    The fact that these protesters are actually being paid by some billionaire who has ulterior motives should be broadcast far and wide so everyone knows these protesters have no genuine grievances against Trump. Those who do instead of protesting should turn out to vote against Trump. That would be the right way to show their disapproval.

    The fact they feel they gave to protest against Trump, to me suggests that if they lead their protest from the ballot box, they know that they would lose the vote.

    That in itself tends to suggest that those protesting are in the minority and I think they know that and so are just trying to make it difficult for Trump more than anything else.

    This seems to suggest that the protesters at Trump rallies are all being paid. The way I know it, is that not all Americans will have to be paid to protest against whatever is not in their best interest, and because of some of the utterances that Trump had made during his campaign it wouldn't be surprising to see that persons would want to protest against him without being paid.Ahead of the New York Primaries Cruz is coming under fire from some people in the Bronx because of a previous statement that he had made, and I believe there will be protests against him also from people who would not have been paid to do so.

    I totally agree with this. The fact that we can protest against political parties, protest against candidates and protest against our President and congress is what makes this country great. At the end of the day, there will be elections and power will or will not change hands, but it will all be done mostly peacefully.

    The intensity of this will pass soon. Trump managed to get the poorest and most uneducated segment of the US population angry because ´all your problems are someone else´s fault´.. The Republican party brought this on themselves by champion stuff like the birther movement and all the ´protect the confederate flag´ stuff. They were playing with fire, and now Trump has harnessed all that victimization, all of those uneducated people the Rs have been trying to attract with their ´issues´ the last 20 years. Congratulations, you got em, now what´cha going to do with em.

    You are right on that - people have the right to protest. But the manner? A few days ago, some farmers protested to the government that they were getting hungry. The farmers went to the office of a government agency and when nothing was happening, they started throwing stones and did some vandalism. When the police came, they fought the cops. In the aftermath, there were 2 dead. So whose fault is it? If the protest was peaceful then no lives would have been lost. But anyway, the coming election is becoming a circus with all those bickerings and insults.

    People have the right to protest, regardless of who is funding them. Every major organization is funded by some backer. As long as they aren't breaking any laws and they protest peacefully, there shouldn't be an issue with it.

    They have the right to assemble and protest as long as it's not harming anyone. Don't quote me on that haha. I think though that these protests are going past the line of not harming someone, when they are keeping people from making it to work, and all that.
