I can't imagine that anyone winning the Presidency would want to keep campaigning after the election. There has to be another reason and, unfortunately, I believe it is to make a case for limiting public demonstrations.

...and the flag-baiting is a pathetic desecration of everything it symbolizes.

Shall we expect book burnings, public beatings and floggings, displays of military force, etc to rally the masses? New brown shirts for the faithful?

Don't even let his motorcade get to the stadium. If they start shooting people imagine the outrage.

Yes, I remember the carnage very well.

"The Kent State shootings occurred at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, in the United States and involved the shooting of unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970."

Have we ever had a newly elected president (not an incumbent) engage in a "Victory Tour"?

He requires the attention and gratification of large numbers of people cheering and saying his name.

Without burning flag. But the flag burning during the rnc was the communist party and not the democrats but they are too stupid to know.

...none of the protests planned have anything to do with flag burning.

So, who's really taking the bait here?

It's just business as usual with this one, so we only roll our eyes, but it's so inappropriate.

Way to bring the country together, with an in-your-face victory tour.
