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.

It was completely full inside, standing room only. About three thousand turned away.
Very impressive considering the 405/55 freeway area is heavily congested at the time.
Trump kept saying 31k but that was tickets distributed.
I didn’t know there was book on Ted Cruz.
"Is it that obvious?"
I think Hillary has a close race with Sander’s, so her voters can’t afford to vote for Cruz.
Why is he wearing 2 watches? What kind of guy does that?
I heard it was ghost written by Donald Trump
She actually lost WI because they crossed over to vote for Cruz. Though WI is a very liberal state compared to Indiana. Less voters to vote strategically as they say.
Also my daughter and friends.
apparently one of the “watches” is Fitbit, which uses gps to track your exercise etc.
Ted Cruz’ fitness report for today reads:
ran from Pennsylvania to California this morning, at an average speed of 550 mph !
Great photo!
I’ve seen several bands play here during the fair season & have never seen a packed house like this. Impressive crowd!
I had an uncle who traveled a lot on business. had two watches. One for hos home time zone and one for local time. That is the least weird thing about Cruz. There is so much
Ha!
Interesting, I did not know people kept separate fit bit watches.
Thanks!
The leftist mob violence will escalate through the summer.
And 7 or so in Indiana - where Cruz decided to make his "last stand" after being routed in the North East....
How about "tens of thousands of supporters" for the lead-in!!!
See how the enemedia does it, FRiends?

According to some radio guy in southern California who said he had gotten a copy of Trump’s internal polls Trump is ahead of Cruz by 19 points in Indiana.
Wouldn't doubt it - Indiana was where Cruz turned as he got crushed in the North East. Too little way too late and Carly probably tipped the scales even further against him.
I'm starting to feel good about Trump's getting more than the requisite delegates for a first round nod - with eyes clenched tight and teeth grinding by those having to make the announcement ;-)
