Later Trump said this to the crowd: “That was not the easiest entrance I’ve ever made. It felt like I was crossing the border actually. I was crossing the border, but I got here.”Incredible. @realDonaldTrump avoids protesters via highway shoulder, ditch behind hotel to enter CA @GOP event https://t.co/qAAxwfNTbG— Errol Barnett (@ErrolCNN) April 29, 2016
Yeah, don't expect this to cause Trump to suddenly feel empathy for undocumented Mexicans coming to America for work. That would require some growth on the part of the Donald and let's face it the only thing that grows on him is his gut.
This is what Trump was scrambling through the underbrush to avoid.

Can you imagine a Trump presidency?A wall of cops: The view of the #cagop protests as delegates walk to their cars pic.twitter.com/rePJkXhiTL— Josh Harkinson (@JoshHarkinson) April 29, 2016
We would literally have people in the streets protesting every damn day.
In other Donald Trump news the female journalist who wrote an article about Melania Trump is harassed and threatened online by Trump supporters, Trump picked up the endorsement of the Grand Imperial Wizard of the KKK, and the Trump campaign is now actively wooing disgruntled Bernie Sanders' supporters.
And do you know what? Some of them might very well go with Donald Trump.
What was that Alfred said in the movie "The Dark Knight?"
"Some men aren't looking for anything logical. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
At this point, I'm starting to agree with Alfred...as an old, unregenerate hippie, I say, try to change the world for the better or shut up and polish your "amazing" chains. (Thanks, Karl Marx. And YEAH, I'm looking at you, whiny millennials.)
ReplyDeleteBbbut the millennials tweet!
DeleteSigned
Another old hippy
To anyone who wants to vote for an egomaniacal, misogynistic, racist asshole---they should run to Trump. If they happen to be pissed off Sanders supporters then they didn't get what Bernie was talking about in the beginning. But they need to vote how they seem fit.
ReplyDeleteHell-- the Dems survived PUMA in 2008.
I think they can survive the Sarandon wing in 2016.
Its a free country---for now.
How Bernie Sanders Can Squander—or Expand—His Victory
DeleteSanders has accomplished much more than what America expected, but he now stands at a precipice.
...That doesn't mean Sanders ought to quit, not until he has seized every last opportunity to deliver his message. As he continues, however, he must consider carefully what path best serves him, his movement and his country.
http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/how-bernie-sanders-can-squander-or-expand-his-victory
I thought the convention was to start in June???? Hopefully they will either do an end run around him, or he picks an experienced well liked VP candidate.
ReplyDeleteIf he were to win the presidency by some weird twist of the cards, and he starts the Nazi style bullshit he loves, I wouldn't expect him to last long. We all know how well the Secret Service does it's job...
You are a moron, like the rest here.
DeleteYou mean, like Trump would be assassinated if elected? What about before should he win the nomination? He's riling up the masses and loving every minute of it!
DeleteHe does remind many of the elderly in America of Hitler!
Ridiculous.
DeleteHardly ridiculous! Hitler II coming at you - via Trump!
DeleteYou know what? That 'Bernie supporters will vote for Trump' is a false meme.
ReplyDeleteWe are not PUMAs.
If Hillary Clinton loses the general, it's on HER....not Sanders supporters.
She can't make us vote out of fear of Teump; she's gotta EARN those votes.
Bernie polls better against the Repubs, so don't blame Sanders if you get what u want and she loses.
Earn it.
Yes, as a Bernie supporter I can say Bernie fans would NEVER go for Trump.
DeleteWhat do you want her to do? Seriously. The woman has been in the public eye for 40 years. You know who she is.They are more alike than they are different. She is a Democrat-what are you? Will you vote for Democrats in your state elections? Will you vote for Democratic House and Senate candidates? Will you work to make the US a better place? Or do you just plan to pout and tear out your hair because St. Bernard didn't win this time around?
DeleteYou may not ever vote for Trump, but I have heard of others that will. But then that comes from putting all of someone's supporters into one box isn't it?
DeleteProud to have voted twice for Barack and I will be proud to vote for Hillary in November.
But these Bernie Sanders' supporters should not hide from the election either. Not voting for the Democratic candidate, if Trump gets the GOP nomination, will be a gift to Trump. It's as simple as that. This is no year for temper tantrums or pouting by disgruntled supporters.
