now Trump wins for sure and this looks so bad for democrats

Glad all the drama queens and shivering kitties stay where they are

Btw I have been very misunderstood tonight so I will add people were happy about the size of the crowd and the rally being shut down here
Not about the scuffles INSIDE that all took place after they announced Trump isn't coming

Doesn't anyone think that the Trump crowd was angry about coming all the way into the city and waiting for hours and that they were hot headed?

Even the DJs on the radio ride home were talking about the amazing power of it all ( between songs)not "the horror of it all"
There will be more scuffles at various locations after the St Pats parades than went down today if my past experience is any good marker.
