Trump Cancels Cincinnati Rally

http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/03/trump-cancels-cincinnati-rally

Donald Trump has canceled its rally in Cincinnati scheduled for Sunday afternoon:

The Secret Service security supporting the GOP presidential front runner's campaign could not complete its preparation work in time to hold the event at the Duke Energy Convention Center, said Eric Deters, a local spokesman for Trump's campaign. "Trump wants to come here, and the campaign is still looking to find a location for either Sunday or Monday," Deters said.

He sees none of this as the result of his actions.

It's almost as if he wants the protesters to show up so he has someone to point to and blame.

Check that - it's exactly like that.

Actually be incapable of holding s political rally at any major city in America before?

I certainly can't think of any.

in states because he got so much free "news" time, now he's discovered he gets even MORE coverage if he plans a rally and then does NOT show up. And let's his fans and detractors slug it out on the streets under live helicopter shots. Step two for him is to be on every talk show and network saying "well this just shows you can't even have a rally in America anymore"

Networks nod and pass on Trump's delusional conclusions, ignoring the fact that Bernie (and Hillary) have massive gatherings with no issues whatsoever, other than where to hold all the supporters.

No, he know exactly what he's doing. Playing the media like a fiddle.

Literally everyone is picking on your fascist who by name is large group of thugs. Truth be known fascist thugs should be picked on constantly before an army is required to crush them.

Trump is the type who will bully from a distance but never confront those he hates face to face. I would imagine the SS has had warnings that Trump has threats/contracts out due to his nasty/mouthy demeanor. People can only take so much of that before they get so angry they must act.

Thou shalt call violence "Trumpnosis" as his followers have got to be hypnotized by his plain and in-your-face obnoxious speech. That's how they like it. To me, it's a male version of Palinitis. Remember her followers?

The Republican Party has become a cult of the nastiest kind.

Yeah, I know, he CREATES the chaos or instigates it, even more than simply not preventing it.
What disastrous and dangerous times these are. So hard to predict where this is all heading?

If the GOP hands it off to the just-as-despicable Cruz... Just ugggh. This is all so disturbing.

No way does he go downtown. Already the whites in Cincinnati pretty much hate going downtown (brown people --- eeek) and racist central is Butler and Warren county (Boehner's area)

The next closest thing he's got is Lakota High School's auditorium set up outdoors at VOA park. Even then he'd be easily hacked by the people in Forest Park and all the H1B immigrants in Mason.

Now that people are fighting back he's got no good places to go.
