If you're right, and he wanted this, why would he want this? In theory he honestly wants to become president. This doesn't help him with that.

Urban vs Not-urban (Suburbs + Rural).

The same thing would have happened if he'd tried to rally in any major West Coast City but San Diego, or NYC, Boston, etc.

Trump is a great unifier.

And people here really think this guy has a shot. Really.

GOP will use this to argue for a brokered convention for sure.

Hopefully we're finally seeing the end of the Drumpf campaign. Sadly, we're not anywhere close to seeing the end of the racist hatred in America.

"liberation, not deportation"

"we are not rapists"

So sad that the far right racist love of Trump has brought us to the brink of him being a major candidate. and yet, so proud of my fellow progressives that are taking to the streets and not accepting this disgrace laying down. i wish we were civilized enough that protests like this were never necessary, but proud that we can have them when needed.

just please be safe, everyone.
