The Beast Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 So, sorry if this is dumb, but...if I am a registered democrat, can I pick a republican ballot on the 15th and vote for Kasich if I want? Or do I have to vote democrat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There absolutely wasnt. Tough man trump wilted at some pretty minor protests. This is Chicago, that was nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 The question is was it idiocy or political strategy to hold the rally on a college campus on the near West Side? I doubt the same protests happen at Harper College in Palatine . Maybe they wanted the publicity. Or maybe they are just dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Okay man. You are right. I run when I don't feel safe. I guess that makes me a coward. I posted this before the event was even cancelled: QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) Man never seen a longer line for the event. Guy ahead of me got kicked out trying to bring a knife in so that was nice. It's secret service, dumbass. Around 1k protestors here chanting "uncle tom and "shame on you" towards black trump supporters. Keeping it real classy. Probably a hundred people kicked out already. Trump hasn't even come on yet. Yes, people trying to sneak weapons in initially freaked me out. Maybe I was a little too on edge. But then supporters were getting attacked right in front of me. Once they cancelled the event, it was probably the scariest situation. Luckily I spotted a group getting escorted by secret service, and I jumped in line with them.

Or do I have to vote democrat? It's an open primary, so you can request a Republican ballot, but then you have to vote Republican in every race. You can't vote for Kasich for President and then Democrats in other races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just fine with violence when there's only a handful of protesters, run scared when there's actual opposition. Pretty much and so much white trash. Trumps entire support base is there because of blatant racism. I went down there and hung out in the area after and it was so f***ing racist.

pettie4sox Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Rubio and Kasich jumped on Trump for what happened yesterday. They blamed his rhetoric for what happened. Trump is not a divider, he's a uniter against him and his nutter agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The protesting should be allowed to happen at any rally but trump over the course of the last several months has specifically called for violence against any opposition. This was exactly what HE asks for. Don't blame anyone but what he created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel embolden being around a group of their fellow racist asshat peers. They were just heckling students that weren't even protesting FFS! The more this escalates, the more Trumps chances goes down. He'll bring people out to the ballot box if he's the nominee; a slew of minorities will insure he doesn't get elected and there are not enough white people to put him in there.

You can't vote for Kasich for President and then Democrats in other races. Fine by me, I live in Lakeview and doubt my vote makes much of a difference on the democratic side for other races. I don't think I can vote for the guy who is challenging Boss Madigan and I would prefer to help the GOP kick out some democrats so Rauner can start doing more to help Illinois. If Trump does get the nomination though, I am definitely going to vote for Hillary, as much as it pains me (unless a miracle happens and Trump isn't the nominee). I am just hoping my vote for Kasich doesn't help Trump that much since I bet Cruz or Rubio will be number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
