http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/how-bernie-sanders-supporters-shut-down-donald-trump-rally-chicago

When Ja’Mal Green, a prominent black activist and Bernie Sanders supporter
in Chicago, saw that Donald Trump was coming to the University of Illinois
Chicago, he knew what he had to do. “Everyone, get your tickets to this.
We’re all going in ‪#‎SHUTITDOWN‬,” he posted on Facebook last week.

Little did he know they actually would shut it down.

Friday night, hundreds of protesters invaded Trump’s rally while thousands
more marched outside, leading the candidate to abruptly cancel the event
due to safety concerns. The night spun out from there, as angry Trump fans
clashed with protesters, who saw the shutdown as a victory.

Protesters interrupt virtually every Trump speech. But what made Chicago
different were its scale and the organization behind the effort. Hundreds
of young, largely black and brown people poured in from across the city,
taking over whole sections of the arena and bracing for trouble.

And as the repeated chants of “Ber-nie” demonstrated, it was largely
organized by supporters of Bernie Sanders, the Democratic presidential
candidate who has struggled to win over black voters, but whose
revolutionary streak has excited radicals of all colors.

“Remember the #TrumpRally wasn’t just luck. It took organizers from dozens
of organizations and thousands of people to pull off. Great work,” tweeted
 People
for Bernie, a large unofficial pro-Sanders organization founded by veterans
of the Occupy movement and other lefty activists.

A note from afar


Last night I watched my 15 minutes of reality show and was amazed at the
way things looked.


Donald Trump looked like a little boy bully who had been spanked, maybe
whipped, by his bully father.


He didn’t call anyone a liar or a wimp. He held his tongue instead of
interrupting.

Good boy, Donny, boy.


He looked miserable. He looked like he really, really wanted to have more
fun bullying little Mario and Teddy, but was afraid he would really get his
ass kicked if he did.

Maybe I misread the situation, but if I didn’t, who is dear old daddy? And
what did the whipping consist of?


Mario, Johnie, and Donny read their lines and played the game according to
the rules, too.


No food fight!


Boring.


But, interesting for what it says about the inner intrigues of the GOP. IMHO
