Trump Event Violence: My Theory

Corporate interests benefiting from free trade deals hired professional agitators to paint Trump as racially divisive and pro-violence and Sander's supporters as violent rabble. Trump and Sanders are the two biggest threats to the offshorers.

Not that Trump didn't give them an opening with xenophoblc statements and statements threatening protestors at past events. Those gave them an opening, but if you want to know who was behind this follow the money.

Not Hillary, not Bernie, not Rahm, not Cruz. Corporate interests massaging the debate in their favor.

Not saying they were all paid, but there are ways to catalyze these things.

But it's pure speculation. I think Drumpf is very capable of generating the hate we saw tonight on his own.

Bernie supporters weren't being violent, btw.

But it's real. It happened and it was organized by Bernie supporters, Occupiers and others.

(Name removed but it's on that page): Bernie had a rally in the Chicago suburbs today. There were several coordinated events going on. While I don't think EVERYONE there is a Bernie supporter, I think it's safe to say based on the other events going on, with the nearby rally, and the march to the Polls they had going on, it's likely to have been a big help wink emoticon
