    CHICAGO – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump canceled one of his signature rallies Friday, saying he didn't want to see "people get hurt" after protesters packed into the Chicago arena where it was to take place.

    The announcement that the billionaire businessman would postpone the rally until another day led a large portion of the crowd inside the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion to break out into raucous cheers. Meanwhile, supporters of the candidate started chanting "We want Trump! We want Trump!"

    There were isolated physical confrontations between some members of the crowd after the event was canceled.

    Speaking later with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren, Trump said he had arrived in Chicago two hours earlier and about 25,000 people were trying to enter the arena.

    After meeting with law enforcement authorities, he said, "I didn't want to see people get hurt (so) I decided to postpone the rally...

    "What we did was intelligent," Trump said. "A very good decision…a wise decision."

    He also told Van Susteren, "if we had the rally, I think it would not have been a good situation." But, he added, "Our First Amendment rights have been violated."

    Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, second in delegates to Trump in the GOP race, said late Friday that the billionaire has created "an environment that encourages this sort of nasty discourse."

    The Donald cancelled due to self-preservation, before he will be considered Haz-Mat by even more people.

    I'm not a Trump fan. Damn far from it. But the mob mentality of this Chicago crowd typifies the MO of the lib/progs: "If we don't like what you are going to say, we'll do whatever we can to deny you your right to say it."

    MOD EDIT>>>OFF TOPIC<<<

    back at the ranch. Love it how Rubio and Cruz are effectively saying, vote for us instead of Trump, because the left loves the idea of us as the GOP candidate. This dumb ass act just energized his voters, any candidate that is getting that much attention from the enemy must be doing something correct
