Clinton is right. Trump is a thin-skinned, rabble-rousing, vulgar con man.

Trump U will sink Trump. Just like Bain allowed America to see Rmoney as a hard-hearted vulture capitalist, Trump U exposes Trump for the fraud he is.

Think about it: why would a so-called billionaire bilk nickel and dimes out marks credit cards? Because that is how he makes his money. He doesn't have billions. He has, at most, a couple of hundred million. And he got it by conning people, with his 'brand."

I am so happy.

We must “condemn all violence in the political arena,” Clinton said. “I don’t think any of this helps anybody.”

Without Trump's offer to pay the legal fees of those who committed violence there might have been less. Trump obviously could care less who gets hurt or injured. That's why he kept the campaign manager who was arrested for assault on a female reporter in Florida.

"That's why he kept the campaign manager who was arrested for assault on a female reporter in Florida."

More BS from a man who will probably wet his pants when Trump wins in November. The reporter---Michelle Fields is her name KC. It's Michelle Fields----was not assaulted. Check out the videos; they're anywhere and can be seen by any person possessing a functioning brain and an ounce of responsibility to seek the truth. Of course some people just prefer parroting a certain narraitve

Violence that resulted in the arrest of Trump's campaign manger is a matter of record.

Secretary Clinton's message is violence is unacceptable to anyone who loves Democracy and respects the American People.

During a rally in Westminster, Calif., Friday, Clinton attacked Trump for saying the federal judge presiding over a case has a conflict of interest because he is “of Mexican heritage.” - article

What the American People hear from Donald J. Trump is the tone deaf appeal to racism. No wonder Rush Limbaugh loves the Trump.

How this bigot can suggest he offers anything but a one trick pony of hate is comical. Trump never tires of hate and his bigots eat from the plate.

What is so disturbing about Speaker of the House Ryan's fawning endorsement is Representative Ryan hitched his cart to a trudging campaign of hate and Trump, with Ryan's help, will pull the GOP-tea into the trash bin of history.

The government has the responsibility to protect all citizens from violence and to freely express themselves. The government obviously failed last night in San Jose. Going forward, there must be zero tolerance for this kind of behavior - enough is enough.

The following is provided to clairify the actual result of the San Jose protest . . .

"The San Jose Police Department told the Daily News late Thursday night that a few arrests had been made, but did not have details about the number or possible charges."

"Sgt. Enrique Garcia said that no significant property damage had been reported, but that one officer was assaulted."

So why did Trump call that judge a Mexican?

A pregnant white woman wearing a Mr. Trump t-shirt who was exercising her Constitutional right to freely assemble gets assaulted by Mrs. Bill "I am for womens' rights" Clinton's supporters. The DNC Super Pac (AKA, the U.S. media) won't report the truth because the truth hurts their agenda.

Mrs. Clinton ought to be blaming the Mexican flag waving thugs who actually committed the attacks. No one can MAKE you do anything, actions are a choice you make. . . Oh, wait, I forgot. These knuckle draggers are part of her voter base. Never mind. . . .

What a bunch of BS! Yes, Trump is thin-skinned, so are Hillary and Obama.

Clinton has No room to talk, the woman flat out refuses to take questions, ANY hard-hitting questions that question her ethical integrity. Sure, Trump is a loudmouth, but at least he's accessible to the media, all of them. Hillary won't go near FOX, the biggest that would give her the biggest exposure to her supporters as well as her doubters. She won't go on to debate Bernie. Both are thin-skinned, the difference is, Trump will get in your face and fight back, Hillary, will selectively scrutinize people who are allowed to only ask her specific questions because she's too thin-skinned to take the tough questioning.

Trump U will sink Trump. Just like Bain allowed America to see Rmoney as a hard-hearted vulture capitalist, Trump U exposes Trump for the fraud he is.

70% of Americans think that Trump University should continue.

Think about it: why would a so-called billionaire bilk nickel and dimes out marks credit cards? Because that is how he makes his money. He doesn't have billions. He has, at most, a couple of hundred million. And he got it by conning people, with his 'brand.

