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

(23,105 posts)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!

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

(26,748 posts)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.

(45,450 posts)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.

(9,090 posts)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.
dont 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
