The optics would've been horrific. I'm just agreeing with that other poster that Trump normally would've been calling for some lone protester to be ganked, beat up, and tossed out on his butt. I think Trump isn't being consistent here. There are dozens of videos out there where he calls for protesters to be kicked out. If he really was a big "high energy" guy like he claims he would've marched right up to the podium and called for each and every protester to leave.
