Hillary Clinton On Protests Of Trump: 'Play With Matches, You're Going To Start A Fire You Can't Control'
By KURTIS LEE, March 12, 2016
Democrats offered strong condemnation of Donald Trump on Saturday, pointing to his caustic rhetoric as the igniter of unrest between his supporters and detractors.
Hillary Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, said at a campaign appearance in St. Louis on Saturday that Trump's "divisive rhetoric ... is wrong and it's dangerous." "If you play with matches, you're going to start a fire you can't control. That's not leadership," she said. "That's political arson. The test of leadership and citizenship is the opposite. If you see bigotry, oppose it. If you see violence, condemn it. And if you see a bully, stand up to him." On Friday, Trump canceled a planned rally at the University of Illinois-Chicago as protesters and his supporters confronted one another on the streets and inside the arena where the event was to be held. The fracas was the culmination of months of tensions between Trump supporters and smaller groups of protesters at his rallies, where Trump has urged his backers to defend themselves and said he even wanted to punch protesters himself.

How can Cruz possibly make a one sided defense of free speech when Trump’s campaign manager wrestles to the ground a female reporter from Breibart whose only offense was to try asking him a question as to whether or not he supports affirmative action?
You see, while we must condemn the Chicago acts of thuggery, one weakens one case if you then try to justify the acts of Trump’s campaign manager and for which Trump has not apologized.
First, the elites tried a massive smear campaign against Trump. The smear campaign failed to stop him.
Second, the elites have now initiated mob violence against Trump. It appears not to be working though the jury is still out.
> Third, if mob violence fails to stop Trump's drive towards the nomination the elites will order his assassination. These people are playing for all the marbles and they are not joking. They are desperately frightened of what Trump represents. In there minds he must be stopped
That’s your spin.
Many polls show Trump beating Hillary like a drum which is exactly what he will do.
Cruz worries too much about politically correctness to beat Hillary if either one of them gets past the court cases that are looming.
From the LA Times:
There were catcalls and protesters interrupting the speaker. People shouted, Stop the hate! and one man tried to jump on stage.
It was, in short, a typically rowdy Donald Trump appearance.
But his first rally after a riotous Chicago crowd forced the cancellation of a Friday night stop, an hour-long visit Saturday to an airplane hangar outside Dayton, Ohio, witnessed none of the raw confrontation nor violence that marred the prior event.
There was a moment of drama when Secret Service agents swarmed around Trump after a man hurdled a barrier and attempted to take the stage. He was swiftly detained and a flustered Trump soon regained his composure.
“I was ready for him, but it’s much easier when the cops do the job, don’t we agree?” Trump said to the cheering crowd of about 2,000.
Ted stands with Hillary.
Yeah, um, it was the youtube video Hillary.
There = their Lord I cannot edit my own writings.
Not according to the most recent poll.
Both Hillary and Berne Sanders are shown as beating Trump. This is truly scary and why Trump must not win the nomination or else the COUNTRY is lost forever.

I agree that she loves chaos.
So?? My point stands, Trump has around 50K directly watching his rallys, and there are two more today. That is 150K at today’s rallys alone. This is why he’s going to bury Hillary.
you have drunk the kool ade and are now barfing the sickness
Open a bottle of champagne and celebrate becoming President ?
So when will she stand up and condemn what happened last night?
Hypocrite.
How is Cruz , who is in third place on the Republican side going to beat Hillary ?
Depends on which poll you pick.

My Gut-Check Poll says Trump will clean Hillary’s clock.
I have a Trump Twitter button on my bookmarks bar.
Hope she gets to live out that statement, the arsonist.
“How can Cruz possibly make a one sided defense of free speech when Trumps campaign manager wrestles to the ground a female reporter “
That is proven false by video. It didn’t happen.
