Sorry to tell them but Bernie & his supporters are way ahead of you!
When JaMal Green, a prominent black activist and Bernie Sanders supporter in Chicago, saw that Donald Trump was coming to the University of Illinois-Chicago, he knew what he had to do.
Everyone, get your tickets to this. Were all going in!!!! #SHUTITDOWN, he posted on Facebook last week.
Little did he know, they actually would shut it down.

A Donald Trump rally in Chicago has been completely shut down by protesters, as news media and law enforcement have confirmed that Trump will not speak.
The Trump rally was scheduled to take place at The University of Illinois at Chicagos Pavilion this Friday evening. According to Trumps official statement, the event has only been postponed, but it seems unlikely that another rally will be scheduled after this outcome.
Protesters and Donald Trump critics celebrated the victory in the UIC Pavilion and on social media. The scene appears to be incredibly chaotic, as protesters and Trump supporters stand off and scream obscenities at each other, with security attempting to keep the peace.
Protesters also interrupted Trumps rally in St. Louis earlier today for about 14 minutes. However, Trump rallies have been plagued with incidents of violence, as Trumps supporters lash out against nonviolent protesters. At that same rally in St. Louis, a black activist named Anthony Cage was assaulted while at a Trump rally. Cage was brought to an ambulance in zip ties, but was treated and then released without charges.

The Bern lit the fire, and Berners are taking it right to Trump. Trump & Bernie are trading jabs at each other. Sorry Hillary, you are not even being mentioned.

(39,451 posts)Bernie did not instigate the protest.
His supporters are trying to stop Trump.
The national conversation is between Bernie Vs Trump.
Not about Hillary.

There's been no shortage of rhetoric against from from every walk of life and every person running for president. The only thing unique in your OP is the picture from last night. We have no way of knowing with any certainty that all those in the protest were Sanders supporters, so your "Bernie is way ahead of you" has meaning ONLY if Sanders and his campaign organized the protest.
Considering that you are now walking it back, I would change your quote to, "Sorry to tell them but some of Sanders's supporters and other protesters are way ahead of you!"
Not about Hillary.
...except when the RW, mainstream, establishment media are showing their extreme bias toward Sanders and talking about Clinton.