Hmmm, Trump a billionaire has hundreds of staff employees and the man can't keep up with everything. Hillary spends over 40 min. criticizing Trump hoping and praying to have some of this attention drawn away from her own problems and I don't blame her considering the hot water she's in. Again, if liberals think Trump will get locked up or this will sink his cadency i any way, you guys will be so desperately disappointed.

Without Trump's offer to pay the legal fees of those who committed violence there might have been less.

What about the thousands of ANTI-protesters that committed 99.9% of the violence the past few months. Just saw an Anti-protester getting punched in the mouth for supporting Trump and a woman being pelted with eggs. Liberals idea of FREEdom of speech is to silence opposing FREE speech from anyone that disagrees with the Liberal progressive mantra.

Trump obviously could care less who gets hurt or injured.

You mean, the ANTI-protesters could care less who they attack, they don't care about other peoples property, they don't care about dissent, they don't care about the American Flag, they ONLY care about assaulting other people, dividing people, bullying people and using violence, physical violence to make a political point. I have never seen a conservative riot, been looking, but so far nothing. Liberals need to get a life and leave people alone to do as they please.

That's why he kept the campaign manager who was arrested for assault on a female reporter in Florida.

That was found completely innocent and remember, a push isn't equal to an assault, unless you are a prissy spoiled thin-skinned person.

An interview with Trump about the "Mexican" judge:

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/donald-trump-jake-tapper-gonzalo-curiel-223889

“Jake, I'm building a wall. OK? I'm building a wall. I'm trying to keep business out of Mexico. Mexico's fine,” Trump said.

“But he’s an American,” Tapper responded.

“He’s of Mexican heritage,” Trump said. “And he’s very proud of it, as I am of where I come from.”

“But he’s an American,” Tapper reiterated. “You keep talking about it’s a conflict of interest because of Mexico.”

Later in the extended back-and-forth on the issue, the CNN host asked Trump whether his assertion that Curiel’s heritage makes him unable to do his job is “the definition of racism.” Trump said it was not.

Justifying Trump's racism with his incompetence?

Maybe Trump's campaign manager should be replaced with a rubber mallet. At leaste that would do less damage than Trump's repeated calls for violence against protesters at his Loyalty Rallies and Pledges of Allegiance to Trump.

The record shows Trump shrieking to punch protesters in the face, at one point Trump shrieked HE would punch a protester in the face. The greatest part of Trump's fraud campaign is Trump.

Yeah, yeah, got it! Calls for violence, understand! Now who ARE the people that are doing the violence that we see at Trump rallies? Who are the people punching people in the face and defacing property and burning American flags? Who are the people throwing eggs? Conservatives? It's liberal progressive moonbats inciting violence.

The record shows Trump shrieking to punch protesters in the face, at one point Trump shrieked HE would punch a protester in the face. The greatest part of Trump's fraud campaign is Trump.

Got it! Now answer the question, show me a video of loose rampant conservative doing the same thing that the ANTI-Trump protesters are doing.

Mrs. Bill Clinton is taking a page out of Obama's playbook. Non-partisan, independent voters like myself know blaming someone else for the violent actions they advocate is typical of leftists. Nothing is ever their fault. Blame rests squarely on the Mexican flag waving "protesters" who targeted and assaulted pregnant women and the sponsors who paid them . . . .

Donald John Trump, racist, was confirmed by House Speaker Ryan as a detestable bigot. Trump's demands for riots and offers to pay legal fees for violence against protesters again crippled the GOP-tea candidate and bigot in chief.

Ryan told WISN in Milwaukee, "Look, the comment about the judge the other day just was out of left field for my mind. ... I completely disagree with the thinking behind that."

Trump told The Wall Street Journal the judge in the lawsuit against him over Trump University has "an absolute conflict" of interest because of his "Mexican heritage."

Trump has so completely destroyed the credibility of the Republican brand the only supporters left for Trump's degenerate ramblings are fleeing the disaster that is Trump's camapign of hate.

With only five months left to the November election, Trump continues to offer only hatered for Mexicans both Secretary Clinton and now Speaker of the House Ryan condemn.

