Thousands of supporters turned out Thursday as Donald Trump brought his campaign to Southern California, predictably sparking shouting matches with counter-demonstrators.
Heated words were exchanged after people wearing expletive-laden anti-Trump shirts began to taunt people waiting in line to attend Trump's evening speech in an amphitheater at the Orange County Fairgrounds.
Trump supporters surrounded the demonstrators and shouted "Build that wall! Build that wall!" — a reference to Trump's call to create a barrier between the United States and Mexico to stop illegal border crossers.
Later, county sheriff's deputies in riot gear and on horseback formed a barrier between a small group of anti-Trump demonstrators and the jeering Trump crowd, whose attention was then diverted by a group of seven topless young women who wore only stickers to cover their breasts. They also had slogans such as "Dump Trump" and "Gender Equality" written in marker on their midriffs.
There were no arrests and no repeat of a confrontation two days earlier outside Anaheim City Hall where an anti-Trump protester pepper-sprayed five people, including two young girls. Nobody was seriously injured in the incident, and police did not immediately make an arrest.
Trump, fresh off a sweep of five Northeastern primaries, is courting California voters hoping to lock up the Republican nomination with the state's June 7 primary.

I live in SoCal, watching the rally on KCAL 9, for Costa Mesa this is a VERY impressive turnout, now the OC is more Conservative but there are plenty of latinos there which have messed up the make up of the area but its overall a pretty Conservative area
18 years ago making more in real terms than they are today.
It is supposed to be the opposite. They work harder today than they did 18 years ago and they are making less money. Your jobs are going to other countries. Ford is building a massive plant. Carriers is going to Mexico and taking jobs with them and then they want to sell their air conditioners here in the U.S. We have stupid people running things.
Ted Cruz is the most hated man in America. Most folks here would rather have e coli than even consider voting for him.
They spontaneously puke every time they hear his voice or spot his image.

By the way, before they switched to other programs. did a great job of showing the crowed inside and outside the stadium.
I meant to say Cnn did a great job.

“Most folks here would rather have e coli than even consider voting for him.”
just cracks me up! good belly laugh on a day I needed it, thanks :)
And somehow this was Trump's fault according to lamestream media accounts.
Yeah, that’s getting so old, people just expect it...
..... Fingers crossed that this doesn’t become a symbolic flashpoint for the anarchist crazies out there. Listening to KFI and sounds like anything could happen out there.
ROFLOL! Now that would REALLY make my day!
