16. Well, in all honesty, Bernie supporters aren't to blame for the unrest. Trump is. So Bernie is

correct. Trump is inciting violence, with escalating force, at his rallies and his supporters threw the first punch(es).

Naturally, when a White guy punches a smaller Black guy, and this is broadcast all across the nation, expect a response. And although there were some who shouted Bernie's name, who's to say they were really Bernie supporters?

Remember, always look at who benefits from this, and the answer in this case is, Trump.

So Bernie is correct in denouncing those supporters of his who have claimed to have disrupted Trump's campaign - and not to do that. It only helps Trump.

I'm saying this as a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter, by the way.
