Title: Donald Trump would fight if black activists tried to take his mic like they did Bernie Sanders

If you are brave enough to get between Donald Trump and a microphone, make sure all your affairs are in order because he will be ready to rumble.

During a press conference Tuesday night in Michigan, Trump was asked about the Black Lives Matter protesters who interrupted Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during an appearance in Seattle on Saturday. "I would never give up my microphone," he said. "I thought that was disgusting. That showed such weakness, the way he was taken away by two young women. The microphone...they just took the whole place over."

The thought of someone even contemplating restricting his access to a mic was almost too much for Trump to comprehend. "That will never happen with me," he reiterated. "I don't know if I'll do the fighting myself, or if other people will, but that was a disgrace. I felt badly for him, but it showed that he's weak. ... Believe me, that's not gonna happen to Trump."

Then Presidential-candidate Ronald Reagan delivers his famous line during the 1980 Republican debate in New Hampshire.

GHW Bushbot communists try to steal Reagan's mic.

Poppy Bush just sits there looking stupid.

Reagan won the nomination with that speech. He showed he was the alpha dog. You had the other candidates who were running against Reagan applauding his statement unconsciously so. They got caught up in the moment applauding Reagan. That was telling. Also, it was Reagan wanting to have the other Republicans debate and not be just him and Bush and he was being magnanimous and paying for the event.

It was Bush trying to drawn out the rest. Bush was the GOP choice.

But since this afternoon Reagan had been trying to enlarge the debate to include all the Republican candidates. The sponsor of the encounter, the Nashua Telegraph, refused. Reagan claimed that since he had paid for the confrontation he had the right to change the ground rules. A quarter hour after the debate was supposed to start George Bush entered the hall. A moment later a very angry Ronald Reagan strode onto the platform. He didn’t come alone. He brought four other candidates with him onto the stage. They are Congressman John Anderson, Senators Howard Baker and Robert Dole, and Congressman Philip Crane. John Connally was out of the state. The publisher of the Nashua paper did the formal introduction.

Nashua Telegraph Publisher: It is my privilege to welcome you tonight to the 1980 Nashua Telegraph Presidential Forum. On the right is former governor of California Ronald Reagan; on the left is the former ambassador of the UN, George Bush. In the rear are four other candidates who have not been invited by the Nashua Telegraph. At the end of the debate we will allow these four people to make statements.

UTLEY: Then the moderator Jon Breen, an editor of the paper, set the rules for the debate. When Ronald Reagan tried to protest Breen attempted to have his microphone cut off.

Mr. JON BREEN, Moderator: Would the sound man please turn Mr. Reagan’s mic off for the moment?

Mr. RONALD REAGAN, GOP Presidential Candidate: Is this on? Mr. Green…If you ask me… I am paying for this microphone, Mr. Green!

UTLEY: With that, Reagan accompanied the four candidates to the edge of the stage as they left, a gesture of protest against the newspaper and George Bush. When they left the gymnasium the candidates were not happy.

Senator HOWARD BAKER, Tennessee: If George Bush is the nominee, I'll support him. But I do not plan on George Bush being the nominee. He is not wearing that crown very well. And I’m going to do what I can do to make sure that doesn’t happen. Because I think too much of the Republican Party to see it go down the tube.

Senator ROBERT DOLE, Kansas: I’ll never understand George Bush’s attitude as long as I live. They stiffed us, that’s what they did, they stiffed us. They said you can’t come and they had the help of the paper. No doubt in my mind Bush and the Nashua Telegraph are in this together.

Congressman JOHN ANDERSON, Illinois: Mr. Bush is trying to contrive the image, apparently, that he and only one other candidate are worthy of consideration and are front-runners in this race and nobody else matters. UTLEY: Meanwhile there was finally a debate between Reagan and Bush. There wasn’t much disagreement between the two and total agreement on one point. Mr. BREEN: Do you feel that Ronald Reagan is too old to be president of the United States?

Mr. GEORGE BUSH, GOP Presidential Candidate: No, I don’t.

Mr. BREEN: Governor Reagan?

Mr. REAGAN: I agree with George Bush. UTLEY: Well, Tom, it was a wild night here in New Hampshire.

Sununu, then NH governor and later chief of staff to Bush I as prez, was the instigator of the whole mess.

It is one of Reagan's great moments. Bush was trying to shut down the field and Reagan wanted more voices to be heard even if they were the competition.

I should have said John Sununu was a rising GOP player in NH. He wasn't governor until 1983.
