of the specifics that are behind this OP .....I will admit that, if I were a young man, I'd have gone to Trump rallies and cheered for Bernie. My impression is that Trump supporters attempt to "man-handle" those they consider to be trouble-makers. I would have enjoyed that.

In my younger days as an activist, I would have gone to protest these 'brown shirts', and if it got violent, I can't say I would have remained peaceful if 'man-handled'.

Though if one of those assholes tried to fuck with me now, I probably still would ding them over the head with my cane!

That seems like a good protest, basic but communicates well

to know what violence has actually occurred and whether both sides are instigated it. I suspect it was from the Trump side given how violent some of his rally supporters have gotten here recently.

May we live in interesting times!

- Cruz supporters
- Rubio supporters
- Special Interests on both sides
- Rahm's machine

Bernie's supporters are pretty far down the list, IMO.
