    Maybe those who hate Trump would not choose violent protests because Trump already called them "Criminals and rapists." That was probably the reason why protesters had to be hired. Vote against him that's what they should do. And many are registering so they can vote against Trump.

    Legal immigrants are becoming citizens so they can vote against Donald Trump. The Donald’s political rhetoric about Mexicans has spawned the “Donald Trump wave,” an unprecedented get-out-the-vote effort among immigration advocates.

    Somebody asked why politicians would give money and why would people accept it. Well I believe it is obvious that politicians need supporters even if they are fake. It is a part of any campaign like paid audience in studios. The reason for accepting is even more obvious. People need money to eat, pay bills and have a decent life.

    Now to get to the point of this thread. Really!? I mean seriously? This is quite a lot of money for one protest or even dozen. Here in Serbia people get a sandwich and soda, maybe a t shirt or something. The active ones get some job that is paid for some period and that is it.

    I admire the will and marketing spirit of Trump. He is a true businessman.

    I have a friend that runs a paid for rallying service, where each protester gets paid to be there and hold up a banner. These things have been going on for years, so with this Presidential campaign it's expected.

    In the UK, I assume? In the US, my perception is that paid protesters mostly can be traced to a Soros organization.

    This kind of thing also happens here in the Philippines. Mostly the homeless and under-privileged people are the ones who are being paid to serve as protesters for street demonstrations. Where there's a rally, there will most probably be a pay-up for people to participate. They are even given free lunch by the group or organization leading the rally. I guess these kind of things do happen in many places now because of money and the lack of it that sometimes some people will do anything just to have money for food or other necessities.

    give me a break, this is a common tactic that has been used forever by both sides. The NRA does this all the time and even hands out fliers in the lobbies of large churches in the south. The people who go every year to protest Disney on gay pride day are paid and get a big bag of goodies when they return home.

    Notice I chose to use the word mostly, an adverb modifying the verb.

    To your starements, yes, paid protesters are tied to the NRA. Bloomberg backs anti-gun groups. A search of the web produces numerous results, such as this piece that the NRA focuses on lobbying efforts, on its use of funds, but where is your evidence that the NRA pays protesters? Ditto for paid LGBT protesters? Enough.

    These tangential items do not change the facts that Soro's groups are actively involved in the anti-Trump protests at his rallies.

    This isn't even worth mention. Both sides do this all the time. It has been going on forever. Who cares? It isn't a sign that the protests aren't real or valid and doesn't help Trump's case any.

    Frankly, I care and I think it is quite important. The uninformed electorate are being duped by the progressives are fooled into action by Soros' organizations. Soros' influences are not reported by the media.

    We are also having our presidential elections in the Philippines this month of May. And I agree that both sides do it. Since the election is only a month away, the media is filled with smears and criticisms of any kind. So if you will compile the negative then you will find that no candidate is worthy of your vote - because of the smear campaign by all camps. There are 4 candidates that have a chance of winning based on surveys so we can expect more fire in the coming days.