"Trump told The Wall Street Journal the judge in the lawsuit against him over Trump University has "an absolute conflict" of interest because of his "Mexican heritage."

Donald John Trump based his campaign on hate.

Trump called Mexicans rapists on the opening day of his quest to Make America Hate Again.

Now, the vulture capitalist, under prosecution for fraud in California and New York, has continued his demand for violence based on heritage. If Trump had done the same to Italian Americans, even with his dodgy background with the mob, he would have a lot more to worry about than where to buy his Chinese hats from.

Sin upon sin upon sin, the once laughable promoter of racism in his 'birther' campaign against the color of President Obama's skin, has morphed into a sink hole of lost souls crying that his racism is 'only just a little bit revolting'.

We wish Mr. Trump well on his trip upstate to the Clinton Correctional Facility where he will spent many hours making close persoanl friendships with the inmates who love the Trump.

If its one thing I hate, its the Mexican flag waving. If the do it on Cinco de Mayo or on Mexico's Independence Day, I have no problem with it.

But when they're doing it just to act like idiots, like they have been lately, I do have a problem with it. That and assaulting a preg. American woman. They also like to bash police cars and incite flare-ups which can lead to rioting.

"A former reporter for Breitbart, Michelle Fields, sought charges against Lewandowski after an incident in March where she said Lewandowski pulled her away from Trump as she was trying to ask him a question. Aronberg said police were within their right to charge Lewandowski, but prosecutors are held to a higher standard and thus didn't find enough (evidence) to bring the case."

Democrats and Republicans alike secretly understand the devil inside her. She has time and time again exposed her weakness to the world,has made major political mistakes. Let's not forget how much bad mouthing and hatred both her and Bill were throwing around when she was up against Obama for Prez. She Lost that election and has been bitter ever since. Old ways do not work anymore.The people now see her for what she truly is.You have to ask yourself who is the real con artist here?

"Donald Trump has “lowered the bar” with regard to keeping the peace at his rallies" - article

International readers should consider not only the issue of Trump's demands for violence as the hallmark of his campaign. Trump's contempt for law, also condemned by Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, the following sourced document shows Trump, and his supporters, are backing the bigot to the detriment of the rule of law in the States.

The small minded 'tweet' mentality of Trump's fans only confirms their inability to think past their need for racial hatred and religious prejudice. While vocal and stunningly dense, they do not represent Americans. They represent the hate Trump validates to feed his ego.

"International readers should consider not only the issue of Trump's demands for violence as the hallmark of his campaign."

Care to quote a "source" for that? I think I already know; the Huffington Post in a piece dated March 10, 2016 that has been disproven time-and-time again.

Or perhaps you are referring to this: "I think we'll win before getting to the convention but I can tell you, if we didn't and if we're 20 votes short or if we're, if we're, you know, a hundred short, and we're at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400, because we're way ahead of everybody, I don't think you can say that we don't get it automatically. I think it would be -- I think you would have riots. I think you would have riots."

This comes from FOX News March 16, 2016 (and the video is there for objective viewing). Trump is not advocating violence he is afraid that people may riot if they feel the system has been undermined. Guess what? It hasn't, he doesn't and there has been no further talk of riots.

I wouldn't blame any of the cowardly violence on the Clinton or Sanders followers. The cowardly violence is all on the MSM. Notice how many attacks are sucker hits, hit and run away. The reason is they have no conviction to stand up and fight for what they believe in, my guess would be, because they don't believe in anything but protecting their turf.. They are just a mess of emotions walking along the Yellow Brick Road in quiet desperation with no heart, guts or brains. There is no law and order in California. So many cities are divided up between gang turfs. I was once a victim of this racism. The two locals I was bike-riding with hightailed it out of there when the gang showed up. A 15 year old mex-american was pressing me to buy him some beer. I refused and told him to get his older brother to buy it for him. I'll be damed if I'm gonna feel afraid in my own country, but the sad reality is most people are. Why? Because it's a great control mechanism. No wonder they want to flood refugees into Europe, creating a destabilizing situation between the population so the elite can keep running things their way. The violence I saw on the videos is nothing but gangsters protecting their turf. Gangsters people, not Clinton or Sanders supporters, waving Mexican flags and burning American ones. I notice some posters here are avoiding the discussion, aside from "oh I don't condone the violence" then revert back to their typical name calling and MSM talking points. If we want America to survive in the future while keeping our liberties, which I do, then it's obvious that we need to break away from the rest of the world and take care of our citizens. I like Bernie Sanders but we are not yet ready for his social engineering. Europe was doing very well for itself until they decided to become "multicultural". I read that there are a lot of ME immigrants in Sweden who have chosen to remain unemployed for over 15 years. This is not sustainable for any country. The Chinese government should never have been given a most favored nation trade status. This is the result of a Dem/Rep/corporate/Bankster immoral decision. Where corporate greed is placed above the needs of your own people.

