    He's not sticking up for Trump, just making sure all who are responsible share the blame. Heard those guys listen to Dropkick Murphys before they go out and assault people. Dropkick Murphys should take blame also.

    Trump vs. Biden should be a fun race.

    We need to see a gaggle of #BlackLivesMatter protestors storm the stage at a Trump campaign event.

    Finally all the masks would be off.

    They weren't saying "The Dropkick Murphys were right."

    Ramos embarrassed himself and his profession. He was grandstanding. He wasn't even asking questions, but instead was making statements.

    There was no indication that Trump was unwilling to call on him, and when he's let back in, Trump does engage him.

    And then, Ramos whiffs. He tells Trump, "you can't build a 1,900 mile wall." When Trump tells him it's easy, he's a builder, and building a 94 story building is more complicated than building a wall, Ramos concedes that it is possible by editorializing that it's a waste of money.

    Other than the "go back to Univision" line, I'm not sure Trump deserves any criticism for this interaction.

    The guy was rude, and was shouting over another reporter's question. Given several opportunities to stop shouting, he instead went on.

    If he's going to act like a protester instead of a reporter, he shouldn't be surprised that he was escorted out of the room.

    That's SOP this early in the proceedings. Nobody talks policy this early.

    I'm beginning to think Donald Trump will win the nomination and may indeed be the next President. He's a force of will, and he'll continue to suck all the oxygen out of the room while his numbers continue to rise to a point that the power brokers can't ignore him, nor will they have improved faith in the other clowns running. Once the powerful get behind him, the snowball will be growing so quickly, sane voters will think, "a hell, why not? What's the worse that can happen..." and bingo, he'll be the winner come November 2016.

    I saw this exact sort of thing happen back in the day:

    The Arnold comparison is both the hope and the fear for Republicans.

    Morning Joe this morning, from 7 to 7:30 was nothing but Trump talk but for commercials and about 30 seconds on the stock market.

    I rarely watch morning news so maybe that overkill is typical but it was something else.

    I can't decide if it is because people get distracted by shiny things or if Trump really has the staying power to keep this going for the next 16 months.

    But the outlandishness of his claims require explanation.

    The first response should be, "How in the hell are you going to do that?"

    His response normally is, "Believe me. I will."