DeleteBeaglemom
Vote however you want to, Bernie supporters. Hillary and Bernie voted the same 93% of the time while in the Senate together, according to the NY Times. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/05/28/upshot/the-senate-votes-that-divided-hillary-clinton-and-bernie-sanders.html
DeleteYou won't vote for her, but she will win and you will reap the benefits of not having a Trump presidency.
DeleteYou're welcome in advance.
Jon Huntsman adds to the growing list of GOP elite supporting Trump
ReplyDeletehttp://www.aol.com/article/2016/04/30/jon-huntsman-adds-to-the-growing-list-of-gop-elite-supporting-tr/21368357/
All I see is Republicans in the U.S. Congress, in State Legislatures and on local levels being voted out of office (if they are running for reelection especially!) this coming November.
DeleteI think the Independents and Democrats are riled up! Suspect the turnout to vote will be like that of President Obama when he was elected both times! (even though the media isn't stating it!)
Remember, the Republicans were just sure he would not be elected the 'first' term much less his 'second'!
Vote for Hillary Clinton folks! She is by far the most qualified and ready for the position of POTUS! There isn't an Independent or Republican out there that can match her!
Gov. Scott Walker chose to sneak into the state Capitol through the basement during protests over union busting.

DeleteMarco Rubio On Warming To Trump: He's 'Improved Significantly'
ReplyDeletehttp://postonpolitics.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2016/04/29/marco-rubio-on-u-s-sugar-land-buy-donald-trump-zika-laremy-tunsil/
Really? Really, little Marco, you asswipe.
I heard this might be wrong. See red state.com 're marco. They said it was weasel words.
DeleteSince little Marco's Senatorial term is up in January, he's looking for another good-paying government job, hence sucking up to Trump. He's SOOOOO obvious!
DeleteFrom my point of view, the "Independents" and others who support Sanders and who will not vote for Clinton are Republicans or racists/misogynists or ignorant or deluded or a combination of some or all of these.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of the Huffington Post's description of Donald Trump: "Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S."
I have no respect for anyone who would vote for Trump or choose to not vote or vote for a write in/fringe candidate.
Well no-one cares what you think or has any respect for you to begin with.
Delete1:16 - wrong. I respect Liz I. a lot. You? Not so much.
DeleteYeah, 1:16. Don't EVER speak for me. You do t know me. I respect Li and I care what she thinks. You're an ass.
DeleteHow Trump Sold Us His Brand of Misogyny
ReplyDelete...It was all very reminiscent of the unrelenting creep on a dating site. He starts by acting entitled: the fact that he is “nice to you” means you owe him special treatment, even though his overall character is anything but nice. Then, when you don’t give him what he wants, he threatens you and calls you names, and he doesn’t stop until you block his account.
Unfortunately for Ms. Kelly, Ms. Fiorina, and Mrs. Cruz, the creep they’ve crossed paths with isn’t going anywhere, because millions of men with those same misogynistic views have propped him up, leveling their own attacks on these women’s physical appearances and career ambitions.
Mr. Trump’s message to all of these women is clear: Be attractive and don’t talk back.
http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/how-trump-sold-us-his-brand-misogyny
I don't see where any human being, with a sane mind, would 'volunteer' to be the VP candidate on Trump's ticket.
DeleteI would think he's going to have a very difficult time finding anyone that would be willing to take the second position to Trump's huge ego. Unless of course, he pays him big bucks and/or promises him something outlandish!
Who in their right mind would deal with his magnificient ego and the many horrible things he's said publically for the past months? He's a proven racist, anti women, a liar, fraud and joke!
Plus, he'd be the very worst representative for America! Foreign countries are already questioning America's possible choice in having him as our Republican nominee'! They think the Republican party is fucking nuts!
You keep talking about a male VP. But but but what about Sara???
DeleteWould Trump be stupid enough as to pick Sarah Palin as his VP? Don't think so!
DeleteHe would only pick Sarah is he wants to completely bury himself, go out with a crazy-ass bang, and blame it on someone else.
DeleteThe sad thing is that he's enjoying the hell out of it. His idea of "great again" is not mine, and you KNOW the wicked witch up north is licking her lips in delight. It's what she's wanted all along.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the Burlingame area and don't fool yourself that this route to the back of the hotel was not preplanned. I'm sure the cops had it all blocked off and the protesters just didn't pay attention since they were able to access Old Bayshore on the front of the hotel. In speaking to a worker at the site the idea was to let the protesters take over the road in front of the hotel but to not let them get onto the hotel property.
