Trump's Anti-GOP Complaints Are Big News, While Threats to Anti-Trump GOPers Are Ignored

On April 13, ABC’s World News Tonight correspondent Tom Llamas devoted most of that night’s report to chilling death threats against the Colorado state Republican party chairman, angered at how Donald Trump failed to win any delegates at the weekend party convention.
Besides that one report, and two minor mentions (one on ABC’s Good Morning America and on Thursday’s CBS Evening News), that’s all the broadcast news attention given to reports of actual death threats in this increasingly nasty presidential race: 110 seconds in total, not a moment of which was on NBC.
But since the Colorado convention through Thursday night (April 10 through April 14), the broadcast networks have aired a collective 45 minutes, 30 seconds of coverage of Trump’s complaints that the GOP nominating system is “crooked” and “rigged.” That’s 24 TIMES more airtime spent on Trump’s grievance about the process, vs. death threats against anti-Trump Republicans.

Trump's people are threatening delegates and anyone who criticizes them, and the liberal media is not covering it. It's obvious they want Trump to be the nominee. (He's the one Republican whom polls show cannot beat Hillary.)

They’ll go after him hammer and tongs, like they did McCain/Palin once they’re the nominated.

The press is ignoring a story that could make Donald J. Trump look bad? How is that possible?

Emails can be easily tracked, if there really are threatening emails, turn them over to the authorities, and press charges.
This might be very similar to the “hate-crime” hoaxes, where the “victim” turns out to be the one who is actually the perp.

Could be.
Then again, it could be legit. I’ll need to see more than this individual just saying he’s received threatening emails because of the reason you just stated

"... Too many fake hate crimes....".... Yup .... Swings both ways. Trick is figuring out what is real and what isn't .... Before the next leader of the free world dons the mantel. Then you are left wondering if the right person was chosen. But that's OK .... you will have the next four years after that to figure that out!
.... Just like we did almost 8 years ago.

Threats of protests are not threats of violence. If anything I think Cruz people are projecting their own insecurities about the unethical activities they’ve been engaging in.

Everything Trump does is news. He owns each day’s news cycle.

They’ll go after him hammer and tongs, like they did McCain/Palin once they’re the nominated. But they'll shower Ted with rose petals, all the way to the White House, right?

As you may have learned through the nominating process, unlike McCain, this one will fight back until he wins.

A guy yesterday posted a hyperlink to the leaning Cruz PA delegate list that contained their names, addresses and emails. I can’t see a member of the RNC doing that. So, where did he get the list? It was probably a Trump operative thinking he was doing his job at making a mess of things. I asked the person who did this if he was so enamored at posting these delegates info he should also post his private information on the thread for all of us to see.
