Really nasty protestor outside Trump rally on CNN. Reported to be Bernie supporters some carrying

signs "We want socialism." Not a good showing for Bernie supporters. But then we already know how disruptive they can be and now many more people know. They are behaving like the violent Trump supporters we have seen in the past.

I hope Hillary comes out and disavows this kind of vicious protesting. It denies people their right to expresses their rights. Hillary supporters protest at the ballot box and she should ask that they continue to do so.

Rise, Hillary, rise. Keep your campaign positive, perceptive, patriotic, and pragmatic. keep both Trump and Bernie on the ropes. Rope-a-dope.

They are chasing down the Trump supporters when they see them. Aren't enough police to do much about it. Repuke guy in the studio saying this looks bad for Democrats and the Democratic nominee.

8. Right, I think a blend is more likely than a pure group of Bernie supporters. edit:

It's looking like Bernie supporters were a definite minority, not just diluted.

13. Some guy was burning the USA flag

That guy was really stupid. Burning a flag has no symbolic relevancy if you're a Bernie (or Hillary) supporter. Also, I'm an immigrant that came here from Asja when I was 5 years old, but if you claim to be an American and want to be treated as such do not wave your homelands's flag. Wave an American flag indicating you believe yourself to be part of this country. If you want to bring your homelands flag, wave it next to or along with an American flag. It really irks me to see people wanting immigration reform yet they wave a foreign land's flag on American soil. It symbolizes disloyalty. You can still be proud of your roots but in a political stage, show that you are an American, not some (insert ethnicity) living in the USA.
