Figuring no publicity is bad publicity. Trump is horseshit.

Was trying to figure out where other related threads were getting their information. Looks like a certain type of young adult males behaving badly. Mostly people taking pictures and video, but a few participants. You'd think the police would have anticipated this and set up a barrier no-protest zone for the Trump supporters to have egress. Although it was probably good the police backed off instead of inciting the young men more. I like that Hillary called out against it. Podesto, though, is hardly one to talk.

Anything from Trump or Sanders yet?
