MIAMI, June 3 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama warned Democrats on Friday that they need to work hard to defeat likely Republican nominee Donald Trump in the Nov. 8 presidential election but must avoid violence like that at a rally in California this week.
"Strange things can happen in an election like this if we're not working hard, if we're not engaged, if we're not participating," Obama told donors at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee.
"I want us to run scared the whole time," he said.
Obama decried the clashes between supporters of likely Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and protesters on Thursday at a rally in San Jose, California.
"We saw in San Jose these protesters starting to pelt stuff at Trump supporters; that's not what our democracy's about," Obama said.
"There's no room for violence. There's no room for shouting. There's no room for a politics that fails to at least listen to the other side, even if you vehemently disagree," he said.
Obama spoke to about 90 people who paid $10,000 to $30,000 for the dinner at the home of Robert Rubenstein, a personal injury lawyer.

I predict at Trump's next rally, the "protesters" will wear white and wave American flags, just like they did in Dallas in 2006.
I want the Democrats to run scared AFTER the election.
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”
What a dodo. I guess his teleprompter is working again.
Everyone’s running scared after 8 years of you, you stupid putz.
As long as YOU run away barry.
“Get in their faces...”
“They bring a knife, we bring a gun...”
“They send one of ours to the hospital, we send one of theirs to the morgue...”

Obama is very concerned about Bernie’s supporters’ actions at the convention.
He is such a liar. The left has always been about violence.

“one of ours to the hospital, we send one of theirs”
“Ours” and “theirs”. Obama really brought us together, the POS.
Now is the time to stop hemming and hawing and get behind The Donald.
“There’s no room for violence. There’s no room for shouting. There’s no room for a politics that fails to at least listen to the other side, even if you vehemently disagree,” he said.
this is what he’s been doing for the past 7 1/2 years
I want them to run so fast that the hounds can't catch 'em, on down the Mississippi to the gulf of Mexico.
They better run like a “run away” . BUT TRUMP IS COMING!!!
The fact he mentioned the violence is a sign they know it looks bad. He barely condemned it, though.
Be careful what you wish for, Bammy.

So no baseball bats?
He learned that from Daniel Ortega (remember his bi-weekly bomb shelter drills?).
