The board writing, over the weekend his gop rivals and candidates for the democratic nomination all condemned the mayhem that has broken out in and around trump rallies. Although protesters have a responsibility to avoid violence and let trump to be heard at his own rallies it is the candidates to set a tone from the top instead his rhetoric has inflamed fans and opponents alike. This morning, we want to hear from you. Want to hear your calls. The Editorial Board noting those running against donald trump spent yesterday talking about this on the sunday shows. Ted cruz on meet the press talking but the donald trump rallies. [video clip] the protesters have no right to engage in violence. No right to threaten violence. These protesters, whether it is black lives matters or Bernie Sanders protesters coming in trying to shout down any speaker, that is not free speech. First amendment gives your right to speak but it does not give you a right to silence others. The protesters are behaving abusively. At the end of the day in any campaign responsibility starts at the top and it is not beneficial when you have a president ial candidate like donald trump telling supporters punch that guy in the face. What would you advise donald trump to do . This is reflecting on the party as a whole or it could considering he is the front runner. I think every candidate ought to aspire toward decency. Bringing us together. I dont think we should be using hateful rhetoric. I dont think we should be cursing at people. I have been troubled by the where heonald holds asks all the people to raise their hand and pledged support to him. This is america. We dont pledged allegiance to a man. Host ted cruz yesterday on meet the press. We are asking viewers what your experience has been like at a trump rally. One example from facebook. Matthew wrote and that i went to one in kansas city. Everyone who was there to see trump seemed to have a good time as well. Lots of protesters in the audience but they would get called out and escorted out. As soon as trump said he would prosecutors the protesters and called on them to be arrested there was maybe one more after that. The rally was high energy. People cared about our country, democracy, and what it means to be an american. Protesters heckling Trump Supporters as they left the venue. Fun to get into conversations and arguments with them. Would rally again is what matthew writes. Above that samuel writes, i was told to go back to mexico because i was illegal. I went because i had to see this crowd for myself. I informed the got was active duty military and shut him up and he stood by his statement. Two comments, two experiences of those who have attended trump events on our facebook page. You can join the conversation. Sandra, good morning. Caller i have not got to go to one yet. As of the other day i will make it to one. I am still so angry at the way people are doing donald trump. Him and doescusing not seem like they want to go with what the people want. I would not have blamed him one bit. Those people were acting like idiots. I am a republican. Voting republican a long time but if they make us vote like for mccain or romney, i will vote democrat next time. We want what we want. Host you said you are going to a donald trump event, have you ever been to an event for a poll political cycle before . Caller no. I usually picked the one i want. They have done him horrible. Host is that why you are attending one this time around . Making the effort to go to a rally this time . Caller that is exactly right. I will try my best to go to the one closest to me. I am tired of the way they are doing him. Cruz has made me so ashamed of him. Let the people decide who they want. If they lose to hillary, fine. Let it be what we want. Host we showed ted cruz on meet the press over the weekend. Many of the candidates on sunday shows this being the topic of conversation after that rally was canceled on friday after arrests on saturday outside a trump event. This story continuing through the beginning of this week heading into that important tuesday primary day. Five primaries happening including winner take all states of florida and ohio for republicans. Riemer is happening in North Carolina and missouri primaries happening in North Carolina, missouri and illinois. What was your experience like . Is your experience like what has been shown on the television . Robert is calling in from waldorf, maryland. Good morning. Caller good morning. This thing is manufactured by the media and Republican Party. For the media to sit back and accuse donald trump of all of this vitriol and violence is nonsense. For the last seven years for sure anybody who disagreed with barack obama was a racist. Barack obama sat in a racist church for 20 years listening to a preacher preach against the white man, the jew, america. How bad america is and death to america. The media never said anything about that. Barack obama preaching against how the police are bad. And you wonder why this tension is so high. Host robert, what event did you attend . Caller the first one that gets within reach of me i will be there. That lady from alabama just said the truth. The more you guys talk, the more you guarantee trump. That is what is drawing me to him. The media is so crooked. You lie. This man is a great man. He is a great man. He wants to make this country great again like he says. You guys in the media, you soft liberals cannot handle the truth. You guys have turned people against one another. You guys are the ones doing all this stuff. Host all right, robert. We have a line for Trump Supporters. 