LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT. AND DO NOT COME BACK.
PissedOffRepulican says
I too have spoken with many people that are now supporting Trump for the same reasons. As it should be. There is no excuse, rhythm or reason that anyone should have to put up with that kind of violence and be denied free speech. Trump is a nice person, personally I would have gone anyway and had everyone that created the violence arrested and put in jail. Any many of them should have been. Until our law enforcement does this, these radical protesters are going to think they can get away with this kind of behavior. If they try to put this kind of stunt in States that allow open carry, there is going to be some real bad things happen.
Robert S Raper says
I live in The Great State OF Georgia and here Most Have Conceled Carry and I Don’t Leave Home Without Mine I’m not about Hurting Others But I’ll not Put Up With BLM or Move On folks Messing With Mr Trumps Free Spech or the People’s Right To Assemble Go Mr Trump the People Will Have Your Back.
Joanne says
I refuse in this political season to listen to the corrupt media, pollsters, and all the other jerks who believe they know better than the American people. Donald Trump is taking a beating from all the “nutbags” on the left and the right but he can handle it as he’s proven over and over. DONALD TRUMP in 2016…
not bought or paid for like the other morons. God Bless You.
Robert S Raper says
GOD BLESS YOU JOANN TRUMP IN 16
Martin Korab says
I was backing Cruz for president all the way until I heard him say that Trump was the cause of the trouble at his rallies. Now I will be backing Trump, because I really believe he is what the country needs right now. Cruz however, would be a good choice for the VP slot. I think he would learn a lot from Trump in 4 yrs. as his VP. and it would almost guarantee that there would be 16 continuous yrs. of a republican Whitehouse. We are going to need every bit of those 16 yrs. to undo the damage that that muslim in the Whitehouse did to this country. However, let us not be stupid, let us vote for the nominee who is the choice of the American people,and make sure that the elitists do not tinker with the election. Just remember this, anything is better than what the democrats are offering, which is 4 more years of the muslim rule. Wake up America,the freedoms of our country are at stake and if you love your country this election is a no-brainer. Vote for a TRUMP/ CRUZ ticket and save our great country. Sincerely, Martin Korab.
Bra says
This is the beginnning if Trump gets in. Remember this morons . We will go to war with China. You heard it first here because I am not as stupid as Trump’s voters.
Robert S Raper says
Bra go back to your little BLM or Move On unit Bra I hope you get a Brain for Christmas I hope u get a manual for it to
Joyce Hille says
When we get to Cleveland………if they decide not to go with Trump
Time to vote wRIOTe him in
cruz lost any consideration from me in Iowa, he stole the vote from Carson & Trump, I don’t believe he even won
his robo calls & all else he did & says…he can’t beat clinton, he maybe in his mind..
What world leader would even believe him.
If we all write TRUMP in, HE will win, WE WIN!!!
rockinr says
Trump is pulling the rug out from under both parties. Isn’t that what we wanted for decades?? Someone that could reign in the bureaucracy. GOOOO Trump.
Constitutionalist says
Martin-
You should probably ask Cruz why he didn’t know he was a Canadian citizen until 2014, and just how he became an American citizen in less than 2 years, as well as how he thinks he meets the “natural born” REQUIREMENT to run for the presidency, too.
william crescenzo says
WOW,what a response !To believe the mainstream junk they broadcast on T.V. is genuinely depressing . Seeing everyone’s responses here gives me hope. GO TRUMP!
twykes says
If the establishment conservatives
Oust trump…i will use my right to
Write trump in my ballot. Cant believe
They would try to get rid of him now.
He’s a winner as far as i’m concerned.
Write ins are still acceptible as far as
I know
prarieprincess3 says
YOU ARE ONE SMART PERSON. YEP. HATS OFF TO YOU!
Rose Dezonno says
I will also write him in since he is the only one running with common sense. This is the first time I’ve voted in a while since in previous years I felt it was like voting in one idiot for another. This year I have faith in Trump. I hope all those protestors that thought they were doing the right thing now realize they have been guilty of stupidity!!!!
Lee says
What a GREAT idea!! If Trump is not given the nomination, let’s write him on the ballot and elect him that way.
Constitutionalist says
Lee-
You should check the 12th Amendment to the Constitution – popular vote hasn’t elected a single president in the history of the country, yet.
This is what’s dangerous about the “electoral college,” for if they can be gotten to – and money speaks with an eloquence Shakespeare would envy – then they can be swayed to vote for the PtB’s choice.
i think that the 12th Amendment should be repealed ASAP…but don’t think enough people will recognize the danger of it in time to motivate the States to vote that way until after the next election.
Bud says
It’s time that rich azz h**e soros and his paid protesters get the boot and tell them to try working on the lawless clinton .
maybe it will work on her LMFAO
Kiburt says
Trump is right about the theft of his nomination causing a riot. If so, I have kept my powder dry and am ready and willing to use it.
In any case, I will write in “Donald J. Trump” on my ballot.
Jan says
Bernie’s backers are vulgar. What an embarrassment that must be for Mr. Sanders. When the reporters have asked one of the protesters a question, the answers have been vague. Most of them seem intoxicated or high and very uneducated. It truly makes me want to vote for Trump more now than ever.
