Rioting Only Makes Trump Stronger (lefties find their tactics backfire)

I noticed a rash of "concerned" left wing writers declaring that the anti-Trump rioters are now hurting the cause. They don't decry the rioters because of their tactics but because it now is helping Trump. When the rioters and disruption first appeared the leftists and Ted Cruz all blamed Trump and not the rioters. They thought this would make Trump less popular and intimidate Trump and his supporters. It backfired on the left.

It backfired on Cruz, too.

The decent and patriotic citizens are watching and taking note - they have ever more reason to vote in November...

God, how I remember all those spoiled brat suburban kids who were fellow Poli Sci majors at IU in the late 1970s. They lapped up the “workers control the means of production” crap from the communist professors. They never spent a 90 degree day operating a 94 pound jackhammer with those workers like I did. What the hell kind of future did they have with no real employment prospects?

Oh yeah, that’s right. They run Washington D.C.

I think we should encourage them, it is good for Trump.

This riots will make Trump stronger, but when they get out of control and the killing starts, what have we gained. A total out of control Country.

If they push things too far, there might need to be some extraordinary action.Look, it’s obvious that Trump will be president in January. So, if rioting spreads over the summer and Ozero lets it happen, there would be a strong case for the military stepping in and putting Trump in charge a little early in order to restore order.

This is harkening back to ‘68 when the silently majority saw the violence and rioting in the streets.

Nixon rode it to the White House.

Anybody protesting with a mask on their face should be arrested immediately.

“Anybody protesting with a mask on their face should be arrested immediately.”

Absolutely.

[Biggirl]

Because these concerned left wing folks KNOW that those who riot have simply handed the election to the Donald.

<>Lefties are so dumb as to think rioting in the streets will push people away from Trump. It will do exactly the opposite.

Exactly. We are tired of their temper tantrums and constant whining.

Buck up little campers and fear not. The adults are about to resume control.

Beautiful! Send your idea to the campaign.

Democrat thugs are showing the world their true colors at every Trump rally. Even the little liberal liars in the MSM can’t cover up the blood running down innocent citizens faces...

Water cannons will work for me!
