3. OK. But frankly, at some point , he's also got to tell them to fuck off.

I'm pretty sure they're paid; but even if they're just stupid, it makes him look un-presidential if a handful of screaming blackshirts takes over his mic and sends him packing while 10,000 supporters are waiting to hear him speak.

Inevitable comparisons will be drawn: is this what he's going to do when faced w. ISIS? ( i.e. throw up his hands and walk away?)

What if Israel decides to just annex the west band and repatriate it's inhabitants? ("Whattayagonnado?" It WON'T FLY.)

What about every other set of bad guys/gals in the world?

*No BACKBONE* will be the way it's played in $$$ media.

Putting him in this position.... confronting #blackshirtsmatter ... i.e. blackshirts ACTING IN THE NAME of #BLM, and so far indistinguishable from the larger movement... is doubtless part of the desired outcome ( i.e. from the blackshirts pov, and from the pov of whomever , if anyone, is paying them.). The assumption is he'll escalate the situation and be seen as hostile toward blacks and the AA vote will go to Clinton. ( Or "Ms. Arkansas Confederate Flag at the Statehouse"... as I like to call her.)

Or he'll them shut him the FUCK down.

At some point he's got to take on their fascist tactics directly. Can't let a handful of malevolent-but-useful-idiots take your whole campaign away.
