Trump: Thugs will riot if you do not nominate me

[J842P]

I am just trying to imagine Trump supporters rioting in the streets cause their boy got dumped at the convention. Nope. Not even to break into the neighborhood liquor stores for a little looting. The real riot would take place in the voting booths come November. Or more like anti-riot when the Trumsters stay home instead of voting.

We can only hope. Of course, if Hillary is the nominee, the white-hot hatred might inspire them to come out to vote.

I don't understand skepticism that Trump fans cant be violent except that the mode of violence might not be destruction of private property.

That's Don's editorializing.

In my defense, I think it is a logical conclusion.

Given Trump's own use of the term "thug" to describe protesters at his rallies, and given the definition used by some in this forum, rioters are thugs.

Exactly.

 

[credoconsolans]

Let me get this straight. Trump thinks thugs come to his rallies to protest against him. And Trump thinks different thugs will protest if he is not nominated. So, according to Trump, you are a thug whether you are for or against him.

That's Don's editorializing.

Anyway, I think the Trump is right. The Republican party would implode if a brokered convention happened and they gave it to Cruz or Kasich when Trump is the leader. I mean, seriously, you don't think there is a real possibility of riots happening in case of such an event?

I don't. Too many states did NOT vote for him, and you have the whole Democratic side of the nation who'd rather turn left on Elm Street and head for the School Book Depository than see Trump even close to the podium.

And we must ask, who could the GOP insiders put up that would appeal to the Democrats as opposed to Trump? Not Cruz! Not Jeb! as Limbaugh has been suggesting recently. Romney?

Trump is drawing record crowds and his events already have become violent. It doesn't matter if most people don't support him, a sizable group of very angry people do.

The GOP had their man in Kasich, but it's too late. Although he's too conservative to ever get my vote, he could have taken a lot of votes from Hillary and probably have beaten her.

Instead the establishment backed Jeb(!), the fundies backed Cruz, miscellaneous backed Rubio, and the truly fuckheaded went to the Great Pumpkin. But Kasich was ignored because he's not a crazy bastard. He won't promise to get rid of all the married fags, deport the beaners, or nuke the camel-jockeys. Nor did he promise massive tax cuts to stim-a-layt the uh-konomee.

Without the promises to discriminate against the powerless, kill the Other, cleave a bigger gap in income, or be an outright asshole, he never stood a chance.

Kasich should know that good republicans have enemies. Bogeymen. Beaners, Camel Fuckers, whatever.

Well, we don't know why people went to Trump rallies. He gave away a lot of free tickets. I know a lot of people who'd go just for the entertainment value. Sure, there is a percentage of angry people at almost any rally. Doesn't mean they're going to riot.

After all didn't we all hear - for the last 8 years - that there was going to be a new civil war because - Obama?

 

[Sarpedon]

How devious do you suppose Kasich is? The convention will be in Ohio. If there are riots, he can call out the National Guard. A few mass arrests later, Trump loyalists are in jail. Ted Cruz meets with an 'unfortunate accident' in the melee.

You don't need a vote or a majority to riot.

No, but you do need a majority to make a riot mean something. Look at the takeover of that government building by the militants. They expected the "people to rise" and hundreds of like-minded folks to join them.

Nobody gave shit.

A month later, one of them is dead, and the last man standing before being arrested is whining for his weed. Their protest was a complete bust.
