For the sake of argument, let's pretend Trump did initiate a set-up.
Let's instead hear some sound counters to my arguments that it was a
setup. Again:
How many Trump rallies have been held in the heart of a major city, on
a university campus? http://www.donaldjtrump.com/schedule Today he
rallies at the Synergy Flight Center in Bloomington, IL., then he does
his "Cincinnati Town Hall" in West Chester, OH 25 miles from downtown
Cincinnati. Then its off to the Sunset Cove Amphitheater in Boca
Raton, Fl. Tomorrow he'll be at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory,
NC, an 86% white Christian school. These are much more his style. The
choice of UIC, in the DT Chicago and home of Black Youth Project 100,
stands out like a sore thumb. But the choice of that venue plus the
fact that while it is another characteristic of Trump rallies that
they make every effort to insure that only Trump supporters get in,
such policing was dropped for this event,
Add to that the way he has been systematically building the rhetoric of
confrontation with protesters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuTe_sAI-UQ
So please, let's not pretend and do take all that on board:
If so,
it backfired. The MSM and sunday afternoon network talking heads have been
having a field day.
I think you would be well advised to hold any verdict as whether it
backfired on not until after the voting on Tuesday.
I was in Chicago for the 1968 DNC and organizing on the Southside in the
early 70's before Obama, so I know a little about Northern Illinois, but
I was in St. Louis for 8 year, worked with activists in East St. Louis,
Granite city & Danville, so I know even more about Southern Illinois and
I think Trump planned this with the good-ole boys downstate in mind, far
from Democratic Chicago and the Sunday morning talking heads. I think he
is seriously playing a long game to become POTUS and then some. I think
this little stunt was designed to rally them to the polls to vote for
Trump, so I will wait until after Tuesday before I render a verdict on
its effectiveness.