On June 2, a few days before the California primary, Hillary Clinton gave up trying to compete with Bernie Sanders on domestic policy. Instead, she zeroed in on the soft target of Donald Trump’s most “bizarre rants” in order to present herself as experienced and reasonable. Evidently taking her Democratic Party nomination for granted, she is positioning herself as the perfect candidate for hawkish Republicans.

"Donald Trump . . . of facing up to the facts that are coming out…he wants to change the subject and he is attacking a distinguished jurist.” . . . "the federal judge presiding over a case has a conflict of interest because he is “of Mexican heritage.” - article

Trump has repeated time and again this logic . . .

The law doesn't matter because of an Indiana (USA) born Federal Judge's heritage.

Trump has based his campaign on this sort of prejudice but it isn't a political trick. It is pervasive in Trump's heritage of demonization and ignorance.

Trump continued. "We have been taken advantage of by everybody." "I'm building a wall. I'm trying to keep business out of Mexico."

source: "Trump Defends Criticism Of Judge With Mexican Heritage"*

The billionaire is being charged with fraud and claims that "everybody" is taking advantage of HIM.

The portrait of psychological disturbance includes then paranoia and narcissism.

That goes well beyond Clinton's mild claim that Donald J. Trump is “temperamentally unfit”.

What it indicates is Trump's fragile and erratic mental state. The facts are quite different from Trump's prejudice filled cries of victimhood.

"[New York Attorney General Eric] Schneiderman sued Trump University in 2013 alleging it committed fraud and fleeced 5,000 people out of millions of dollars." . . . "New York’s state Supreme Court ruled that Trump University operated illegally in New York as an unlicensed educational institution."

source: "Donald Trump Slams Federal Judge In That Racist Way Only Trump Can"

While protesters are offended by Trump's racist appeals and contempt for the laws of the United States, the solution is to let Trump continue his rants.

Trump hasn't anything the American People want in a President and Trump's answer is to blame the truth and the "losers", the American People.

Here is what Trump actually said, “We’re in front of a very hostile judge,” Mr. Trump said. “The judge was appointed by Barack Obama, federal judge. Frankly, he should recuse himself because he’s given us ruling after ruling after ruling, negative, negative, negative.” ... "I’m telling you, this court system, judges in this court system, federal court, they ought to look into Judge Curiel. Because what Judge Curiel is doing is a total disgrace, OK?"

Trump is against the judge's stance and his appointment by a liberal president, not because of his heritage. The whole "Trump hates judge because he's hispanic" is another typical straw-man creation of the Left.

Wow, first time I've heard this argument. Perhaps it is true that Trump's true beef with a federal judge is the man who appointed him; however, the vastly larger number of comments from Trump regarding Curiel's ethnicity over his political pedigree makes this unlikely, and in the end, the distinction makes no difference. By trying to game the judicial system, Trump undermines the entirety of the American political system.

Sam, taken to its logical conclusion, Trump's argument would affirm the political correctness that he and so many Republicans rail against: black defendants should be able to demand black judges; homosexuals, homosexual judges - etc., and if denied, the system is unfair! Seriously - do you want to go there?

@laguna

It's not about his ethnicity, it's his views and conduct. He is a member of La Raza which supports open borders and encourages illegal immigration, and with his 'mistake' of releasing sensitive documents, Trump was justified in questioning this judges professionalism in what is merely civil case.