DeleteIt appears that very little damage was done to the hotel and now Trump has a new story for his future rallies.
Anon@1/26: Don't know your area, but agree wholeheartedly, because he is following the same playbook that every wannabe dictator has used in the twentieth centure. Sow hate and discontent, stir up the masses ( buy a few protesters to start the fray) and then profit from a melee and cry victim. We need to wake to these self-stroking megalomanics, for to many of them have won.
DeleteDon't forget Palin friends and enemies. She was for Cruz before she came out for Trump. She's been working both the guys - simple as that - for a spot in their administration should they be nominated and actually win the presidency.
ReplyDeleteAnd also don't forget that she is the kiss of death when it comes to endorsing folks in politics! I doubt anyone would pick her for anything! Especially in Alaska where they know her best!
So once again a bunch of non-working liberal idiots (protesters is to complementary a word) are being led around by the nose on social media, to gather en masse at an event hosted by another political party, riot and cause damage, and this is Trumps fault how?
ReplyDeleteWow! You wrote that as if you sincerely believe it. I feel sorry for you.
DeleteWorking America is growing weary of all these self entitled brats causing damage for no other reson than to cause damage. Trump's bid for president grows stronger every time these useless groups of lazy criminals cause problems.
ReplyDeleteWhy I wade through the pee pond. It's scary what those people believe, and a part of me wants them to get EXACTLY what they're hoping for.
ReplyDeletePresident Trump!
ReplyDeleteTo set the course to a better America!
So when trump needs to pick his VP, i think he should put all his choices in tight short shorts, and walk em around on stage, he seems to be good at that and he can then pick the one that has smaller hands then himself...... In addition, this guy trump, is just compost.
ReplyDeleteHe's also going to have a lot of trouble finding a running mate.
ReplyDeleteHis choices are pretty narrow. Newt Gingrich, Chris Christie and Ben Carson.
Most of the other Republicans when asked about the possibility aren't doing the polite but might non-committal but stating an emphatic NO. Jeb Bush's representative couldn't do anything else but laugh in response.
So you are probably going to see a Trump/Christie ticket.
That obviously explains why Christie swallowed his pride and behaved like a shamed little boy on stage with Trump. He can see that his only chance at the White House is to be Trump's whipping boy for 4-8 years until he can run on his own. And he thinks being Trump's VP will hold enough weight to get him nominated and elected.
Poor, poor Christie.
Gee, never thought I'd say that.
Since Rubio seems to have fallen in line behind Trump, perhaps he will be the VP pick. Presumably, (cough-cough) he can bring in the Hispanic vote. Otherwise, none of the others will bring in any meaningful support. As Trump dreams of being American Royalty, he may as well nominate his eldest son as his VP pick.
ReplyDeleteIt's like an adult version of musical chairs that we played as kids, except we're the ones that suffer for it.
DeleteRemember the SNL 40 gig when $arah hinted Trump was coming and everyone laughed? The one guy in the crowd outside that shouted out a statement to her and she said, "I'm on THIS side of the rope and you're not."
Good Lord.
Rubio was polling so low and dropped out so early Trump would never pick him. He'd be a "loser".
DeleteDonald, the artist of "the deal" crawled on his belly, to enter his ego feeding allotted time, but it takes him a day to think of an even more offensive response on social media. Yeah, Melania called and said there were helicopters following his every move, as if he couldn't see nor hear them overhead. I doubt Melania has the skill set to speak on his behalf, or we'd have seen her more than Jane Sanders on television. I've seen ads with his beautiful, tall, voluptuous, educated and vivacious daughter speaking on his behalf, but I guess a translator and Melania, the chandelier polisher, would be too much to spend.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, the big shindig is tonight, the correspondent's dinner. Go POTUS!
Jane Sanders: Bernie and I Stand With Unions and Against Standardized Testing
ReplyDeleteWTF? Who the fuc_ are you?
"Bernie and I"
Jane Sanders you are the one that the faculty and students hated at Burlington College. Why did Burlington College in their time of financial needs give you $200,000 to leave?
Why did you take the money from Burlington College when you know you were the one to put them in financial distress?
Probably the most exercise he's had in years.
