Just one question. If you are a protestor; why do you need a mask?

Because they aren't protesters and don't subscribe to any political affiliation?

So your official stance is we deny any and all knowledge what our party is doing?

I'm 98% sure that the people you are talking about - whoever that is since you never post a link - don't vote.

Should protesters be given any special consideration?

   If people organize, 'occupy' and interfere with normal everyday workings of society, should the politicians listen to what they are saying?

Should policy be changed because the media covers their event?

What if it is Tea party instead of Occupy?

Should politicians pay any attention at all to protesters?

doesn't their protest actually bypass the election process?

One person one vote, the representative then enacts laws that they were elected to pass and do the will of those who elected them to office?

If they then change law or policy because of media coverage of a protext doesn't that sway the process in favor of mob rule instead of the electorial process?

Lay off the coffee!

Should people have the right to protest peacefully? Absolutely.
Should politicians take note? Yes.
Does protest bypass the electoral process? No.

The media wants to sell soap and unfortunately we have short attention spans and want to see the most outrageous thing going on for 30 seconds.

A big problem for both sides is the infiltration of opportunists. Trump has the Klan and Bernie has the young anarchists to contend with. It's up to them to denounce political violence.

Progs are always violent. The make up the vast majority of violent criminals and are always rioting and holding violent demonstrations. They have lost the war of ideas, so they try to get their way by threatening others.

The guy that wants to deport 11M people goes to New Mexico.

Here are the immigrant demographics:  http://www.migrationpolicy.org/data/unauthorized-immigrant-population/state/NM

70,000 people!

If just the people that have been living in the US 20 years showed up to protest that would have been 13,000 in attendance.

I support that right if you are a citizen of this country. If you are here illegally you can F off.

What cracks me up are the people getting violent while waving mexican flags. It only reinforces Trump's statements.

Even funnier all of the progs with their heads in the sand making excuses for the tom foolery. You guys are really showing your colors. Not an ounce of realism as to what is going on. Keep it up Comrades, your sensitivity training meeting is at five oclock at Target

 "We saw this at Occupy Wall Street; we saw this in Black Lives Matter. Heck, you can go back to the anti-war protests and the WTO protests in Seattle. There seems to be this sense in some newsrooms that left-wing protests are somehow inherently less violent, and if there is violence, it’s somehow justified or understandable as a reaction to provocation from the Right." —Jim Geraghty responding to last night's anti-Trump protests

He couldn't have scripted and paid for an ad that better reinforced his statements. If I were one of the legitimate protestors, I'd have been pissed. Like RT mentioned, both sides need to police themselves for knuckleheads that are only there to cause trouble.

Step 1:  Provoke outrage among minorities.

Step 2: Tsk, tsk when it actually happens.

 

Lame.  Infantile.

I don't think it's a good idea to protest while waving the Mexican flag any more than while waving the Confederate flag.

In both cases it's counterproductive.

Those angry folks in the street are doing exactly what Trump and his kind want. Hell, if anyone's paying them it's probably him.