Constitutionalist says
Jan-
What can you offer by way of proof that Sanders is behind these agents provocateur? IF ANYONE, i’d suspect Soros via H I Liar Y, as the tactic doesn’t have any Sanders style i’ve been able to discern; i mean, the wimp let a couple of BLM women steal his mic at his rally, once! OTOH, Klinton and her whole history are rife with “tricky dick” moments…and she’s been accused(and is likely guilty of) stealing MANY votes from Sanders in the various primaries so far, while Sanders, in a “gentlemanly”(to put the most positive spin on it – i’d say “wimpy,” myself) way, refuses to say a bad word about the Lying Bitch of Benghazi or the multiple crimes, up to and including murder, which have dogged the Klintons since before Billy-boy became attorney general of Arkansas, much less it’s governor, much less the Preznit, what with his renting out rooms in the WH, the lavish cocaine parties, ad nauseum.
Jan says
Well said. And yes, you are correct I have no proof of Sanders being behind this. Again, it still must be an embarrassment to him. This is an unusual political year. As it seems you don’t need proof to disable an opponent. Oddly enough, there is a substantial amount of proof against Hillary and yet nothing is being done. Maybe I’m just being impatient. We’ll see.
Constitutionalist says
Jan-
i don’t blame you for being impatient; iirc, General Petraeus(sp?) was accused of basically the same thing that H “i liar” Y is accused of, that is, mishandling of classified docs; in Petraeus’ case, the FBI simply swooped in and TOOK all his computers and etc., then analyzed the hell out of them…instead of what the Liar has gotten away with – months and months of obstruction of justice by (IN)Justice Dept. officials making BS claims while no doubt sanitizing The Liar’s stuff as much as possible, and/or “classifying” certain docs(like comm between herself and the Current Occupant) so that most will not be able to see them.
i certainly hope that smart folks at the FBI have contacted the intelligence services of Russia and India, and Israel and China, among others, to find out what THEY got off of The Liar’s email distribution; i’d be willing to wager that they have more info than the FBI will EVER get from the (IN)Justice department.
But apparently, willing sycophants, toadies, and instruments of the New World Order/One World Government are well-protected stooges. For example, i have heard that an Admiral was recently fired for exposing that some corporate front just got a 4.9 mill. estate overlooking the ocean near Dubai for the Current Occupant to retire to – info that D’OweBama didn’t want public so much that he fired the Admiral!
Trinket Wallings says
The establishment is only going behind Cruz because they know they will get rid of him at the convention. They are evil and corrupt! They don’t want to give up their lifestyles, so they would rather have Hilary be president. God help us! Praying that Trump will win!
Roger says
Yes, Trump is a little rough, unpolished, brash. But that’s exactly why we love him. Why does a president have to fit a certain mold- how he looks, how correctly he speaks, how careful he not to offend anyone, or in the eyes of some- ‘how to be presidential’. It’s time to bust that mold and be bluntly honest, politically incorrect, tough talking AND acting, and with having the experience to get things done. We don’t need namby pamby, we need tough action!
Tim says
Trumph has been in an uphill battle with the party, the Elite are telling us we are to stupid to choose a president so they want to put the one best for the establishment. To Hell with them, if Trumph is denied I will vote democratic perhaps for the rest of my life. Trumph will deal better than any president ever. Like most of America today, problems follow all citizens today. By the way, no matter what level of life you live, if you accept money, you owe somebody SOMETHING! Have you heard, No Such Thing as Free Money!!!! Cruz has been bought and will get nothing done but and argument! There needs to be a debate between Cruz and a Tree!
Constitutionalist says
Tim-
Probably the first thing you should know is that there are a LOT more political parties in America than just RepublicRAT or DEMOLIcan’ts.
The second thing? In effect they’re really just ONE party, the party of the VERY rich and their corporations…so threatening to “go democrat” for the rest of your life is a laugh-and-a-half, to them. They already own the majority of law-makers in both parties…and the ones they can’t own, they blackmail or threaten, often with the loss of family members dear to the targeted one.
monadeca says
The guy is phony – lie all the time – mis-quote facts – divisive and racist but still has supporters. Republican supported this ideology with years of radio and TV right wing propaganda…Now they are worrying that this moron will be their candidate…
Constitutionalist says
Mona-
Look, Trump makes 2 million bux before he’s done brushing his teeth in the morning – AND, he’s promised to donate the entirety of his 400k/yr. salary to charity if he’s elected.
Why put himself and his family through all the crap he’s(and they are) enduring if he didn’t care about his country? It ain’t for the money, that’s for certain.
Did you by any chance see the Oprah interview of Trump from 25 years ago? The principles he espoused then, he maintains now – mainly that America has made some VERY bad deals that he wants to reverse. He has the intelligence, wisdom, and negotiating skills to DO IT, too…which is one of many reasons why virtually everyone in the Establishment hates him, including China! They know DAMN WELL that he’d do his level best to make things great for Americans, and end the gravy train for a LOT of scumsucking, traitorous, sycophantic, Quisling collaborators and betrayers of the Public Trust.
But let me ask you: who do you think is better for the Presidency of the United States?
The Liar?
The Socialist/Communist?
The Soros flunky?
The Canadian citizen?
These are the “choices” that CCMSM has shown us – they will NOT show us any OTHER candidates, especially from any other party than RepublicRAT or DEMOLIcan, both of which, in truth, are the SAME party, the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Corporatocracy.
G.Evans says
THEY NEED HEARING AIDS THEY DONT WANT TO LISTEN WE’RE SO DONE WITH IT IF YOU’RE SMART YOU JUMP NOW ON THE TRUMP TRAIN.
