Trump's stage-rusher just interviewed on CNN. ISIS my aunt Fanny...

I'd never advocate what he did but he seems like an idealistic, well-meaning guy who wanted to get to Trump's mic and tell people that we have to rise up and not let him get away with his hateful rhetoric. It was a pretty crazy thing to do but he was released with very minor charges so I guess the Secret Service didn't think him a threat.

He was actually pretty eloquent about how Trump's hate speech is speaking to the fear in his flock and taking advantage of them rather than actually trying to help them.

So of course Donald will continue to say he has ISIS ties, because for the moment that is what will make him the victim and stoke the hate.

Bernie said he couldn't be held accountable for what everybody who voted for him did. But he did it with relative grace.

So it probably won't break him. If he has a fund though it's worth contributing to.

maybe he wanted to be a martyr.

I don't like any of this. Mob intimidation and shutting down campaign events.

people rushing the podium when the candidate is speaking.

people sneaking into an event to interrupt, yell and disrupt.

if right wing goons were doing this at Hillary rallies or Sanders rallies, people on this site would be screaming bloody murder.

but since it is against people we don't like, then that's ok.
