Trump wants to give acceptance speech at the White House? Does anyone remember 1968 in Chicago...

....when antiwar protestors were at war with the police? How about massive crowds around the White House, both pro-Trump Magas and bikers, and peaceful anti-Trump protestors being dispersed by para-military government agents, as tear gas swirls around Washington, DC? Think that's a good visual for the Republicans? Add a few Moms dressed in yellow and D.C. police on horseback and it will be quite a spectacle.

Really, it's the only way he can get anyone to pay attention to him. So pathetic and corrupt.
