An already ugly presidential campaign has descended to a new level - one where the question is no longer whether Donald Trump can be stopped on his march to the GOP presidential nomination, but whether it is possible to contain what he has unleashed across the country.
Violence at Trump's rallies has escalated sharply, and the reality-show quality of his campaign has taken a more ominous turn in the past few days.

GOP political consultant Stuart Stevens, who was a top strategist for 2012 nominee Mitt Romney, said Trump's rhetoric is "almost verbatim" what segregationist George Wallace was saying in his third-party 1968 presidential campaign.
"I don't know what's in Trump's heart, but I don't care. What he's saying is really hateful," Stevens said. "What did the Democratic party do with Wallace? They rejected him."

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton also jumped into the fray.
"The ugly, divisive rhetoric we are hearing from Donald Trump and the encouragement of violence and aggression is wrong, and it's dangerous," she said at an appearance in St. Louis. "If you play with matches, you're going to start a fire you can't control."

Well said!
I don’t get this. The left including professional agitator types, go to Trump events and cause trouble. But the reaction among the liberals, media, and some Republicans, is to blame Trump for the actions of thugs who decide to disrupt his events. Rather than blame the leftist goons who are staging all of this.
What am I missing??
Absolutely scum. The GOPE better wake up. This is a Wellstone Memorial moment and the GOPE are on the WRONG side. Utterly stupid for them to be with the rioters instead of the voters.
A lie screamed loudly is still a lie Washington Po
I'd take that as a death threat.
The article refers to “an unidentified man who charged the podium”.
His name’s Tommy Dimassimo, and he’s a long-term rabble-rouser and ISIS fan.

Speaking of Wallace....
The left is not used to a Republican standing up to the thuggery of their anarchist wing. Cruz, Kasich and Rubio gave the standard capitulation that every Republican does in the face of Democrat violence. Trump is telling the thug class and the media to go pound sad, and so he’s the agitator because be isn’t cowering to any of them.
There you go!
Every Freeper should see this photo!
Is that Papa Bush with a young Bill Clinton? I thought I read their pseudo father/son relationship began after Clinton left the White House?
Yep.
Bushes and Clintons go way back.
This is how communists and islamonazis work. Disrupt free elections. They hate free elections. They want to finish obama’s “legacy” with a permanent new reich or dictatorship.
excellent graphic, post 10
They protest too much in the communist media after all it is their allies doing the protesting,communists,black lives matters,illegal aliens,these are not republicans.
This is what happens FOLKS when you have groups who have no respect for the Constitution or the rule of law,namely Democrats especially Obama and hillary

All the way back to Mena.
the street rabble that’s disrupting our American election is being organized and paid by very powerful large interests (the obvious candidates being the IslamoNazi-communist bloc fromted by O and, behind the scenes...organized by the Soroz network maybe?)anyway, follow the money, pull the rat bosses out of their plush hiding holes and string them up (legally, of course)
