imagine what will happen if Trump tries to have a rally near downtown LA.

if the "law and order" issue is flagging, all Trump has to do is schedule an event somewhere like the LA Coliseum

The ensuing chaos might be enough for a multi-day national story.

Unfortunately a lot of these "protestors" have their own agenda, and defeating Trump at the ballot box is not their priority.