202 7488000. If you want to talk about what you intended what you experienced at an event. 202 7488001. For members of the media if you want to talk about your experiences 202 7488002. For protesters it is 202 7488001. Keep calling in. We want to hear your stories. A few stories on Donald Trumps response to some of this criticism that happened over the weekend. The front page of the washington times. Trump promising to send sanders some protesters. Donald trump blames Bernie Sanders on sunday for inciting protests at his rallies. Without to send his own porters to sanders event vals to send his own supporters to sanders events. Incident where a supporter was hit as he was being led out of the rally by police. Hit by one of those members who attended a trump event. Heres the exchange on meet the press yesterday. [video clip] i am not aware. I want to see what that young man was doing because he was very taunting. Very disruptive and from what i understand he was sticking a certain finger up in the air and that is a terrible thing to do in front of somebody that wants to see america made great again so we will see. And that condones a sucker punch . As i told you before, nothing condones but i want to see. The man got carried away. 78 years old. He loves this country and maybe he does not like seeing what is happening. So you do not condone violence . I dont. Well im going to look at it. It was a strange event. From what i heard there was a lot of taunting and a certain finger was placed in the air. I dont condone the violence or what he did. You coulds possible help him with legal fees if this man needs it . I have inched up to my people to look into it, yes. Host we want to hear your experiences at a donald trump rally with them getting such attention in the media. What you have seen through your own eyes. Viennain new jersey is in new jersey. Caller good morning. What is happening with the racism and everything, trump is not a racist. Mediall started from the and the other people that are campaigning. The fact that they twisted trumps words from the beginning. Twisted his words all around. Now they got him as a racist. I want to say that those people at the rally that were disruptive, they are terrorists. They are terrorizing the freedom of speech. They should be dealt with like terrorists. Host we will go on to kathleen who is been to a trump event from dayton, ohio. Good morning. Caller i am a sander supporter however i am really interested when i go to these rallies which i have done for years. I am very interested in how people are thinking. I did have a ticket inside but i stayed outside and talk to people in the lines. Host where was this rally . Caller dayton, ohio. I forget the name of the convention center. People were orderly. Contractor. A a lot of bluecollar workers. I held a sign that said hes listen, and respect. As i talked to people on the line and i stood at this one guys jeep. He had a trump sign. He was a former contractor and he had been squeezed out by people hiring Illegal Immigrants. A civil conversation as well as with other folks it was interesting that bridge between what those two guys, trump does not talk about much, but just about how the American Worker has been squeezed. Dayton was a manufacturing town with lots of bluecollar union jobs that left the country. We talked about how both parties as my teamster world war ii that are in veteran dad used with ii also stood talked to two of the anonymous people standing at the corner and they were iraq war vets. They were not going to vote. They were very upset about how they were sent to iraq based on lies. I asked one young man why they were not going to vote. So why go to these events . Is this something you enjoy doing to engage people on this . D go to trouble events more do you go to trump of vents more . Caller not at all. So i amn colorado park taking care grandkids so i went to two sanders event in colorado. I go interested in because i want to see who is there. I want to see what people think. I engage in conversation. There is a bridge between some of these issues. If you stand and talk with people they will talk about wages, loss of jobs. The woman i stood next to, a pakistan, she had a sign that said islam is not a hate filled religion or Something Like that and im telling her i hate to say it, there were quite a few people who walked past her with stink eye, looking at her with mean looks. Racism there is some being fueled by trump but host have you ever seen Trump Supporters at a sanders event . Trump has said he may start sanderssupporters to events because he plays Bernie Sanders for some of the disruptions that happened. Caller that is absurd. I cannot tell you that i talked to any. I walked up and down the line at the sanders event in denver. There are a lot of young people but there are people my age. I am 63. Bernie possible values are reflective of mine. Bernies values are reflective of mine. I do not go there to stir anything up. I have gone to republican events before. I went to mccain, the sarah palin event in dayton. During the debate last night, Hillary Clinton said Foreign Policy should be brought up more , and indeed it should. And her war record because no one really talks about her role as secretary of state in fomenting the situation in syria and libya and that those refugees, hundreds of thousands of refugees, are