    Yeah, talk about shutting down free speech!! The Brown Shirts did similar things in Nazi Germany. Apparently ignorance and hatred abound in Chicago.

    Why anyone would want to go to Chicago in the first place is a mystery.

    Glad he cancelled. BLM fools are out to riot and if they keep it up, it will get very bad.

    I wonder if Trump purposely had the event here. He probably wanted the spectacle. Get conservatives riled up against liberal protesters. I think it's brilliant.

    Probably not a good idea to hold the rally on a Friday night in bloody Chicago.

    The protesters took over the floor of the pavilion, shouting down all speech.

    Loverly that you go into this blind and partisan.

    Saw pic's of some of the smiling protesters holding hate signs, pretty nasty stuff. I guess considering Chicago's murder rate, canceling had to be a viable option. Pretty sad, if they canceled it had to because of viable threats, not these mindless pinheads waving "Trump's Hitler" type posters. Should really please Glenn Beck to see so many folks out there carrying his message of hate.

    What better to unite conservatives on your side then to get the same BLM protesters to protest against you in the thousands?

    He canceled because the police told him to.

    He had to cancel. There was a chance he would have been roughed up had he not.

    Glenn Beck is partially responsible. He has recently dedicated his radio talk show to dissing Trump.

    Any free publicity Trump can garner from this façade of a campaign is a-okay by the publicity hound. Can anyone imagine how much Trump would have to pay for this type of 24/7 media coverage? Trump knows and he's milking it. He's well aware that when he loses the general election, the deals he is so fond of will roll in via interviews, books and film rights. He has taken the bull (*)(*)(*)(*) campaigning that Gingrich used over and over again in order to sell books to the umpteenth degree. Ben Carson used the same formula to sell his books, but he just did not have enough snake oil to outdo Trump. Trump is taking his supporters for quite a ride...LOL

    So are all the minorities, racist, for shutting down the rally? If a bunch of white people shut down an Obama rally, how quickly would the race cards get thrown?

    With anti-Trumpsters, who knows? He could have been shot or something, in any case, law enforcement recommended he shut it down.