@Laguna. You make a valid point. My main reason for posting was to counter kcjapan and people who hate Trump to the point that they believe anything Trump does is due to his being a racist or a bigot. Trump wanting to end illegal immigration does not equal Trump hates Hispanics. There are a whole host of other issues but this one seems to get the most play.

He is a member of La Raza...

Kabuki, I'd encourage you to study this a bit. There exists no such singular organization - you're confusing the political group and the professional group to which the judge belongs.

...anything Trump does is due to his being a racist or a bigot.

Sam, I agree with you to a point: Trump at his age is probably no less prejudiced than many of his peers - but that is still unacceptable in today's America. It was one thing for him to point to a black audience member during his San Jose speech and said "look at my African-American over here!" and quite another to undermine judicial independence. It would be less scary if he hadn't commented both on revisiting Curiel's career status and siccing the Attorney General on Hillary if he wins the election. Imagine a country in which political opponents and independent judiciary must beware of elective results - that is Russia, not America. And yet Trump has suggested all of this.

Okay, maybe it's all just rhetoric. Maybe. I sure as hell am not going to take that chance - I have kids.

better than obama's Lemon Then you are a racist as you admit (call me Lemon all you want and I'm not sure what it means). Let's go over this.... OK, then you say that all Mexicans do nothing in the USA except rape and kill white Americans. You want them all rounded up Nazi/Hitler style. You want Mexicans shot (including women and children) for jumping the fence with no warning. You are OK with American Indians being kicked off their land for the 10B dollar wall (which will only require a 10 dollar ladder or a five dollar shovel- take your pick) You also call the judge in charge of Trump U. case a stupid Mexican and should go back to Mexico where he was born. You also (like Trump) think Japanese people are no good because they don't buy American cars and that Trump will punish Japan severely when he becomes president . Japan will feel the wrath of Trump when he is elected and make Japan like a third world country. You align yourself with the Bundies and the KKK. If you want to believe that being racist like that is better than being a Lemon then OK.

Wow the American political partisan hacks are out in force gain. It does not even matter what the name is - they would lob the same hysterical partisan political talking point against any one from the other political parts. What is absolutely insane is that these fanatics seriously tell us that their party is all good and the other is all evil, and that this is a serious choice. How naive can one be.

It's too bad Christie dripped out. Seems reasonable. In fact he's like a fat white Obama - He expanded ObamaCare Medicaid. Christie is not a hating racist, Trump is. Christie is at least smart enough to realize that all the Mexicans need to jump with 10 billion dollar wall is a 10 dollar ladder. I liked Christie, and I wish he would rejoin the race.

they are NOT ;protests but planed mob tactics of bullying and should be outlawed by regulations against any candidate but you notice they are being used by the liberal followers in their attempt to force mob rule on the US...sad stuff to see and really silly but Trump will win and will save the country thank God.

@WC626: I thought you supported Sanders all the time. You have never been racist,

GNC Chair person of Latin American something resigned.

Riotters in San Jose, some were arrested.

Sanders think he will win Calif. Later NV primary Minority people members supporting Hillary are increased. Just like Calif.

Sorry Hillary, Bernie and Democrats. Hillary and Bernie and Democrats have proven they will use violence, riots, assaulting women, assaulting elderly, assaulting disabled as well as assaulting veterans to terrorize people who do not adhere to their ideology and give proper deference to their elites. These assaults at trump rallies entirely violent Democrats and these actions prove that party is tyrannical and it's followers nothing more than a Lynch mob.lynching is also Democrat party approved f ft on years ago, when Democrats created and sustained segregation. Clearly Democrats are flawed in character. They keep voting in corrupt criminals and socialists and assaulting anyone who doesn't like their choice.

I'm fine with Republicans using a small group of protesters to define Democrats. I'll just use Trump to define all Republicans.