part of her policies. Us to encourage all of talk to one another. We can find out we do have similar thinking on similar issues especially on jobs and how will parties sold the American Worker down the pipe. Host want to hear from folks who have been to trump events. This is your chance to call in and talk about what you have seen through your eyes. Hobby in maryland bobby in maryland. Bobby is not there. We will go to antonio. Trump supporter. Caller good morning everybody. Trump 100 . Nald the problem is the media. The media sometimes does the job, sometimes not. It should be responsible. What they say. Mr. Trump tries to fix this country and he is the only one can do this job. Because he is good guy. Host have you been to a trump event . Caller people like rubio or cruz, they work already for the government for so many years. Is turn for change. The country would be much better. Host antonio in boston, massachusetts. We have a line for Trump Supporters, protesters, and members of the media. What have you seen for your own eyes . Have you been to other president ial Campaign Events in previous cycles . Howard is up next on the line for protesters from ohio. Good morning. What event did you attend . Caller dayton. I was very antitrump. I was very intimidated by the tremendous security and everything else. I had no intention of saying anything. More of an observer. I tried to get into a kasich columbus. I could not get in. Host you said you are intimidated. Why go in the first place . Basically, trump, mixed feelings on the positive side. Trump is correct that ohio is a rust belt disaster. All the industry has gone out of their bank. You look at akron, youngstown. These are just wastelands and all the jobs of going to china. I was critical of his manner. Yorker. Uth, brash, new he kind of won the over. I did not like a huge security presence. I realized he needed that protection i suppose but it is overwhelming. I think he is probably being denied his freedom of speech. It is like the lesser of two evils. At this point now, kasich is a disaster for the economy of ohio. Like water gone through a sieve. I dont know what he is talking about when he says ohio has a comeback. You go to any of these former Industrial Centers of ohio, youngstown, akron, this was the industrial heartland of america. Those jobs have utterly disappeared. It is terrible. Host that ohio vote is tomorrow. Part of that big day on the primary trail, five States Holding primaries tomorrow. Wants to follow up on the issue youre talking about, the security of donald trump. This morning, in light of what happened when a protester tried to rush the stage over the weekend at a donald trump event. Here is the new york times. As mr. Trumps Campaign Events have grown more vitriolic, security presence is on edge. The shift comes months after people around mr. Trump urged him to tighten protection out of concern. The trunk campaign would not specifics but his detail and secret service are present at rallies. You can see the security presence around him. Police and perhaps private or secret service surrounding the stage as donald trump speaks. We want here from those who have been to donald trump events. This is your chance to tell us and not just so we see what is on tv, tell us what actually happened from your experience. Good morning. What event did you attend . Caller down here in florida we have had several trump rallies. They have been relatively civil. I am an avid watcher on tv. There is one thing that needs to be said about these rallies and that is, what happens at these rallies with these protesters in lyrical terrorism. Beings the Baltimore Ryan baltimore riot being given license to spill into our political process. I am disgusted with the Democratic Party doing this. This is wrecking our nation. The Democratic Party is afraid of the blackbaud. Of the black vote. They will do and say anything to destroy this country as long as they keep the black vote. , these peopleg will not take yes for an answer. If you give them everything they want, there will be Something Else they are not going to like. They want to terrorize the process i guess. Americans claim that they want a leader who is not being bought and paid for by outside interests. You have it with donald trump. American people say they want law and order but when they have somebody who wants to stick up for law and order, what do they do . I do not know what able to expect when dog whistles are being blown in their years they are not supposed to react . Mrs. Political terrorism. Terrorism. Political im disgusted with the Democratic Party. Host politico with a story yesterday about the effort to shut down the effort that eventually shut down that chicago rally. Inside the protest that stop the truck rally. That story to read it is in politico. Gabriel is waiting on the line for protesters. Which rally to do attend . Caller the ohio one. Else there for something and decided to attend the rally. It is more crazy than everybody thinks. This guy terrorizing everybody. People are getting tired of donald trump. Host you are the second third caller who is used the term terrorized. Why do you think that term is being thrown around by both sides . Caller terrorism does not necessarily mean you have to have a gun. When you get on stage and talk about knocking the crepitus knocking people are getting tired of this guy. He is moving from an entertainer to a terrorist. This is not the america people know about. America is a plac
