Bloomberg’s Heilemann Predicts Violence in Streets at RNC Would Hurt Trump’s Chances
Legal Insurrection ^

John Heilemann, co-host of Bloomberg TV’s With All Due Respect, surely leans left, but is generally a savvy political analyst in my book. But Heilemann went haywire with his prediction today. He suggested that violence in the streets of Cleveland would hurt Donald Trump’s chances of being elected president.
Really? If there are, as Heilemann said,”images of chaos and disorder” in the streets, wouldn’t Americans tend to turn to Trump, who has cast himself as “the law and order candidate?” And violent anti-Trump protesters, whether or not they expressly say so, would be in essence urging people to support Hillary, not Trump. Are Americans likely to reward Hillary for the violent actions of her, at the very least, tacit supporters? Just as Trump’s numbers went up when unruly protests shut down his rally in Chicago during the primaries, violence at the RNC would likely benefit Trump, in this Insurrectionist’s opinion.

Heilemann predicts violence in Cleveland streets during GOP convention would hurt Trump. I say just the opposite.

I disagree. Violence causes people to want to put the candidate in most like to act to put down the violence. Between Hitlery and him, people would vote for him.

I remember how the violence at the Democratic Convention in Chicago in 1968 helped elect Hubert Humphrey.
Oh wait...

I really think the violence will be at the Dem convention.

I think so too. I think Hillary would be done if violence broke out as well as the truth about it.

Yeah. If Trump would just quit there would never ever ever be any violence ever ever ever again. Right? What a load of bovine manure.

He’s just another lefty and what he says means nothing.

I agree with you! Families across the country are seeing these barbarians harass, threaten, injure and kill and we’re damn well sick of it. Trump is advertising he’s the law and order candidate, and that will go over very well with everyone who isn’t a racist thug!!!

Nope, other way round. The more violence against Trump and his supporters the more votes he’ll receive.