@nishikat

Let me get this straight, you think that stoning people for exercising their rights of free assembly is perfectly okay. Blindsiding a person with a bag full of rocks, leaving them dazed and bleeding, is fine. All these acts of intolerance and hateful bigotry are just peachy because a group of demonstrators, not associated with Trump, occupied a remote Federal facility to protest Federal Bureau of  Land Management practices?

It might be noted that at no time did the protesters fire their weapons at law enforcement (local or federal) and the only shots fired were by police and FBI when they killed the groups spokesman with three shots to his back as he was getting out of his truck. It might also be noted that the FBI agents involved repeatedly lied about their role in the killing and failed to disclose that they fired their weapons at the protester. Evidence at the scene determined that the FBI was not telling the truth and resulted in an investigation by the local Oregon police and the US Department of Justice.

If you feel that the incident in Oregon is justification for stoning innocent American citizens then you are definitely barking up the wrong tree. Your insistence that an entire group of people deserve to be stoned just because they hold a political view different from you, is bigotry of the highest order.

"My main reason for posting was to counter kcjapan and people who hate Trump to the point that they believe anything Trump does is due to his being a racist or a bigot." - comments

A carefully prepared argument.

However, the posts, anyone may reference, are not about "belief". It would be fair to state they are about facts not some imaginary "hate for Donald J. Trump".

In contrast to un-sourced claims and opinions, all perfectly understandable from Trump's admirers, what the reader sees instead are quotes from independent sources and legal proceedings documented in the public record.

What is offered as "they believe anything Trump does is due to his being a racist or a bigot" is actually verifiable judgment.

Donald J. Trump's history of using race to create a racist 'birther' condemnation of President Obama's heritage based on skin color; the incomprehensible Trump refusing to condemn Holocaust Denier David Duke; outrageous filth about Mexicans are rapists and an ongoing fraud where Trump complains the Federal Judge is Mexican even though he was born in the USA.

Trump's spittle of anger is certainly a contagious condition but has no place in driving personal attacks on sourced quotes available for anyone to reference.

What is galling is the expectation from some American commenters who demand anyone who cites fact is a fraud bent on fabrication of "evidence".

That is Trump's tactic. Why credit another with Trump's tactics, crimes and deceptions?

Why aren't Trump's fans proud to embrace Trump as he is, a mentally disturbed paranoiac narcissist using race and prejudice to fuel hate and drive the most vulnerable to chant their worst and deepest hatreds? So far this has dismantled the GOP-tea and that is what Trump supporters claim they want.

Perhaps they expect silence in the face of religious prejudice and race based accusations Trump provides at every Loyalty Rally where the faithful Trump-aholic pledges allegiance to Donald J. Trump.

Donald J Trump is the most ridiculous candidate that ever there was. But it's not his fault. The blame lies entirely at the feet of the insane Republican party that allowed this man to perform his hostile takeover. And it will destroy them. It's beautiful...

@kcjapan

Are you saying that Trump is in control of the Anti-Trump protesters or that Anti- Trump protesters are just demonstrating their own worst and deepest hatreds?

-2 ( +1 / -3 )

@kcjapan. And once again you lie and distort. From your claim that Michelle Fields was assaulted to your ascertion that Trump calls all Mexicans rapists (the actual sourced quote is below), you play fast and loose with the truth. I guess it's to be expected; you on the Left for years controlled the media and this total dominance allowed you to believe that anyone who disagreed with you was at the least stupid and at worst morally corrupt. Then news information competition arrived and you went beserk and when social media allowed access to all the news and not just your cherry-picked version and allowed it to be shared, you went into a hysterical mode from which you have never left.

Either way, fine. I am voting for Trump because he is the only candidate who, in my opnion, will curb illegal immigration and prevent amnesty and secure the border which are three issues that affect the country as much as any other. I want a president who will uphold the laws, make decisions based on what's good for Americans and not vested interests and discuss issues without the ball-and-chain of politically correct speech. Will Trump deliver? I don't know. But I sure as heck know Bernie, Hillary or any of the other lifers in Washington won't.

By the way, here is your quote regarding "Trump-calls-all-Mexicans-rapists." It's from the Washington Post---a newspaper that hates Trump almost as you likely hate me.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
