I disagree with you on this one.


Trump has asked his crowds to beat protestors. He doesn't say "please beat that guy up", he says "I would love to punch that guy in the face". Which endorses it. And then of course he never denounces it. His followers are just doing his bidding. And that's what they are - followers, not supporters. They pledge their allegiance to him.

In this case, he is not going to come out and say "please riot if I am not the nominee". By predicting that riots will occur if he is not the nominee, he is issuing a call to action to his mob of followers if that happens, and more importantly, serving notice to the Repub Party elite that riots will happen, so watch your step. And by the way, I don't know how the repubs get out of this. He's their nominee if you ask me.

Just a page outta the demagogue playbook.
