He allowed that sick fuck Trump go on and on about how much credit he should get for cancelling so that nobody would get hurt - when Chris should have nailed his sorry ass!

And I am someone that often gives Matthews the benefit of the doubt. Trump kept saying "You can't even have a rally any more..."
Matthews never mentioned that all the other candidates have rallies without this shit and Bernie's are as large.

The coverage of Trump has been over the top. I honestly, believe that from the beginning he has been over covered because he's a celebraty. The media over covered him and created this monster and MSNBC is the worst offender.

earlier today in Saint Louis, he said to supporters that protesters are destroying America.

Trump knew in a city that's 30% Latino they would react.

Tweety was useless as usual.

CNN is worse.

They are defending Trump and saying none of this is his fault.

1 guy said he was sucker punched and his face was all bloody.

Trump wanted this to happen.

He could have canceled the Chicago rally, but he loves to stir the shit.

Tweety let trump repeat himself over and over about his concern for safety and how ... boo hoo... he can't even have a rally in a major city.

I turned off CNN when John King started blaming the protestors.

They wouldn't tell the truth because they want the money.

The CEO of CBS even said Trump is not good for the country but he is good for CBS.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY.

No morals, no scruples.

so they changed their scheduling.

This was based on what happened at the St. Louis rally today.

He won't be fired.

He wife is running for the Senate and Hillary is helping her.

This is all on Trump. Media has a part in all the insane coverage from the start but he's at the heart of this.

Hope the city of Chicago sends him a big fat bill for all the police/firefighters/EMS who had to come out due to his hate campaign... To listen to him just brush it all off and take credit for ending it is sickening... Can't the GOP just kick him out or disqualify him? I'm no GOP fan but this can't be something they want connection to?
