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." Catherine Garcia

PS: I think those were Clinton activists. They were actually not associated with the true "Black Lives Matter" movement. That was the Clinton campaign dirty trick on Bernie Sanders.
I raised the same notion. It would be quite convenient. It could even be Jarrett, knowing the Baltimore prosecution of the cops is about to fall apart. Or it could be marking the opening of a Biden campaign. Biden could enter now that Hitlery looks bloodied and everyone now recalls how unlikable she is and how her voice sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard. Either way, Bernie has to put up with the BLMs hijacking his every appearance. As for The Donald, he really is an experienced fighter, as shown on video in 2011 at 02:00 as #8.
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. http://archives.nbclearn.com/portal/site/k-12/flatview?cuecard=4511 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.
Donald John Trump is going to make a great president, the big question is will the wall be built in the first three months or the second three months of his presidency. Will Iran surrender in the first week or the second week of his presidency? He has my vote. I have never before decided so early in the game.
Translation: "I will have my bodyguards beat you up." Ok,ok. To be fair,he MIGHT take on two women by himself. Especially while knowing he has his bodyguards standing by for backup if things don't go well. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
I'm not saying you are wrong,but how do you know that? Does that alleged "movement" have any actual leaders,and have they said the two weren't associated with them? There is no doubt they would get away with that crap with Bubbette!,though. She is a woman so they couldn't use sexism as a club to beat her over the head,and she probably has a couple of 200 lb whymen lesbian steroid freaks hanging in the background to beat the snot out of them if they do try to interrupt Her Highness.

It was said so on a news show one of the ones on CNN or MSNBC the other night.
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.
Ok,thanks. I'm not sure that means much,though. News shows are in the bidnez of selling news,and the more they can puff up a issue the more advertising they can sell.It's to the point now where I'm not sure you can believe anything they say. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Thanks for the info. I didn't know most of it. I never saw those debates. I wasn't even a teenager.
If only Reagan hadn't picked that asshole.
I should have said John Sununu was a rising GOP player in NH. He wasn't governor until 1983.
