Trump protesters drive up Trump's popularity

Last night, both inside and outside Trump's Albuquerque rally, violent protesters were again throwing rocks, burning American flags, waving Mexican flags, and physically intimidating those entering and leaving the rally.   What jackasses !  They are like an unpaid "Get out the Vote" (for Trump) campaign army !  People who might not be otherwise attracted to Trump's "America First" message will look at these violent attempts to stifle the free speech of their fellow Americans and conclude Trump is the person they want to be the next president.  If you're a Trump supporter you may secretly wish the protests get larger and even more violent. The larger and more violent the protests get, the more votes Trump will get.

Don't they realize that many people see these violent outbursts and think, "Trump is right."
They make his case for him. 

Many of last night's protesters carried signs saying "Trump is a fascist" without recognizing - they are the fascists. They are the same type of wannabe street thugs and protesters that infested the streets of Berlin, and later became the infamous "brown shirts" who brought to  power the most famous Socialist of all, the Fuhrer of the "National Socialist Workers Party" (aka Nazi), Adolph Hitler.

Meanwhile, the two flailing Democrat presidential candidates, likely to lose this Fall, are not repudiating  what is happening at the Trump rallies. They are not speaking out against the actions
of their violent supporters. Perhaps they can't because they're part of the liberal progressive cabal which hopes to shut down any speech which does does not support their Orwellian fantasies.  In their world, silence is not only golden, it is obedience.

But both Bernie and Hillary are missing both the point - and the boat. By not calling their supporters to account and speaking out against the violence done to rally-goers and  the First Amendment, they lose an opportunity to appear presidential and be presidential.

Their silence, at the end of the day, will cost them the election.

I like the idea of a pro-American president -  after 8 years of an ant-American president. Build the wall, put these abusive illegal alien agitators and welfare sponges back on the other  side of it where they belong, and don't let them back in.  As Trump says, "you come here legally or you don't come here at all."

(that's my message, too)
