Trump on Sunday tweeted that if Sanders is sending supporters to Trump rallies to disrupt them, Trump would do the same at Sanders’ rallies. “Be careful Bernie, or my supporters will go to yours!”
As MSN reports, Trump stopped by CBS News’ Face the Nation on Sunday to address the matter of violence at his rallies. “It’s mathematically impossible for either one of them to win 1,237” delegates, he said, referring to Kasich and Rubio.
Sanders told Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union that his prospects are improving in Tuesday’s primaries. “I’m afraid that on this occasion, he’s lying again”.
“Our rallies are so big and we have so many people, I never hear their voices”, the billionaire property developer and former reality television star said.
Trump’s main rival for the GOP nomination, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, said the tough-talking real-estate mogul was partly to blame for the incident in Chicago, saying it was a “predictable consequence” of the candidate’s encouragement of violence against demonstrators. When that didn’t work, they organized a coordinated protest to #StopTrump from bringing his hate speech to their school.
In Fayetteville, N.C., on Wednesday, a protester who was being escorted out of a campaign rally was sucker punched by a Trump supporter.
‘I don’t accept responsibility. “Even [Trump’s] Republican colleagues make this point: His language, his intonation, when he talks about carrying people out in stretchers … this is a man who keeps implying violence, and then you end up getting what you seek”. Trump said he had instructed his aides to look into paying the man’s legal fees to handle his court case.
“Well, I’m going to review it. I understand-and I don’t condone violence and I don’t condone what happened to him and what he did because he got carried away and it’s very unfortunate”, he said.
The man who was punched has told The Associated Press that he and others went to the event as observers, not protesters.
“It’s a little unusual because there are more Democrats registered than Republicans”, he told Action News Jax.
On Saturday, a Trump supporter shouted “Go to Auschwitz” during a rally for the candidate in Kansas City, Missouri.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is seeing an increasingly public resistance to his campaign.
“What caused the protests at Trump’s rally is a candidate that has promoted hatred and division against Latinos, Muslims, women, and people with disabilities, and his birther attacks against the legitimacy of President Obama”.
While the rise of both Sanders and Trump signals a growing populism across America, their (and their supporters) worldviews remain fundamentally incompatible. She asserted that she is not a Nazi sympathizer, as some who have seen the photo have suggested.

“I think (voters) want to see change”, said Bill Campbell. “But you know what, not nice for the other side, either”.
