I live steps from the Pacific Amphitheater at the OC fairgrounds

Today in anticipation of protesters gone wild - because CA is a tinder box. Trump's disdain for Hillary doesn't match his hatred of Obama. I was so anxious about the clash of protests and supporters that we got out of town this morning and retreated to the mountains.

Tonight the news is painting the 3,500 protesters as violent and that they attacked Trump people. Then I updated Google on my android and what cane up terrified me. Every story was favoring Trump and berating the protestors. EVERY STORY PROMOTED. I'm uninstalling Google.

But Google is huge and is backing Trump hard. As is ABC news. And. On and on. And they threw in a Hillary hit piece by the Washington Times.

I know I get tossed out of Hillary groups for pointing out these fears of mine. But I just don't care if I get tossed. I'm on the ground in the biggest prize. Women here hate Hillary - for no good reason.

I'm the Canary in the coal mine. And I'm sick

Google News shows stories according to what's being viewed, among other factors. It doesn't indicate the company's position.

There has been a lot of discord in our Costa Mesa City Hall since the 2008 crash. And it became a real battle since 2010 when Dems didn't vote and tea people invaded.

Dems here are just not as good as Reps at organizing and voting. They are far more aggressive. Costa Mesa Repuplicans were protesting Trump with Dems. But that unity has all been overshadowed by the media's love for Trump. Today's local coverage put protesters,in a horrible light.

I hope HRC drops the NRA attacks and focuses on infrastructure and alternative energy. Go after the oil companies as well as Wall Street. And the scamming industry.

The guy bloodied at the protest, Cole Bartiromo, was all over the news. Nowhere did they mention his federal prison terms.

There are enough Hillary voters out there to give her a landslide in the electoral college, especially against Trump.

actually being "in the Bay Area." But not a very long train or car ride.

Freakin' hypocrites.

KRON4 News is covering the planned protest today. They stream live several hours per day.

I live across the street from GGPark, and I'll bet you I seee repuke "tourists" all weekend long.
