His remarks come just two days before make-or-break primaries that likely offer his rivals their last shot at derailing his march toward his party’s nomination.

Trump told people he is in favor of water boarding and free trade. Trump seemed angry and kept taunting the protesters, yelling get them out or go home to mommy, things he often says to protesters at these rallies. In the interview on “Meet the Press” Sunday, the GOP front-runner said he would even look into paying the legal fees of the man who threw the punch at his rally in North Carolina.
Sanders has repeatedly denied that he has ever encouraged his supporters to protest at Trump’s campaign events.
In previous rallies in urban areas, many altercations have followed racial lines, with white Trump supporters clashing with black demonstrators. He cast his naysayers as “bad people” that “do harm to the country”. The outcome will help determine whether Mr Trump can reach the 1,237 delegates required for nomination and avoid a contested convention this summer in Cleveland.
Trump wrapped up the night by telling supporters to vote next Tuesday in the Missouri primary.
“He’s not the right guy to be president”.
The protests in Kansas occurred outside of the Arvest Bank Theatre, where Trump had a speaking event at 6 P.M. What that means is that Donald Trump is literally inciting violence with his supporters.
A skeptical Kasich reversed his months-long practice of avoiding the topic of Trump. Whether it be a young woman repeatedly shoved and pushed as she was escorted from a gathering in Louisville, KY., or in Chicago where a photo of woman saluting Hitler went viral, Trump’s rallies are a hotbed of frustration for many. “He is trafficking in hate and fear”, Clinton said during the event at Ohio State University, in Columbus. “It’s really cause for pause”.
Bernie Sanders, meanwhile, called Trump “a pathological liar” when asked about Trump’s charge he was behind Friday’s violence in Chicago.
The real estate tycoon has blamed protesters, the media and even Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders for the increasingly caustic atmosphere at his rallies.
But Trump dismissed the notion his extreme statements on immigrants and Muslims had exacerbated tensions, placing the blame squarely on “organized thugs”.
Sanders responded: “Send them”. Bernie Sanders, they have Sanders signs all over the place. He is saying if you go out and beat somebody up, that’s okay, I’ll pay the legal fees.
